There were times Mr. Vance began to wish he had just kept his mouth shut, as he huddled on the floor in solitary confinement with that head-banging music blaring dawn to dusk and interrogators yelling the same questions over and over.

Nice to know where my tax dollars are going. Meanwhile my city council is trying to decide if they can continue to fund the women’s shelter. Motherfuckers.
