Death of mentally ill inmate locked in hot shower...

[Dark Sonic]

The death of a mentally ill Florida inmate who begged for his life as his skin was scalded from his body in a locked shower stall has been ruled accidental, according to reports.

According to the Miami Herald, the death of Darren Rainey, 50, in 2012 was attributed to complications stemming from schizophrenia, heart disease and “confinement” in the shower where he was placed as punishment for defecating in his cell and then refusing to clean it up.

A recently released autopsy report from the Miami-Dade Medical Examiner’s Office states that Rainey was shoved into a narrow shower stall with the scalding water turned on full blast, eventually leading to his death.

Two hours after being placed in the stall, his lifeless body was found face up with his skin burned so badly that it had shriveled away from his body — a condition medical examiners call “slippage.”

There's no way this egregious monstrosity happened! It must be a hoax, it has to be, there's no way that-

My brother was mentally ill and they wanted to put him into some sort of clinic (because my parents died). Since I knew that exactly this happens to mentally ill people I searched for a second job so he could stay with me.

I feel bad for Darren

Cruel and Unusual Punishment (Torture). Regardless of his sentence, that's low by human standards.

That is completely screwed up, accident my ass. I hope that one day we find a way to cure mentally ill people because there is no place for them in the world. I'm speaking metaphorically btw, screw mental clinics. I've heard stories of how those people are treated and it makes me rage.
