My primary reason for posting this article is the First Amendment violations of taking/destroying writings/drawings and writing supplies, especially in response (retaliation?) to previous writings.

Relation to tech:

> They and family members said guards sometimes hover within earshot during detainees’ video calls to relatives and reporters.
