They’re tough on crime. I’m not saying we need to go this far . . . but the “catch and release” system we have has some serious flaws.
Professional interrogators will tell you that the quality of information you get by torture is poor. A man under torture will tell you anything, true or false. What torture WILL get you is false confessions that suit your narrative.....as Stalin’s thugs proved time and again during the Great Purge.
