    From yesterday's Star:

    Faqiri, who had diagnosed schizophrenia, spent 11 days in segregation while experiencing a psychiatric emergency. On Dec. 15, 2016, Faqiri allegedly spit at one of several guards escorting him back to his segregation cell; the guard slapped him in response. After this, a hallway video shows six officers push Faqiri into his cell and one presses the Code Blue button, which sees at least another 20 officers run in for backup.

    The hallway video does not show what happened in the initial minutes after the guards returned Faqiri to his cell.

    It only gets worse.

    My roommate was recently released after serving 27 years in prison for petty theft. He never broke the rules while inside, so that means he has never used a cellphone. He came home to find out our entire lives exist on this device. 📲🧵
