The “law”, that is in this case the police agent, the district attorney and the prison director, decide to lock away a convicted criminal in a secret cell. The plot is to plant a double, the police agent, in the gang to destroy them.
The prison director has a hidden solitary cell behind a fake wall in his own office. There they put the criminal after he has served his time! This is presented as an adequate method to fight crime.
If you ever had any doubts that extralegal punishment could be a way of “justice” in a formal democracy, here you have the proof. What is here shown is what happened in the past in military dictatorships all over the world, where prisoners “disappeared”.
The most shocking aspect is that this open violation of human rights is propagated in a country that has a constitution with basic human rights and a system of courts and laws. Nevertheless, this sort of propaganda was possible.
After having seen this you are not astonished any more about Guantanamo, the secret CIA-prisons in Latvia, Macedonia, Poland, Romania, Afghanistan and Iraq, and all the torture that happens there. This abuse has an evil basis which seems to be inherent since many decades of political culture in the USA. No wonder that that the School of the Americas trained for decades such methods in the US to “educate” soldiers and police for countries like Guatemala, Honduras, Chile or El Salvador.
