This episode of Loven Radio is a collaboration with our friends at Amnesty International UK.

The routines become a big part of your life. You start organizing your day around routines,

at least I did. Most of the guys, they either win in the same or became canotonic,

or they're withdrawing it themselves.

I've seen men reduced to screaming. I've seen men convert to being babies,

curling and fetal positions and just laying down.

I've seen men beat their heads against the balls. I've seen the brutality of security who have

no training and the unequipity deal with guys when they have these breakdown.

This solution is to lock them in the dungeon, which is just another form of solitary confinement.

And you know, submission.

I don't know if I can find the words just to even give the listener an idea how horrible it is to be in solitary.

44 years of the long time.

From radio toopia, you're listening to Loven Radio. I'm Nick Vettercork.

So like, I'm doing everything trying to attract his attention. You know, I'm just not for the

We both grabbed the bees at the same time. But she's like, these are mine, these are mine.

This is for me, this is for my mom. And I'm holding up the guy. Hey, tell her these mine, these mine.
