You may recall, Reader, that I have brought to you some grim stories about HPD officers abusing the girls at Titty Twisters Club. The article opened the flood gate to a much larger scoop of abuse committed by HPD, in what I would call “HPD Rape-Gate”. These violations occur mostly in the cells, but in a couple of incidents survivors were violated after their release.
In the shadows of our justice system, within the confines of prison cells, tales of horror unfold that defy the very principles of humanity. Our recent investigations have unearthed a disturbing pattern of violations committed by police within these walls, ranging from physical torture to the heinous crime of rape.
Law of the Jungle
Survivors from the cells have told me about routine beatings and torture. These unlawful practices had little to do with interrogation. One survivor who was arrested for disorderly behaviour, said that Officer Black along with a colleague treated her like a “Punching Bag” for a sport.
Another testimony, along similar lines, disclosed that the brutality and abuse within the cells was like entertainment for the officers. One of the most egregious violations that has come to light is the use of torture as a means of coercion and punishment. Techniques such as beatings, humiliation, and suffocation have been employed by police officers to extract confessions or maintain control over inmates.
Sexual Violence
Female survivors who had been inmates at HPD, told me they were raped. In one case, where Officer Carter Ellis, raped a female inmate twice. We have obtained medical proof which documents his DNA was found on the victim. Another Officer Ziau Adachi, was also named as a rapist and someone who engages in torturing inmates.
The nature of sexual violence is that a tool of domination, which goes beyond just the physical act of penetration but it is a total subjectaion of a human being. The psychological scars left by such acts can be profound, leaving survivors with lasting trauma and a sense of violation.
What makes these abuses all the more troubling is the culture of impunity that often surrounds them. Despite numerous allegations and mounting evidence, HPD officers are rarely held accountable for their actions, shielded by a system that turns a blind eye to the suffering of those it is meant to protect.
As might be expected for such an article, we have had to keep our cards close and get information, evidence, testimony as best we can and as for speaking to HPD about this? Well, we have, just not the official media team.
What Can be Done?
Reading this, Hathians, you might feel a sense of helplessness because these crimes are committed by law enforcers who are meant to protect us. I think to address these systemic issues, urgent action is needed at both the institutional and societal levels. Comprehensive reforms must be implemented to ensure greater transparency and accountability within HPD.
Efforts to combat the root causes of violence and abuse within prison cells must extend beyond the walls of prison cells. This includes addressing issues such as inadequate training for police officers, and a lack of oversight and accountability mechanisms.
Ultimately, the fight against police brutality and abuse in prison cells is a fight for the very soul of our justice system. It is incumbent upon all of us to stand up against these egregious violations of human rights and work towards a future where every individual is treated with dignity and respect, regardless of their circumstances.
Stay Safe Hathians.
