“A Chicago man says he was confined for three days – shackled, interrogated and fed only twice, his whereabouts unknown – inside the police ‘black site’ at the epicentre of public outcry over allegations of abuse said to focus on minority citizens.”
–The Guardian: Chicagoans detail abusive confinement inside police ‘black site’

“Isolation, deprivation of food, other outside contact. It’s meant to be a lot of touchless torture. So they’re not touching you, which in the human-rights field is more powerful and scary because it doesn’t leave marks but leaves huge internal wounds. Most of the time, people aren’t physically abused. They’re cut off from society, not allowed phone calls, not fed as much.”

About Miss Liberty

This site is a collection of films and documentaries of particular interest to libertarians (and those interested in libertarianism). It began as a book, Miss Liberty’s Guide to Film: Movies for the Libertarian Millennium, where many of the recommended films were first reviewed. The current collection has grown to now more than double the number in that original list, and it’s growing still.
