NC Jailors Abuse Hot Sauce
January 15, 2013 posted by Steve Brownstein
The NC State Bureau of Investigation has initiated a formal investigation into the Sampson County prison accused of mistreating prisoners with hot sauce and snakes.
A letter sent to U.S. District Court by six inmates claimed that prisoners were made to drink and lather themselves with hot sauce, kiss deadly snakes on the mouth and fake sex acts while working on a road crew.
The prisoners said they performed these acts in exchange for favors such as food and cigarettes for the chance to work for 70 cents a day.
