Jail employees at Oklahoma, USA are facing charges for painful misbehaviour and torture as more than four prisoners were often handcuffed and forced to stand and listen to the popular children’s song Baby Shark repeatedly for hours.
Gregory Cornell Butler Jr. and Christian Charles Miles, both 21 years of age, are jailers who have been charged for the offense on counts of cruelty to prisoners and victimizing them ‘undue emotional stress.’ Along with the jail employees, their supervisor, Christopher Raymond Hendershott, 50 years of age, is also involved.
According to the officials, the prisoners were handcuffed to a wall then the song was played on loop at a loud volume on the speaker for hours.
“It was unfortunate that I could not find a felony statute to fit this fact scenario,” Oklahoma County District Attorney David Prater said.
