The Abu Ghirab prison was the most horrific‚ brutal and dehumanizing thing I have even come across. The level of suffering the inmates experienced words cannot express how terrifying it is.

There is an ongoing problem that I would love to understand and possibly solve. That problem is racial inequality and the dehumanizing of “others”.
