00:00The U.S. Department of Justice announced an investigation of the Truesdale Correctional

00:05Facility in Tennessee for human rights violations and prisoner abuse.

00:10Prisoners and family members report brutal mistreatment, medical neglect, and cruelty

00:13at the prisons operated by Cords Civic Corrections Corporation, as Phil Dixon, a former officer

00:21at the facility, has been speaking out for years about the abuses he witnessed firsthand

00:25as a prison employee.

00:27Likewise, prisoners' rights organizations have asked the Justice Department to investigate

00:32the violations committed against inmates.

00:34Relatives of the victims warn that Cords Civic agreed to pay millions of dollars to the prisoners

00:39and their families to drop the abuse and neglect charges.

00:45We want something done.

00:47We want somebody to be accountable for these deaths and these minds and these people that

00:54they are ruining.

00:55They did a crime, and they are supposed to serve their time, but it does not mean they

01:01have to lose their entire mind or their life for what they did.

01:06I think that the most significant thing that I saw was the medical neglect.

01:09I mean, I saw prisoners with open, gaping wounds on their body, and I would sign on

01:16as a witness that they were unable to get medical care because that's all they could

01:19do.

01:20Again, it was an open secret, and yet the state of Tennessee inexplicably failed to

01:25do anything.

01:26So that's when people began to reach out, I think, and ask the department to step in.

01:32In the United States as well, a second shooting in less than 12 hours took place in Oklahoma,

01:37in the southern part of the country, leaving one dead and 12 wounded.

01:42The incident was reported at 12.30 a.m. local time, according to Sgt.

01:45John Sakuta, one of the police officers who responded to the call.

01:49The aggravation occurred after a strong argument between the attendees of a party.

01:54In the parking lot, the area where the weapons came out, a deadly result was produced.

02:00The police have not informed neither the age nor the sex of the wounded.

02:03The same source writes that there are detainees for the fact without offering further details.

02:08According to the Armed Violence Archive, this will be the 416th mass shooting so far in

02:14the year 2024.

02:17And the White House released the medical report of Kamala Harris, candidate for the presidency

02:23of the United States, who urged Republican Donald Trump to do the same.

02:27According to the report signed by Dr. Joshua Simmons, Harris is in good health, physical

02:32and mental health to carry out this Democratic candidate took aim at her, accusing him of

02:39lack of transparency by not providing official information about his physical and mental

02:43health.

02:44In response, the businessman's campaign managers assured that their candidate is in good condition.
