Most of you have probably heard of Amnesty International - an organization that monitors human rights in over 170 countries around the world.
Many people consider the United States to be an international human rights leader.
The ultimate goal of Amnesty's USA Campaign is to focus public awareness on these violations and promote concrete reforms to bring them to an end. In 1948 the United Nations created The Universal Declaration of Human Rights - a list of all the basic rights that all people should have. The right to ask another country to protect you from danger in your country. The right to marry and have a family. According to the report, inmates across the country, including mentally ill prisoners, are being restrained in ways that are cruel, inhuman and sometimes life-threatening.
