Talk:Pelican Bay State Prison

message: I see mention of "third degree burns" and I am pretty sure this is incorrect. It's a common mistake. AFAIK third degree burns are impossible to get from "hot water". A third degree burn involves charred skin. You can't char skin unless you get past the boiling point of water. At most, second degree burns would be involved. Severe blistering. First degree burns are mere redness, as one would get from a mild sunburn. The common mistake is to assume 1st degree is the worst, when 3rd degree is in fact worse than 1st or 2nd degree. -- 3:43, 1 April 2008 (PST)
The degree of a burn is classified based upon the layers of tissue affected. 3rd degree means the burn extends through the epidermis & dermis (possibly even to muscle & bone). <http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/burns.html> They might be charred, but don't have to be charred to be classified as 3rd degree burns. In fact, 3rd degree burns are often described as charred or white skin. <http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/article/000030.htm>  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Amireally (talk • contribs) 19:16, 11 July 2011 (UTC)

message: For decades the prison has been considered a major human rights violator. The European Court of Human Rights has delayed extradition of citizens to the United States because of super-max prisons such as Pelican, which are in violation of the European Convention on Human Rights.

message: The section says that people have been in SHU for "as long as 18 years" and then references people in for "decades". This doesn't add up. Anyone have more info? --Dante Alighieri | Talk 20:21, 31 January 2012 (UTC)
