I can trust there is a ability to read and understand

Article 1 of the Convention against Torture

"Article 1

1. For the purposes of this Convention, the term "torture" means any act by which severe pain or suffering, whether physical or mental, is intentionally inflicted on a person for such purposes as obtaining from him or a third person information or a confession, punishing him for an act he or a third person has committed or is suspected of having committed, or intimidating or coercing him or a third person, or for any reason based on discrimination of any kind, when such pain or suffering is inflicted by or at the instigation of or with the consent or acquiescence of a public official or other person acting in an official capacity. It does not include pain or suffering arising only from, inherent in or incidental to lawful sanctions."

And IF YOUR FUCKING VERY VERY VERY LUCKY ONLY ARTICLE 16

ASK YOURSELF IS IT NORMAL TO UNDRESS INDIVIDUALS AND LEAVE THEM TO SLEEP ON THE FLOOR IS THIS THE NORM IN THE U.S. WHEN IN CUSTODY LOL.
