Ex-jail employees charged for playing 'Baby Shark' on repeat

[634-5789]

OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — Two former Oklahoma jail employees and their supervisor face misdemeanor cruelty charges after investigators found they forced inmates to stand handcuffed for hours and listen to the children’s song “Baby Shark” on repeat, a prosecutor said Monday.

At least four inmates were secured to a wall with their hands cuffed behind them while the song played on a loop at a loud volume for hours, The Oklahoman reported. The separate incidents occurred in November and December, according to court records.

1. This is probably

enough for me to overlook my decades long opposition to the death penalty.

2. The two former jail employees and their supervisor should suffer the same fate as those

they abused and be "secured to a wall with their hands cuffed behind them while the song played on a loop at a loud volume for hours".

That, AND the criminal charges.

3. Great, now I have that fucking song stuck in my head. nt
