A prison warden in North Carolina was suspended after inmates reported various forms of humiliation, including being forced to rub hot sauce on their genitals, the AP reported Tuesday.
Six inmates allege correctional officers forced them to perform numerous humiliating acts, including gulping hot sauce and slathering it on themselves, resulting in painful blisters. The male inmates also reported being forced to simulate sex acts for the entertainment of guards, as well as to capture and kiss wild snakes while working on a road crew.
The warden, Lafayette Hall, has been put on paid leave while the state investigates what happened.
