Do the correctional officers use torture on the inmates, in the US facilities?

a very close family member spent 6 years in a illinois correctional facility and just got out, he told me the guards tortured him repeatedly. is this true
he said they cut him, using knives and razor blades, they beat him and broke his arm and ribs.
he has scars from cuts on his body.
from the marks on his body and what he said they did to him, it was like dr mengele was one of the guards there. his body is badly scared

do they cut the inmates, I mean do the officers take the inmates to a celler or and hold him down while a other officer uses a knife or sharp blade and make long painful slow cuts on the inmates skin, and watch him bleed out
Additional Details
dam it seems like our DOC chooses the worst sadists for correctional officers, they must all idolize dr Joseph mengele the guard at the auschwitz concentration camp

Cody: Not in this century and not in this country. Prior to the latter part of the 1970's, Corrections ( and the prison system) had what was called Civil Death. This meant that when a person was convicted of a felony crime and sent to prison, he was kicked off the face of the planet. He had NO rights and whatever happened behind the bars was considered punishment for his crimes.In legal terms, this time period was considered a "hands off" area, meaning inmates could not file lawsuits nor be heard in outside courts about anything that happened behind the wire.

The liberals have taken over the penal system since then. The court system is now considered "hands on" and the offenders have more rights than you or I. We now have "jailhouse lawyers" that sit in the publicly funded legal library on each prison grounds and search for legal loopholes to sue the state or prison on.

I will also add that Correctional staff has what is called a "code of conduct", which is a book that is 234 pages thick. Not 234 rules, but 234 PAGES of rules. If I use offensive language to an offender and he writes me up, I am subject to disciplinary procedures. I am considered the professional and must act as such regardless of provocation or statements made against me. My legal recourse is locking someone up in Seg followed with tickets written against the offender who then goes to RIB ( Rules Infractions Board) to be heard.

I am positive that your close family member has a multitude of scars all over his body, but I am just as sure that Correctional staff did NOT put them there. For whatever reason, he is concocting some very tall tales. If a fraction of actions such as this existed in reality, he would be at the District Attorney's Office the second he was released filing charges and you would be reading about mass arrests being made at your local prison.

As far as the other poster who stated his family member forced an inmate to eat ground glass in spaghetti as a punishment, I will again repectfully state that these are tales being told. Ingested glass would kill.

Of course, my stating all the above is not going to "change your mind" if you want to believe allegations such as this. I at least wanted to answer this question with some truthfulness ( which it seems your family member does not have the same compulsion to do).

Best of luck and I hope this is useful to you

The stuff that this 'very close family member' said pegs out MY B.S. Meter but what is actually done is torture by another name: REHABILITATION! Rehabilitation is a fraud that has been perpetrated on the guilty, the victims and We the People in general. It implies that the criminals, the REAL criminals who REALLY deserve and need to be in prison to keep the rest of us safe were habilitated to start with. They weren't! As for the rest, the bulk of the prison population, they are being habilitated to the system that unless they are very lucky, they will never escape...

My aunt once forced an inmate to eat spigetti that had been laced with broken glass because he had attacked another guard. Ya, he was a bad dude, but I wouldn't do that to even my worst enemy.
