Close the Judge Rotenberg Center and Prosecute Matthew Israel for Torture!

The Issue

We need to stop the cruel and inhumane treatment of human beings in this facility. No one should be treated like this, especially when there is no therapy given to these individuals. They are just being controlled by electric shock with no regard to their well-being. This is torture, plain and simple, not therapy or mental health care by any means.
