Inmates at Oklahoma County jail were forced to listen to the popular children’s song, “Baby Shark,” loudly on repeat for extended periods of time while standing up handcuffed to a wall, according to The Oklahoman. Former detention officers Gregory Cornell Butler Jr., Christian Charles Miles, and their supervisor Christopher Raymond Hendershott have since been charged with misdemeanor counts of cruelty to a prisoner and conspiracy for the “inhuman” discipline. “It was unfortunate that I could not find a felony statute to fit this fact scenario,” District Attorney David Prater said. “I would have preferred filing a felony on this behavior.”
