Serious human rights violations such as torture, genocide, war crimes and use of child soldiers Immigration related offenses, particularly those involving human rights violators or smuggling networks connected with national security or transnational organized crime International violent crimes, particularly those involving U.S. government employees and contractors overseas. HRSP prosecutes cases in partnership with the United States Attorneys’ Offices. HRSP does not investigate instances of domestic torture and does not investigate individual cases of alleged abuse and mistreatment of wards of the court or prisoners residing in the U.S.A. (CRIPA) MWAN is not trial of any cases of alleged psychiatric torture or forced drugging or involuntary electroshock treatment that were litigated under CRIPA. CRIPA does not investigate individual allegations of torture, cruel, inhumane and degrading treatment. In 2014 DOJ Disability Rights Cases (CRIPA) that are published on their website involved primarily cases of community integration or disability access under Title II of ADA. The emphasis is the rights of individuals with disabilities to receive services in their communities, rather than in institutions. CRIPA Many U.S. facilities that and provide medical treatment to wards of the court are private facilities or run by government sub-contractors. CRIPA Although even one incidence of individual torture would constitute a violation of CAT, the DOJ does not represent individuals or address specific individual cases. CRIPA investigators are not trained to do Istanbul Protocol torture evaluations. The DOJ only investigates institutional, systemic problems and file lawsuits against facilities as a whole. There have been relatively few investigations and even less prosecutions of human rights violations of individual persons who are abused within psychiatric facilities and in outpatient treatment. This lack of prosecution does not mean that human rights abuses do not occur. The most serious human rights abuses occur behind closed doors and in secret. The isolated nature of institutions and the vulnerability of their residents combine to create environments ripe for abuse. In 2002 one and a half million Americans resided in 17,000
