Arrest and Brutal Treatment Amid Democratic Suppression

An eyewitness account describes arrest and detainment in a Provost Marshal prison amid political turmoil. The author, a Democrat, reports humiliation, naked search, and exposure to a crowded, squalid cell with rotting conditions, foul air, and abuse by guards. He contrasts civilian civility with military captivity and condemns the brutal treatment used against dissent.
