Former Oklahoma jail detainees say officers played Baby Shark song as ‘torture tactic’

Plaintiffs charge they were subject to physical abuse and forced to stand for hours listening to children's song played at high volume

Former officers at the Oklahoma City jail are being accused of torturing at least four former detainees with methods that ranged from physical attacks to being forced to listen repeatedly to loud music, according to a federal lawsuit.

In a civil rights suit, reported by the Washington Post, that was filed in federal court this week, four people formerly incarcerated at the Oklahoma City jail said that they were subject to torture tactics" that included verbal and physical assault as well as standing for hours at a time while being forced to listen to the children's song Baby Shark.
