Authorities say it happened at the Oklahoma County Jail late last year. According to court documents, two detention officers would take the inmates to a visitation room, they were forced to stand the entire time and were handcuffed while the song blared at high levels on a loop. This all took place in late 2019 when the Oklahoma County Sheriff’s Office was in charge of the jail operations. The officers are facing misdemeanor charges of cruelty to prisoners and conspiracy.
