False confessions are a serious problem and the police should not be allowed to lie their asses off, but they are in many places like the US (which coincidentally has ridiculous prison stats and a for profit prison system that's pretty much legalized slavery, happy Juneteenth I guess).
Literally legalized slavery in most states. The 13th Amendment explicitly allows slavery as punishment for a crime. Some states have amended their own constitutions to remove that wording, but only a few.
