Very common occurrence. Sometimes called “Tzevet”. They also put you in 7 day solitary right after, so that you can’t call your lawyer. When the 7 days pass, and you get out and do call him to come, the bruises are mostly gone so there is nothing to document.
To be fair, they do it to Arabs also, but 1) they shouldn’t do it to anyone, and 2) it’s still double standards because they are much quicker to do it to the Jews.
To quote a classic:
“,.-your punishment for having a knife when they searched you would be very different from the thief’s. For him to have a knife was mere misbehavior, tradition, he didn’t know any better. But for you to have one was “terrorism.'” The Gulag Archipelago -Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
Anyway, I can write an entire book on mistreatment of prisoners by the Shabas. To reiterate, it’s significantly worse than you imagine.
