Ok, we get political and may I say maybe a bit nationalistic or culturally chauvinistic here. Just taking a particular picture as reference can be very deceptive.

I have seen pictures of people being tortured in Guantánamo Bay. Have also seen homes for the elderly where people were constantly heavily sedated.

You can take numerous pictures of people in straightjackets, some up against the wall.

Pictures can easily tell lies. I am sure there must be families in the USA that for lack of a straightjacket have restrained people in less accepted but maybe preferable ways, even such as using leg irons or chains (haven't seen the picture but I can image how such a thing may be more civil).
