Three former jail employees are now facing charges after allegedly forcing some inmates to repeatedly listen to “Baby Shark”.

County Jail detention officers identified as Christian Miles and Gregory Butler as well as their supervisor Christopher Hendershott are now facing criminal charges after using “Baby Shark” song to punish some inmates.

Oklahoma County district attorney David Prater described the act of the policemen as cruel and inhumane. He said that the playing the song on repeat causes undue emotional stress to the inmates.

The court records said that at least two of the inmates experienced sleep disruption due to the punishment as many claims listening to the song while handcuffed wasn’t a bad punishment.

Lieutenant Hendershott also admitted that he failed to supervise and discipline the involved officers properly.
