It does, albiet indirectly. Surely prison guards deserve to be paid less than cops? Seems to me they require less in the way of skills, and the job is less dangerous, too.

I have to agree that this is a bribe, and it's pathetically low for the benefit they got, too. Guess Davis isn't a great negotiator.

Surely prison guards deserve to be paid less than cops?

All things being equal, it depends. Do the guard's have same retirement benefits, health etc ? Which job is more dangerous ? Which is the private sector, say Pinkerton's, willing to pay more to ?

These are questions that need to be adressed before assuming its anything more than adjusting pay to market.
