Corruption and abuse of power by authority figures.

Prison guards and counselors who break the rules disgrace their uniform as well harm their charges.

Even a prisoner deserves to be treated with dignity and respect.

There is a line none of us should cross.

I keep hearing about midwest values. I guess these guys didn’t subscribe to that. They should be in prison! Oh wait!

Why in the holy hell are there men working at a woman’s prison?

Prisons should be sex-segregated to keep the sex down...

Most of us never crossed the line, but a few did. All of those who did, thought they would be the one who would get away with it. They forgot the prime directive. Inmates ALWAYS tell on them.

Most people with two functioning brain cells know this, but I think some dip wad, somewhere along the line, filed a lawsuit. They claimed it was discriminatory, to prohibit males from working in a female joint, and females from working in a male joint. They won the lawsuit, so anyone can work anywhere. I know it sucks, but that is reality. 👎

I just think bringing back old-time hangings would hit the mark square-on.

“Corruption and abuse of power by authority figures.”

Nope! Just one more breed of union goon!

Anyone in prison who thinks they are safe there or that there is justice inside ...is living in their head and not reality.

Anyone out of prison who does not try what he or she can to bring conditions in prisons the closest possible to constitutional safety and justice ... is also living in their head and not in God.

Nice post but not the reality of prison life. Prisons are ‘a city’ unto themselves where the ‘citizens’ are all criminals locked in their ‘home’ cells. Respect and dignity among the inmates are determined by ‘their’ rules not the guards...... When they are let out or transported etc. all bets are off....anything can happen and does...there are no lines that can’t be crossed.

As for the guards...every system of operation has their bad seeds.....including the Pastors and Leaders of our churches.

In society at large, where there will always be some malefactors who have escaped apprehension or potential malefactors who haven’t occasioned it yet, one could say the same thing, and yet we still try to keep as much security and order as practical.

I see an attempt to say “Not a problem” to the legal complaint raised. Sorry, can’t agree. Not if we want to keep our consciences.

And there are women who work in mens prisons. I agree, men guaeds for men, womens guards for women. Deputies in jails ought to be the same way.

I cannot agree that citizens outside of prison are responsible for the ‘conditions within’ the prison system when the majority of the prisoners determine ‘the terms’ of safety and justice among themselves.... and the guards know this.

The ‘court system’ inside prison reminds me of how retail managers conduct employee ‘reviews’.

The guards keep ‘order’ until there isn’t. Their job is to re-establish that order first and foremost because the prison environment is like a tinderbox, one small spark can set off a raging fire and there are precious few guards to put it out let alone contain it. Guards die trying.

It’s never about consciences inside those walls...it’s about daily ‘survival’ where inmates can and do things they would never consider in the outside world just to keep their sanity and come out in one piece.
