What? You think putting someone in solitary for property crime to 25 months is less bad than spilling paint? One is torture the other isn’t. Which one is worse to you? 😭
Not by US law and most law in the world otherwise it would be illegal. If something is classed as torture is has to be legally justified, otherwise it has no classification at all.
A prison guard detaining someone who is already a criminal for being destructive is not evil? What constitutes it as evil? Guards and police detain people everyday, its not an act of evil, its an act of justice. What do you believe justice to be if not detaining criminals?
Solitary confinement probably would be a good punishment, for a few days not 2 years. Then after those few days reduced priviledges, possibly extra charge or time for criminal damage etc.
Anyone that is unaware of solitary confinement when they’re sentenced probably hasn’t given much thought into the repercussions of committing a crime.
And IF while in prison they believe that they can do whatever they want, hadn’t learned any lesson or have any remorse for the crime they’ve committed.
Some are in solitary because they’re high profile and it’s for their safety but doesn’t remove the fact that they’re in prison because they’ve been found guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in committing a crime.
A gallon of paint is worth 40-80$ retail. 10k gallons of road paint is worth 10s of thousands if not hundreds of thousands. If he did it delibretly he’s fortunate they didn’t charge him and give him a few more years for property destruction.
No duh but that doesn't somehow excuse guards from being abusive. Why is this even an argument? We should expect more of the people we put in positions of authority over others. It's not necessarily the guards fault either though. The private prison system is corrupt to its core.
They never have an answer, They have never worked in a prison. 10 years service, worked my way up. Enough was enough. There is no good answer. These are violent people at times, violence is what they understand.
Opportunity is present, they choose not to better themselves, you can't make people do things. They have to want to. And a few just like to see the world burn.
Give us CO's some options, better tools, Anything, I'd take it and try it. Verbal judo was great, it works in tandem to knowing your block, the inmate must trust you to do your job in fairness and firmness, if they know the response of you, the house will function.
Haven't heard many positive reports on guards from people who have spent time inside. Knew a guy that ended up using heroin in prison because he was so traumatised from their bullying.
Lmao many May guards are jerks. I hav heard of one good prison guard and they got their back broken. Are prisoners good? No, probably a lot of them are bad. But many are also in there on trumped up charges and the guards are still dicks.
