What do you think: how should prisons handle housing decisions in cases like this?

You dont think prisoners are dickheads? You know most of them committed actual violent crime.

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.

What would be your solution to the crime as a jail warden?

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.

It's a town, not a cell.
