You have to understand what kind of person would choose to work in a fuckin prison; someone without any other options.
Most CO's are total white trash and lack intellect.
The abuse on inmates is no laughing matter and very real.
In California CO's top out at 70k/year, with full medical benefits and pension. I know so many people out here that never had a desire to be in law enforcement and then became prison guards because there is literally nothing else out there. I know some people with college degrees that got into corrections. In Sacramento you have all of the state offices so most people try to get on there, but outside of Sac town, if you don't have an education and/or a business acumen, corrections, or law enforcement in general, is bout the only thing going. Paints an ugly picture for the future. The police state is looming.
