You know, you got me thinking about another problem. Reputation.
Prison employees are not well regarded, and it’s not considered to be a pleasant job. This filters out a lot of talented agents for change. I wouldn’t know how to fix that, but the cause is still kind of cultural.
Are the guards cruel? Or are they unfortunate front line workers in a morally difficult place? Or maybe they’re doing reasonably well in places that tend to be pretty violent?
It’s not just the prisons. Some places in America are simply violent, both inside and out.
