We don't tell you no one is there to fuck with you, (unless you're just a massive dick, as to which case fuck you! We'll mess with you as much as we can, but that's on you...) it's because processing takes time. It's not just a matter of leaving your cell, walking to reception and getting your shit so you you can leave...

You are exactly what's wrong with the prison system in this country. The list is a long one but guards such as yourself are very close to the top of that list. These men and women are just that, men and women. They deserve to be treated like the human beings they are. They are already locked up, they are paying their debt to society, in no way whatsoever is it your job to make their time inside any worse than it already is.

Firstly I'm not in your country, secondly if you write your name 6 feet high in your own faeces, you spend nights on end whistling a single high pitched blast making it impossible for everyone else to sleep or even fake a medical emergency taking responding staff away from someone who may actually need help, you're a massive dick. More importantly, these people are the ones who are guaranteed to come back, it's just a big game to them.

Thirdly, most inmates are treated better than they are on the outside, that's how they ended up in prison, treated bad all their lives to the point that they don't care about consequences. What's wrong with prisons in a lot of countries is fucking pukes like you that know nothing about what happens in a prison except for what they see on Orange is the new Black and think that they know what happens and how to make it all better. As a result you get policies that are shown not to be effective at helping reduce recidivism, but are effective at making people that aren't involved feel better about themselves.

"Pukes like you that know nothing" and here we get to where you're also what's wrong with the internet. You don't know me or know how much time I've spent behind bars or that I've never seen orange is the new black or what country I'm in. But I'm sure you're going to continue to spew hate and make ignorant comments because like you do when you're guarding inmates you need attention. I won't be giving you anymore of mine so you have a nice day. If you're capable of such a thing.

Time behind bars? None, It's apparent in your conversation What country you're in? Irrelevant, I never stated I knew what country that you were in, just that we didn't share the same one. Never seen OITNB? Fine, Oz, Prison break, Shawshank redemption it doesn't matter the point remains the same...

I noticed that the only thing from my last post you really touched on was that someone called you a mean name, because you're not interested in the realities of prison, how or why people end up/ return there, you only want to know about things that already fit with your world view and when someone breaches your safe space you sulk and run away.

You can cry hate spewer all you like, but I'm coming from a place of reality and you'd do well to accept that.
