Im familiar with a CO in one of the more ‘humane’ prisons in the country. Recently transfered inmates who are trying to power pose to their new cell block often get told they can calm down there by the veteran inmates. The prison rewards good behavior enough that it’s created a shift in inmate culture, AND STILL, there is tons of things that more than most people would consider much less than humane. This is another one of those deeply systematic problems that I guarantee you’ll find shades of in your own community.
