    Sometimes the guards bring in the dope because they can’t survive on the Lil bit a money they make working at the prison. It’s all a joke the biggest criminals are the guards. Convicts are going to fight and have problems, you have 100 people locked in a cage of course they will fight. You can take 100 do good citizens and place them in a cell together and they are going to fight. And for Nod everyone makes mistakes just because you have not been caught does not make you any better than anyone else. Could be you sitting in Century one day.

    @Gary
    Bad things and violent things happen in all prisons and jails both to CO’s and inmates for some reason these are being more publicized lately. If every incident large and small were publicized you would be tired of reading……….

    Put them all in a single cell the day they get there and let them out the day their time is up. No human contact no Tv no nothing except basic necessities periods. Then they won’ t be so cocky.
