I know first hand (not as an inmate) that correctional officers abuse and beat inmates. The "good old boy" mentality exists way beyond the southern states when it comes to America's prisons. I hope that these COs are convicted and get a taste of their own medicine, oh, wait, they will be put in protective custody because they are, in reality, little girls able to push people around because they settled for a job as a prison guard.
