After watching some documentaries about foreign prisons it often seems that the jail is run by the inmates and that the guards are just there to make sure nobody escapes.
- vkou 5y agoIt's not ran by the inmates, the guards just have a small source of side income if they 'bend' the rules.
- MattGaiser 5y agoIf the inmates employ the guards, they are running it then. Why are inmates allowed currency?
- lazide 5y agoThey usually aren’t allowed direct currency. But if they are trading and have a means to reach the outside (guards or visitors), that is rarely a major barrier. If they’re pimping, arranging ‘free visits’ for guards is one way. having a designated money guy outside who handles payments and they just need to authorize so and so to get $10k, that kind of thing, is another. And once you have guards on the payroll, the rules generally have a lot more flexibility.
