THIS! Almost all inmates are illegally kept in functional solitary and/or unconstitutional conditions. 30% of my long term facility was classified 'short term housing' because they were not constitutionally allowed to keep pe

I don't think that's as true anymore with the fentanyl stuff. I saw a lot of ex-marines that got hooked on pain pills because their bodies were beat up, moved on to fentanyl, started dealing to support habit, and hatch a 17 year b

Don't forget the thin blue line. The pressure to not snitch among them is huge, and comes from the top. During my time in I watched all of the decent COs become alcoholics/drug addicts and ultimately quit. We had one decent '
