Wednesday, the former guard said the prison is so huge there is no way guards can monitor every square inch all the time. So, inmates knew that there were places they could go to hide out to do sex or drugs. I wanted to know. It looked like more than I, a law-abiding citizen who has killed no one, have in my bank account. It's from their drug deals.
Visitors bring it in.
We get some of it, but it's so spread out. The former guard, and other guards there, have said inmates seemed to have more rights than prison officials did, at least a few years ago. Guards tried to keep everything on the up and up, the former guard said, but they also wanted to keep the peace. Coming down hard on inmates could mean more trouble for them. But a current guard told me on Tuesday that under the present administration, prisoners have a lot less freedom than they did even a few years ago.
