This guy wasn't Scott's housing officer. Thorin is, he will be the last interview.

One of the top robot builders on Battlebots is a former prison guard. I think this an outlet for people in this line of work to be encouraged.

The whole prison system is poisoned . The people who work in the prisons are poison. What a horrible way to spend your life . If they choose to do this job , they deserve the hell that they live in . Total scum.

All out Scott:

hahahaha there are some guards over 300lbs that cant run at all. and these guys are to be relied on for backup

Wait until you hear Thorin. He was amazing Gregory. It's hard to put everyone in one shitty category. That's why we offered three perspectives tonight.

gregory:

You were in medium ? I am talking about most but especially the max , towny types like up in Danamora . The whole subject makes me sick . Glad you got out . Now you are an inmate on fmu it seems.

kimzilla:

I did find it crazy that most of the issues are not around the prisoners, it was all about the problems with their fellow CO's. I was not expecting that.
  7:23pm
JeremyB:

@gregory. I'm sure some people think of it an honest way to make a living. I wouldn't assume they are all bad people.

I don't know enough about this but I keep wondering how state vs private prisons differ.... if the cops are better or worsened

Good evening, Lifewits. This would not be a job for me. Sounds like it's constant conflict.
Avatar 7:24pm
All out Scott:

officers were comfortable with me. i heard alot of complaints about officers that did really dumb stuff
  7:24pm
gregory:

Think about it , they have no other way of making a living ? They deserve the shit they live in . They may go home at night but they are inmates too.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 7:25pm
dale:

i like all this prison chat. the whole system is about the money and the kickbacks.
  7:25pm
JeremyB:

*cops was meant to be COs
Avatar Swag For Life Member 7:26pm
dale:

...and we demonize crimes and races based on how much money can be made off their incarceration.
  7:26pm
Emily:

Hi Ken from HP!!
Agreed—not a job for me, either.
Avatar 7:26pm
All out Scott:

prisons should be turned into work camps supplying the private sector

MadameLuke:

These are really interesting. A friend of mine is a CO.

Gregory - I don't think it's fair to generalize and dismiss an entire group of people like that.
Avatar 7:27pm
All out Scott:

code one on unit 113

Emily:

@dale yeah, that does seem to be the case. Harder to fight the bad system when there’s money to made, I think.

# gregory you are not far off though. every home has its toilet
Avatar 7:29pm
All out Scott:

  7:29pm
Emily:

@Madame Luke yes—I agree. Absolutely. I think some (like this woman) are really trying to do the good they can within a broken system.

I will do just that and will tune out .

Richard S:

One summer, I actually taught a course in Astronomy at a nearby women's correctional facility. Best behaved students I'd ever had. I remember being told during my "briefing" that they shouldn't give me any trouble, because they *wanted* to be out of their cells.

Good gravy, this guy!

Emily:

Yes—that’s what got me. “The human problems.” Not inmate problems. We all have problems.
Avatar 7:51pm
Richard S:

I suppose the question we need to ask (as a society) about prison is if its purpose is retribution (punishment/revenge on criminals) or rehabilitation.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 7:52pm
Ken From Hyde Park:

Imagine the prison CEO dreaming about replacing COs with robots. Unfeeling, not-high robots that aren't snitching on each other.
Avatar 7:53pm
All out Scott:

@Richard difficult question because every case is different. some guys Should not ever be released. others will never rehabilitate some want to but dont know how
  7:53pm
Emily:

@Richard YES.

All out Scott:

made my life so much better learning all this stuff

JakeGould:

Go back to Reagan cutting off federal funding instituted by Jimmy Carter to fun community mental health care efforts. The prison system is now a pseudo-mental health care proxy thanks to crap like that. Take care of the health of your society and prisons get to focus on being competent. en.wikipedia.org...
  7:57pm
JakeGould:

As long as there is a lack of social care in a society, this will not get solved. And the “prison industrial complex” has been built on a foundation of social services being yanked away.

Scott's mom:

great show. we need continuation of the human aspect of all concerned.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 8:03pm
Philthy woman:

Good show. So much. As usual the 'inside' needs more of this detailed free expression. Be cool to hear from inmates about their relationships w/ each other and staff too. Whole other level of clearances and inhabition though I know, hard to do. But maybe former inmates? Just thinkin. Thanks all
Avatar Swag For Life Member 8:06pm
Ken From Hyde Park:

Yes, true. Last week's show featured a former inmate.
