There are MANY sick animals in there (max no less!!) and being tough means NOTHING because they are clinically INSANE!!
I learned long ago that insane trumps tough most every time.
Crazy what the guard said though.
And I DID NOT know they had machine guns.
In one short stay, I saw a kid being walked around on all fours on a leash with his face swollen like a catcher’s mitt.
Don’t want to think of how often he was raped.
The weapon was a Colt M-4 short barrel tactical, I assumed it was an ordinary AR-15.
As I was working, the guard was talking to me (essentially warning me) about the savages that inhabit Max Sec. His basic tone was “you simply have no idea what levels of depravity are kept here”. That the level of amorality was beyond comprehension. He’d been a guard there for 25 years and seen things that would make you puke.
He was a strong advocate for the death penalty because when you’re doing life without parole, and in “the hole”, what more punishment can you mete out to them besides exectution.
He complained that those who say “keep them in jail for life” don’t have to guard those walls and deal with the complete disregard for any convention of civilization.
