Wanna-be cops with power tripping egosI knew a guy who was a prison guard. He would agree with you. Not all were bad but the bad ones were really bad and the adminstration loved them.

Prison guards. Wanna-be cops with power tripping egos. (Flame Away!)One of my sons was a prison guard. 5 Years at Idaho State near Boise, and 3 years at Oregon state in Ontario.
He told me it's common for guards to be attacked, harrassed verbally, have fecal material (crap for those of you in Fresno, Calif) thown at them. He says it's part of the job, and a guard must NEVER show weekness.
As far as ego trips go... it's possible. But he told me if you treat the them fairly, they'll respond fairly. He could've become a parolle officer, howvever, that can be dangerous as well.

I agree; prison guards are the guys who can't even meet the minimal standards required of cops.
That guy should never again be given authority over anything more animate than a shovel.
