Maybe he chose not to be in the SHU. You are locked down 23 hours of every 24 hour day. No contact, no TV, nothing to do. I wouldn't want to do it. Stop trashing people before you even know any of the facts. Everyone is incompetent and stupid in your eyes. Scuffles like he went through probably play out thousands of times a day in the country's prisons. It's not club med.
You are thinking of state and county prisons and jails for th emost part. Federal prisons simply do not tolerate this level of disorder.
The man was in his supposedly locked cell, sleeping. Someone gained access to his cell in the night to perform this beating' they found the key somewhere -- so what kind of prison is this that people are not safe sleeping at night?
What an assinine statement. These BP agents have already been convicted of a charge which was invented solely to deal with habitual criminals, not cops doing their jobs. Any fool knows cops are at special risk in prison, yet somebody let Ramos get attacked. That's dereliction of duty at the very least, and possibly corruption of a murderous kind. Yet you sneer that they should expect hard times in jail. These guys shouldn't even be in jail!
If you think public employee should get hard time for making a mistake in an extremely high-stress situation (making an arrest), then what about DHS and prison bureaucrats sitting on their a$$es, with plenty of time to premeditate their actions.
I think you're putting yourself out on a limb. Your side is becoming more untenable by the minute. Frankly, I hope your limb gets cut off. You have no mercy for these agents; you deserve none for yourself.
