You're absolutely right. I worked for 25 years in uniform in NY State's prison system. Met many evil souls, and thugs in my career. Too bad it took him so long to do away with himself. I hope his family gets nothing.
I commend your years of service in the corrections system. Tough job that few people are willing to do, and corrections officers have to endure the worst of humanity, day in and day out. More than the rest of us, you understand there are some people who need to locked away for the rest of their lives and others who deserve that needle in their arm, and sooner rather than later.
