You are exactly right. The last people you want to see taking care of military or political prisoners overseas are the people who routinely violate prisoner's rights at home.

Their entire experience is anti-prisoner and they largely go unchecked at home because of the deference of the courts.

You'd have to see the Maryland prison system.
The inmates have ALL the rights and the guards have none.
The guards can only "file reports" when they're attacked and 9 times out of 10, some "rights groups" or another will turn it around so that the guard gets the blame for being attacked.

I have no idea what goes on in other states.
I know this as fact since my father, ex-husband and most of my male relatives work as guards.
I've seen and heard all about it for 42 years.
