Here's the bottom line:

- Prisons are full of violent people (even if not all those in prison are violent).
- Violent people can only be controlled by superior violence or the threat of that violence.
- In name of "civil rights", a liberal/leftist cabal of lawyers, courts, journalists and social activists have tipped the balance against those who we charge with running are prisons.
- Now that prison officials have been stripped of the ability to truly control their own prisons, the prisoners themselves control much of daily prison life.

Should anyone be honestly surprised by the consequences: that the most violent prisoners rule the lives of the less violent prisoners? When the same leftist cabal now start pointing their finger, someone should tell them where to shove that pointing finger. DON'T LET THE LEFT (INCLUDING YOUR NYTIMES) BLAME PRISON OFFICIAL!

If what you say is true, then 'prison officials' should resign en masse in protest.

Whoa...what about those gubmint paychecks?!

Guess those honorable men will sit tight.

It's not like they weren't doing all these same things before they went to prison --- violence is the reason most are there --- so it shouldn't really be a surprise that they never changed.
