Prison guard unions have become the powerful political forces in some states, particularly California.
The prison guards are capable of committing daily atrocities and obscenities, smiling the smile of the angels all the while.
The fastest growing occupation in the private sector is security guards. The fastest growing occupation in the public sector is prison guards. (1992)
Casting directors now just see me as the hard-core sniper or prison guard.
This so-called ill treatment and torture in detention centers, stories of which were spread everywhere among the people, and later by the prisoners who were freed, were not, as some assumed, inflicted methodically, but were excesses committed by individual prison guards, their deputies, and men who laid violent hands on the detainees.
That there is also freedom in captivity, only a prisoner can claim. Coming from a prison guard, this statement would be blasphemy.
It is important to remember that government interference always means either violent action or the threat of such action. Government is in the last resort the employment of armed men, of policemen, gendarmes, soldiers, prison guards, and hangmen. The essential feature of government is the enforcement of its decrees by beating, killing, and imprisoning. Those who are asking for more government interference are asking ultimately for more compulsion and less freedom.
I'd never been a prison guard before or anything.
