    It’s horrifying. But then so much of the modern prison system is nightmarishly dystopian. From Israel to India to El Salvador, the systematized psychological, physical, and sexual assault of prisoners has been absolutely normalized, often seemingly for no other reason than prison guard recreation.

    Nobody in power seems to have an interest in curbing these abuses. If anything, mutilated and massacred prisoners seem to be a part of the “Zero Tolerance” propaganda of carceral states.

      This is the kind of guy NYS is hiring as a “guard”. From the look on its face, I have to believe it’s thinking “I hope I get my hands on this freak in private - I’ll rip his guts out”. Just the psychopathic qualities you want in a prison guard, ICE thug, or FSB interrogator.
