[@johnsmith-ik8il]

She's been potted in Jail. Let me tell you something: no governor gets potted in jail unless they're an absolute bully that mistreats people. I don't think you could possibly imagine the beat down you're about to get if you do that to a governor in prison. Trust me, I've spent many years behind the door and been in 21 different prisons. I'd bet you my last pound this woman is an abuser who has mistreated inmates. Anyone who's been behind the door understands this. BTW, being potted means having a bucket of excrement and urine thrown over your head. Good officers are respected by inmates because they are few and far between. So many officers are psycopathic, narcissist, cluster B types who beat, humiliate and abuse their positions and often mistreat the most vulnerable mentally ill inmates.

[@siriosstar4789]

@johnsmith - lol ,talk about a biased viewpoint . let's cut to the chase , prisoners don't have rights. That's a weak position to take . once you get out of prison ,assuming you do , then some ' rights ' are reestablished , but when you are in the can yo deserve to be treated horribly .

[@freakishuproar1168]

What she said about evil was a terrifyingly salient point. Despite all the factors that can contribute to a person's morality (external and internal) evil is ultimately a choice, you _choose_ to do it. It's a sobering realization that when we're desperately looking for a explanation for why an individual did something appalling - often under the misguided attempt to convince ourselves that "normal people don't do such things" - we are in reality ALL capable of doing evil. A moral framework is a hair's breadth away from carnage and cruelty.

I worked for 10 years in an Australian prison and one of my senior officers was this older Maori woman. She was tiny, barely 5 ft tall, covered with tribal tattoos and with a buzz cut of white hair. She was such a formidable woman that the inmates respected her and considered her a mother/grandmother figure. She was firm but fair, accepted no nonsense, and let them know that she believed in their potential but also when she was disappointed in them. I remember one inmate in our wing got sacked from his prison job for constant lateness, and she found out the next day from other staff. When she questioned him as to why he didn't say anything, he said he knew he'd screwed up and that she'd be disappointed in him so he kept it to himself. After lecturing him thoroughly, she gave him another chance and gave him a job in the accommodation wing on the 'dish up' crew (working behind the bain maries serving other inmates at mealtimes). She gave him this job because his issue was tardiness, and he couldn't afford to be late in this job - the other inmates would hold him accountable if he was late at mealtimes. He HAD to do better. She was great to work under.

I was in a prison in Norway for 3 months or so as a so called "civilian worker" as I decided I had enough of being called into military service for a week every year. Anyway in those 3 months lots of things happened, I learnt a few things about humans and how they can behave. In terms of working in a prison I observed that the prisoners of course mostly were miserable, negative and depressed, but so were the guards. So I could never have worked in a prison, well not unless it was one of my last options as a job. It's a depressive environment.

I watched ‘Time’ earlier this month while off work sick, really great little drama series. Sean Bean is brilliant as always, and the rest of the cast are also fantastic. Interesting to hear it is a good portrayal of life in prison from someone who’s done the job for so long. Amazing interview, if this woman writes a book I’ll be first in like to buy.
