If they want to agitate for better pay, more staffing, and better treatment for prisoners (e.g. get them their medical appointments and prescriptions so they’re less likely to have violent mental health episodes), I’m right there with them, but if their definition of decent working conditions means they get to be unrestrained and unchecked sadists then let’s please go full Pinkerton on them all.
I like to support workers.
Too bad these workers spent so much time beating and isolating their fellow citizens, makes.me not care about them.
Stop sending people to prison for bullshit and all of this stuff becomes easier. 🤷♂️
I like to support workers too, but these ones can absolutely go get fucked. The guards say they’re just now striking over a 2021 law to restrict solitary confinement use (archived), which is enough to make me say they can get fucked, but I’m pretty sure that’s all a pretext and the real reason they’re doing this is because it takes attention away from the criminal case against a bunch of guards for beating a prisoner to death (archived). Either way, this going on is causing prisoners to be denied meals showers and medical appointments (archived link within).
