Alabama’s prisons are plagued by abuse, violence, and corruption at the hands of prison guards, according to a correctional officer. Conditions in the central Alabama men’s prison where he works are so filthy and dangerous, he told 1819 News, “I wouldn’t wish prison on my worst enemy.”
In an interview with 1819 News, the officer described rampant corruption among officers and supervisors, unchecked abuse and neglect of the people in their care, and dangerous, disgusting conditions that fuel high turnover among prison staff.
They should do a play on the Stanford prison study, this time just have the inmates and guards change places for 2 weeks.
