Andrew Ciolli was in charge of the penitentiary at Thomson in Illinois for one year, before he moved to lead an even larger and more high-profile prison complex in Florence, Colorado. An internal investigation by the Bureau of Prisons conducted last spring found that some staff at Florence used excessive force in violation of policy, and Ciolli, as warden, should have stopped it — but didn’t. Investigators referred him for disciplinary action. But he’s now landed a role as the director of the bureau’s Management and Specialty Training Center, which provides leadership training and specialized instruction across the agency.

      Our whole prison system is about vengeance. We don’t even really care if the person in prison is actually guilty, let alone whether or not if what they are guilty of deserves the punishment they’re getting.
