not exactly, but close.  without oversite, guards will use excessive force, but not if the inmates werent asking for it. there used to be a mutual respect between guard and inmate. but the cops bad, criminals good ideology killed that. now the inmates walk all over the guards, and the guards are powerless to do anything about it. prison has become a comfortable boys club, a socialist utopia. a place where child molesters and rapists live out their days playing grab ass on the yards all day, get top notch medical care and spent their free time filing false complaints in hopes of a payout. and you get to pay for it all.
