9. I don't know what your idea of 'standard prison life' is

It's pretty damn harsh, I think people can attest to.

This was a guess at why some police are meaner than shit and treat people like shit - I didn't mean to upset you. In my limited experience at life, I know for a fact that if some people see a weakness in you, instead of helping, they will kick you down further. I think this may be connected to the opening post's question, if you disagree, that is fine.

It's all around us: The 'I got mine and fuck you crowd', the people that think if you aren't wealthy you are lazy and stupid and deserve any misery you get. The people who were born on base just by luck of heritage and which country think they 'earned' their privilege. It's all around us. We are good and we are evil and the opening post question: I think it a combo - if you go in as a decent person into law enforcement you get changed by what you see (you have to harden yourself much like ER staff and their black humor and their reasons for that) and if you like to lord it over people and thump your chest, that is the perfect job.
