Prison ain't like in the movies. The only people the captain could be sadistic toward would be the employees. Convict abuse is not tolerated.

I get it.So then it's Fiction that in the late 40's into
the 50's Big city Police Departments never allowed use of
Heavy thick Telephone directory.Smacking a known con in
head { leaves no marks } until they fess-up.Usually when
investigating a Murder.

I wasn't around then. All I'm saying it's not like that now. There are things we can do however to put them in there place.

Gee I dunno.Like having watched many Prison flicks I doubt
many if Any had hero's as guards.In fact,that is the model.
Sometimes an Inmate can be a Hero like " Brooks "
played to perfection by James Whitmore in :
Shawshank Redemption.
Then there's the one from the late 40's { 1947 }
with Little Hume Cronyn { His baddest heavy role }
as a sadistic Prison captain who delights in acting
tough.Oh! the Movie is :
- Brute Force -
With quality cast including Burt Lancaster and Charles
Bickford.In the 5o's Bickford was blacklisted by the HUAC
House Unamerican Activities Committee.He slowly
made a comeback starting with - Days of Wine and Roses - { 1962 }
and then the Series - The Virginian -.As head Patriarch.

You realize getting your info and opinions on prison from movies is stupid af?

Yes there are crooked CO’s who shouldn’t be working there.

But those inmates aren’t no angels. This is prison, not the county lock up.

They didn’t get sentenced to prison for selling too many bibles

 

[braalian]

Not so. They get fired.

Well yes, eventually.

There are some CO’s who shouldn’t be working. Like any field.

So Danny,the Prison flick - Escape at Dannemora - {2018 }
Ain't current enough.Or accurate Prison life .
I guess some knuckleheads sit around stewing where's
Clark Kent.Or maybe Harry Potter.
Forget Stephen King.
