Shows that a private prison is a absolutely fucking bad idea.

Oh,how should we have known that.

While I agree that private prisons are horrible, I can’t see how this would have changed anything had it been a public prison. This also happened 3 years after he left that job as a prison officer.

He resigned because he was threatened while still on the job.

Generally speaking the police (and in some countries the prison system is a de facto separate police) deals far better with it’s members being threatened,especially as their self perception is different and their managements goal is not to make a fucking profit first.
