This is abhorrent! The prisoners are paying their debts to society for crimes they have been accused of committing but our legal system should not be committing crimes against the prisoners while they are incarcerated. All Americans, even incarcerated criminals should be afforded human rights. We will continue to spend an extreme amount of money on criminal institutions as long as we do not try to rehabilitate the prisoners that are serving sentences for offences due to substance abuse and lack of education. The guards should be evaluated prior to hiring and tested for psychological tendencies of violence and bullying due to unresolved issues in their past history. There seems to be so many guards that have unresolved issues and a desire for control. The positions as guards provide them an avenue to act out on their character defects without penalty. This system is so broken throughout the United States. It's a sad state of affairs that we do not have a better solution for rehabilitation during incarceration.
