The conditions of U.S. prisons are awful..I have a personal account as a past employee of an Alabama facility of how understaffed, overcrowed, and filthy prisons are. Officials want to say the average ratio for officer to inmate is 10 to 1, this is not true! It’s sad to say but it’s going to be more violence against officers due to the inhumane treatment of inmates, ridiculous amounts of drugs that make it into the prisons, just to name a few! Governors/Commissioners/Administration must stop sitting idly by making top figure salaries and the prison system is in ruin. A new prison reform needs to be implemented soon!

They see it but are willing to risk peoples lives to save a buck.All prisons are a big powder keg the public is also as willing to turn a blind eye to things that don’t immediately affect them but people are leaving in droves they cant hire fast enough to replace them so they just hire anything because most people are not willing to risk their lives for 14 dollars an hour. Soon the blind eye will have to look when things explode.

I wonder if the powers that be are paying attention to what’s happening in the prison system? A blind man could see what’s happening but I’m not sure about the politicians.
