Yorick, my point with the "abuses" is that even if the guards are forced to use force to detain an inmate, the inmate will scream about abuse, despite the fact that the inmate threw the piss. If I took every affadavit an inmate ever filled out about abuse, I'd be feeling really gullible, knowing what I know about life on the inside. Until you've been there, you've really got no idea.
About the 4th year I was in, there was a riot in the institution I was in, over working conditions at the medium security facility. The problem? Inmates housed at the medium were expected to work. However, to hear them tell it, it was the worst kind of torture. Pardon my skepticism about taking an inmate's word from any prison. I've never said if these guys are doing it, it's ok. What I said was that we bothered to actually take prisoners, and whatever the truth may be, it's not going to be on an officially released video, showing how we treat prisoners, unlike what's done over there.
