      She's been potted in Jail. Let me tell you something: no governor gets potted in jail unless they're an absolute bully that mistreats people. I don't think you could possibly imagine the beat down you're about to get if you do that to a governor in prison. Trust me, I've spent many years behind the door and been in 21 different prisons. I'd bet you my last pound this woman is an abuser who has mistreated inmates. Anyone who's been behind the door understands this. BTW, being potted means having a bucket of excrement and urine thrown over your head. Good officers are respected by inmates because they are few and far between. So many officers are psycopathic, narcissist, cluster B types who beat, humiliate and abuse their positions and often mistreat the most vulnerable mentally ill inmates.

    What she said about evil was a terrifyingly salient point. Despite all the factors that can contribute to a person's morality (external and internal) evil is ultimately a choice, you _choose_ to do it. It's a sobering realization that when we're desperately looking for a explanation for why an individual did something appalling - often under the misguided attempt to convince ourselves that "normal people don't do such things" - we are in reality ALL capable of doing evil. A moral framework is a hair's breadth away from carnage and cruelty.

      Well yes, are you better off coming to terms with your dark impulses and not doing them or lying to yourself you don't have them and not being able to deal with them when circumstances tip you over the edge or many other psychological bumps in the road? Even psychopaths have the ability to intellectually make choices to do right or wrong. Of course you wouldn't hear about those that don't seriously break the law because even if they know they're usually not going to announce the fact they're psychopaths.

      I'm 66now and time in prison and borstal destroyed me mentally. I have self harmed since I was 17. I couldn't cope after being with my nan for the weekend and she died while I was reading the Sunday paper letter page to her. I had 2friends at school and one died a week or so later. I now have 3adult children and a 6year old grandson. Since I left prison for the 3rd time I lost my baby with a heart defect,my brother died and I had breast cancer twice. I can't cope. So many awful things have happened since recently.

      And my daughter just out of an abusive relationship after years. Lots going on around it still. His family stick up for him because they believe his lies. He posted naked photos of my daughter online and she woke to him under the sheets taking photos or videos of her naked body. I'm so angry.

    I was in a prison in Norway for 3 months or so as a so called "civilian worker" as I decided I had enough of being called into military service for a week every year. Anyway in those 3 months lots of things happened, I learnt a few things about humans and how they can behave. In terms of working in a prison I observed that the prisoners of course mostly were miserable, negative and depressed, but so were the guards. So I could never have worked in a prison, well not unless it was one of my last options as a job. It's a depressive environment.
