Congratulations on your stoic decision to become a prison guard. I am sure you will show them how it's done!

That's an incredibly lazy, facetious reply.

The character of individual prison guards is hardly the major factor here. It's not some statistical anomaly that American prisons are such awful, expensive, ineffective, and cruel places.

What's wrong is institutional and requires political action.

This is not exactly a constructive comment, sorry to mention it but you seem to be new around here. Do you have a counter argument to give?
