Let me start off by saying the guards in the county jail suck, but the guards in prison are way worse.In county jail, the guards can only put their hands on you for two reasons: one for fighting, and two, if you try to escape. But in prison the guards can put their hands on you just because you looked at them wrong.
It seems like the guards in prison are supposed to be in a bad mood 24/7. It doesn’t even matter if you’re doing what you’re supposed to do – they still yell at you for something anyway.
And another thing – I haven’t heard a guard speak yet without cursing. It’s always “F this” and “F that”, and “you stupid whiteboy M&%$# Fer”.
I still don’t understand why they keep calling me a whiteboy like it’s a bad thing. The thing that doesn’t make the most sense is the guards calling me a whiteboy are WHITE!
Well that’s a prison guard in a nutshell.
