They’re generally pieces of shit, and you’re right that current treatment is unacceptable, but they’re intentionally not given the tools to properly handle prisoners by the state. I don’t blame them for striking here. Honestly they should have gone on strike a long time ago.
There are reasonable demands they could make. Better mental health care for inmates. Fix the staffing shortage by offering better compensation for new hires. Etc.
So I don’t blame them for striking.
But torture isn’t a tool to properly handle prisoners. And I absolutely blame them for making torture one of their demands.
