We have invited the author of the email to write a more detailed piece identifying the official offenders and elaborating on the MANY legal abuses by the prison guards.
"Nowhere [on your website] do I see anything on illegal gambling done by the [prison] staff. I know of several different cases in one prison alone.
"On Sundays, there would be (on the average) two $400.00 pools on the Nascar races. On paydays there was a complete staff check-pool and once a month they had a 50/50 drawing for [the staff] picnic. [On the picnic,] the inmates did most of the work and most of the food [was stolen] from the inmates' food locker.
"This doesn't count the food items that the staff carried home. It also doesn't count the major [of the guard] who slipped on the ice and broke his hip while he was pumping [state] gas into his personal car at 10 PM.
"Or, the guard who got caught growing and bringing drugs into the prison. Two months later, [he] was working at another prison, at least according to other guards.
"There was one guard that used to say [that] when they brought the drug dogs in [to search the prison], if they really wanted to find drugs, then they should go to the guards' dressing room. But, that never happened."
