The guards have treated the inmates like animals for far too long. Google all the times that inmates have tried Peacefully asking the doc to correct this. All the lawsuits filed. The grievances. The complaints to the legislatures. The cries of help to the DA. No one will help them. So they will take matters into their own hands. Deny them a voice and you will be met with force!

I think it’s the other way around.If they treated the inmates visitors,families with kids that comes from other states,parents,wives and friends with RESPECT,this would not be happening.Every visitor have their background checked,so there’s no reason to treat their visitors like shit.
