Curious about the American Prison system? I work at a county jail in Kansas City. I also hold a bachelors degree in Crime and Delinquency Studies. I took this job three and a half years ago to get some experience I needed to pursue related fields. Fire away with your questions.

Hi, by the way and welcome to the forum ....
From an Aussie who doesn't know a lot about your field, my first question would be: are they privatized?
Do "tenants" have the right to religious prayer time?

Welcome aboard.

In your opinion to what extent did the female officer assist the two in NY escape?

Based on your experience how often to officer/inmate interactions cross the line?

Is prison rape really all that common?

Is it fun in prison -I always wondered- ?

Is it like in the movies, that you end becoming best friends with a few people and then escape and go live on a beach somewhere?

And is there a bonus if they're black .. provided you brutalize them first?







Sorry if that was rude, no personal attack intended.  And welcome.
