If someone killed your mother or your son or daughter and was convicted and put in prison for it, how sad are you that the guard is a dick to that person? Be honest, doesn't it make you a little happy to know that the guy isn't having a great time there? Or is all that matter is that he's in jail and you prefer that everyone there is as nice as they can be to them?

The Stanford Prison Experiment is a great study.
A friend of mine was shot and killed when we were in high school. I still prefer jailhouse justice take care of him then the prison guards being dicks just because they can.
What's that saying?
Absolute power corrupts absolutely.
