Guards are the only law they have and I know I for one couldn't do that job; they don't have one guard/one prisoner ratios anywhere that I ever heard of and while we are certainly lightyears removed from the 'Turkish prison' mentality, to think for a minute that there's democracy at work inside is altruistic. Democracy ends when the gavel comes down for the one it came down for.

I apologize, I read too much into your words.
My response is that they
shouldn't be fair game, we should have a better incarceration system than that. I'm not talking a 1:1 ratio of guards to prisoners, just enough guards to keep groups of prisoners under control. But perhaps I have a fair amount of ignorance in regards to the logistics of such a goal. *shrug*
