So Hep c is not dangerous??
If my teenage son gets sent to pison then I will tell him not to spit on an officer, but if he is going to prison does he actually listen to his father?
I feel for family member of inmates, The things they go thru just for a few hours visit. However, the little Johnny portrayed to Mom and Dad is a different Little Johnny once out of their sight. I have first hand experience of inmates talking that the only reason for going to visitation is for the beef jerkey out of the machine.
I have seen women come from all over the US and other countries to visit an inmate and we would have to turn his wife and kids away because they are only allowed one visitor per day. Most inmates play the love game and prey on women in letters. The number one magazine delivered in prison is Cosmo cause they want to know what women want to hear.
What I am saying is the public has no idea what prison is like, I can tell you officer brutallity is not rampant.
Most people in prison are there for a reason, how they act in the facility will dictate treatment. You my friend have no idea what actions this individual did prior to spitting. By your words you must have a loved one in prison, I am truly sorry for you. But if he is in for petty things then he would be in trustee camp or G1 areas. If not then he is not that innocent because G3-5 and J1-3 are idiots and want to kill officers on a daily basis.

For me, this is isn't about what he is or is not guilty of. It is simply because he spat in the guards face. Right or wrong, that particular action brings out the worst of reactions. Therefore the prisoner knew what he was doing.
Obviously, you cannot condone prison beatings and the like - that is abuse of power and the guard has to face the consequences. However, he should not be pilloried for his actions. I would be prepared to risk a wager on the guard in question reacting differently if he had been faced with violence instead of being spat at in the face.

No where did I say this guy deserved to get beaten I said there are 2 sides to the story. The officer's get investigated any time there is a use of force no matter how minor.
any and all consequences.

I never had to beat an inmate ( the guards actions were not justified) most altercations last only a few seconds.
The first thing we were taught if you can walk away then walk away.
