“How Guards Play the Retribution Game in Florida Prisons”: Fred Grimm February 2, 2015

at the Miami Herald:

Shawn “Jiggaman” Rogers must have seemed the perfect instrument for bloody retribution.

Vicious, violent, angry, racist, known for his prison gang affiliations, known for his brutal attacks on other inmates, known to rape other prisoners, known for bragging about his status as a lifer with nothing to lose, Jiggaman, at 6-4 and 210 pounds, embodied all the attributes needed to fix a skinny, troublesome white punk like Ricky Martin.

Martin, 24, a petty criminal near the end of his six-year-stretch, had had the temerity to complain to prison officials that guards were running an illicit fight club in the chow hall.

How do officers deal with a rat?

the answer will not surprise you. Sts Processus and Martinian, patrons of prison guards, pray for them all.
