Sorry - I have an archive of news stories to make comment about and I've only just gotten to this one...
Here's a tip... If you don't like the idea of being strip-searched nor run the risk of having the snot beaten out of you (by a woman, yet) - then DON'T do shit that is liable to land you in prison. I don't know how much clearer a concept that could be.Graphic video of prison assault sparks sacking call

AT least three prison officers involved in the alleged savage assault of a remand inmate should be sacked, the state watchdog has said.
Graphic footage of prison officers allegedly assaulting the inmate was tabled in State Parliament by State Ombudsman George Brouwer today.
At least three Melbourne Custody Centre (MCC) staff may be charged over the incident.
Victoria Police is investigating what Mr Brouwer described as "serious mistreatment involving an excessive use of force" against the prisoner.

It shows a seemingly compliant prisoner in the early stages of being strip searched.
One MCC staff member lunged at the prisoner and grabbed him around the throat as a second officer helped wrestle him to the ground.
Several other officers entered the room seconds later and a female officer allegedly punched the already restrained prisoner.

Everyone knows that prison isn't a fun place to be - so why do things that will put you there - STUPID??!!

Now, now, Jai, you know that prisoners have rights too. Especially criminal prisoners.
Of course, there are no truly guilty criminals anyway - they are merely victims of their circumstances.
