Doing job vs destruction of innocence and someone who is helpless. Hatred towards guards not uniform thus no justi cation for harm. Guards are useful to inmates for utilitarian purposes. Favours (guards decide if you get into programs and bene ts so you want to be their friend) Guards gain respect from inmates because they are fair. Guards can look the other way - not enforce smaller rules (discretion) Build up of security and trust through interaction (parent-child relationship) National guard red and killed one inmate against orders (told to shoot above the head) Inmates demanded the head of one guard . Least popular guard selected out of many (guard was saved by national guard) Legal - murder charge, denial of parole, transfer (shu - isolated 23h a day) Forced to run a gauntlet and beaten with batons at arrival to millhaven. Guard poops in sandwich (archambault riot - 1982) Reward - riots are short and guards remember.
