Four Months as a Private Prison Guard -- Part One

submitted by Warren E. Hale

"I started applying for jobs in private prisons because I wanted to see the inner workings of an industry that holds 131,000 of the nation's 1.6 million prisoners. As a journalist, it's nearly impossible to get an unconstrained look inside our penal system. When prisons do let reporters in, it's usually for carefully managed tours and monitored interviews with inmates. Private prisons are especially secretive. Their records often aren't subject to public access laws; CCA has fought to defeat legislation that would make private prisons subject to the same disclosure rules as their public counterparts. And even if I could get uncensored information from private prison inmates, how would I verify their claims? I keep coming back to this question: Is there any other way to see what really happens inside a private prison?" -- Shane Bauer

Bet he signed something that's going to let him see life on the other side of the bars...

This writing annoys the hell out of me. I even bothered to read the written article, and it was actually worse.
I'm glad this kind of thing is getting more exposure, but the presentation has the quality of tabloid-material; it actually caused me to question the validity of the whole thing.

Um... *promote the cause, I guess?

No probably not. It is very rare for jobs to have NDAs other than for very specific things. If a job tried for a complete NDA like "You can't talk about anything at all you do or see ever," it would likely get quashed by a court.
