Becoming a Prison Officer

It's a tough task, an unreliable time, rare contact with the outside world, and a less salary plan. So, why do some people want to be a prison officer? I was asked to put the coat and parcel in a small cloakroom, then I was taken to a small room, a pocket was searched, and my body was cleaned. I felt this "program" very uncomfortable, but I am very fortunate that these strict checks are not done everyday.

Okperuvwe has discovered a phenomenon that is obvious to prisoners, their families and corrections: since 2008 a wave of immigrants in Africa has served as a prison guard in Texas. The exact number is unknown - the Texas Prison Office did not keep track of the birthplace of its employees - but the prisoners and remedies have rumored that they are hundreds of them. Many people come from Nigeria, others come from Cameroon, Liberia, Uganda and Sierra Leone. In 2009, the newsletter "Prison Law News" reported that the entire shift consists "primarily of Nigerian people" in the Ramsey area near Houston.

Stanford Prison Experiment is a study of the psychological impact of being a prisoner or a prison guard. The experiment was conducted by a group of researchers led by Philip Zimbardo, Professor of Psychology at Stanford University from August 14th to 20th, 1971. It is funded by the US Naval Research Bureau and the US Navy Marine Corps is interested in finding the cause of the conflict between military police and prisoners. From 75 to 24 students played prisoners in the basement of Stanford University psychology building and lived in simulated prison. Roles are randomly assigned. Participants directed the officers to adapt to their role far beyond Zimbabwe's expectation, to show authoritarian measures and ultimately to torture some prisoners.
