Do they have qualified immunity?
M was really good at explaining to guards. That she was going to go after them personally and take their house. She explained to them about the laws concerning prisoner abuse and how guards can be sued personally.
Yes they hated her. And they were very scared of her. And she was treated well.
She also knew the magic medical words to say whenever she wanted anything. But that was usually because a prisoner wasn't getting medical care they needed and she's always the advocate. So they usually forgave her after she was proven right.
The jailers hate the jailhouse lawyers the most. We had one in our cell block. When he showed up he had bags and bags of stuff. He walked with a cane. I think he was the only person in the jail allowed a cane since they are deemed a weapon. He had long johns. We were all freezing and would kill for long johns. He got the jailers to give him them.
The jailers would control or punish us by varying the temperature. The jailhouse lawyer would whine: It's too cold, which it was, so the jailers would raise it to around 95° to roast us. Any complaint by this guy would result in some type of mass punishment to attempt to get us to turn on him. And he could be an a****** to anybody, not just the jailers.
So anyway, yes, I agree, no good will come of this.
