Other than simply being an a****** and torturing for the sake of torturing, is there any goal involved here?
I bet the guards believe that prisoners who lack sleep will also lack the ability to coherently resist orders and are more malleable. These guys are dazed and confused most of the time.
There is always the guy that is so dazed confused that he'll snap and that will trigger a mass response of the guards. They don't care. That's part of the job and they blame the person that snapped.
Let me try to explain to you what happens when someone snaps in jail.
There's typically a delay of 2 to 3 minutes between the point of someone loudly, threatening violence or engaging in violence, at least in the jail I was in.
At that point you all have guards crowding at that door, but they don't come in for another moment until they get the order. They do not come in one at a time and they do not take a chance. They stage themselves with a large group, at least five but up to 15 to 20 of guards and then they rush.
When they filter through a choke point of beds or doors, it's like a clown car as one guard after another emerges. They will often precede it with a hit of pepper spray but not necessarily.
It's a rare occurrence. The prisoners know they don't stand a chance. So it really takes someone to snap and be stupid.
I saw it about once a week for 2 months. The same guy for three times. A prisoner stunk. Smelled like he bathed in his own shit. He refused to shower. The prisoners complained but nothing happened.
Remember we are 50 guys in a tight space. So the prisoners took it upon themselves to throw this guy in the shower and hose him down. He of course freaked out.
Here come the guards.
Good times!
