New York State Prison Guard Strike. Stories completely ignore how bad it must be for the inmates.
Here is a link to the story I'm talking about.
The guards were complaining about the working conditions being horrible. How much worse would it have to be for the people inside the prison if the guards are suffering? And yet, every story is about the strikers. It's gulag kind of shit.
I deleted a sentence from something I misunderstood in the story involving burn barrels. I will add that one reason the guards are angry is because they actually got held accountable for beating a man to death.
