Most people fail to understand the psychological impact of jobs continually interfacing with some of the worst people in society. I say this not as an apology or excuse, but simply as a statement of fact and a challenge that needs to be overcome. It happens to prison guards, Police, EMTs, and many others.

A portion of the people you work with want to kill you or each other given the chance. Over time this leads you to dehumanize and hate them. Over time, this view gets generalized to most of the people in your care.

It is more about power then about working with bad people.

Political prisoners tend to be treated as badly as others, if not worst.

I agree that power is a factor, I just don't think it is a self contained explanation.

People in position oc control and no supervision abuse those outside of prisons often enough.
