The exodus of corrections officers from federal prisons to ICE comes amid shortages of critical supplies, from food to personal hygiene items, for both staff and inmates.
It threatens to make the already grim conditions in these prisons even worse.

@ProPublica Unbelievable.
Hard for a prison guard to say no to ICE, when it would double or triple their salary.
Like a radioactive bomb, Trump's maladministration will leave a trail of enduring destruction behind it. When it comes time to clean it up, one wheelbarrow at a time, Republicans are sure to blame Democrats for the cost.

@briankrebs
the people involved probably wouldn't last a day in real combat, but can't resist wearing a mask, terrorizing people, breaking windows, shooting folks...all not only with impunity but with approval and encouragement.
All casually like it's a RPG.
@ProPublica Americans getting a first-hand look at the deplorable behavior of prison guards, might actually result in meaningful reform....(Forgive me...watch the @PBS documentary on FDR and it's making me more optimistic than usual)
@ProPublica I'm not sure which group is worse ICE or CO's.
@ProPublica If you'd met any of these defectors in recent times, you'd understand what's going on. Thug city.
@ProPublica Does anyone think COs will differentiate between inmates and lawfully protesting citizens? COs are the dregs of law enforcement, too stupid or too many convictions to pass the already low LE bars. These guys are basically Neanderthals with guns.
