Ex-Con Explains the Corruption of Prison Guards
โThe justice system doesnโt make sense sometimes.โ
The corruption of prison guards and institutional racism within the criminal justice system is a problem in many parts of the world. In this episode of Informers, an ex-convict in the UK tells us about his experiences in prison โ where he witnessed drones dropping off ten ounces of weed, widespread corruption, extreme violence and what he describes as โslave labourโ. We contacted Her Majesty’s Prison Service for a response to the allegations. As of October 2020, VICE is yet to receive a reply โ but will update here if we do.ย
