Guard Bares Futile Efforts To Rehabilitate Prisoners
Baltimore corrections officer Sgt. Eric D. Swinn describes the prison system as underfunded and understaffed. He argues rehabilitation is limited by resources and staffing while detailing contraband found in Maryland Penitentiary and his push for reforms. He notes that education helps but lacks a complete solution and says current programs fail to address core problems in the inner city. He also recalls his own career shift from Buckingham Palace guards to American corrections.
