My mom was telling me how guards in Riker's Island were making inmates fight other inmates in this "secret society". They would pay the inmates with cigarettes, clothes, phone privileges, and more. They called the fight club The Program. Anyone who refused to participate would be beat up. All the participating inmates were young, most of them 18. The sad part is that all this was brought up after 18 year old Christopher Robinson was beaten to death for refusing to participate. He was murdered by suspected 18 year old inmates told to do so by these 3 guards (1 woman, 2 men). The guards plead not guilty and they're in custody now. This is disgusting. The United States needs some serious fucking help. You know a lot of people in jail are there for non-violent crimes, like robbery or drugs. Then they go in and are subjected to violence. It's so fucking sad. These guards cannot get away with this. R.I.P Christopher. Damn I'm so tired of having to say that.
