Jail is not like what you see in the movies.
Most criminal defendants find that jail is just a complete dehumanization of the human spirit. It’s about the government (though its jailers / guards / detention officers) complete control over a person.
Jails, focused on security, commonly treat all prisoners as potential threats. They expect immediate and full control over a prisoner’s actions.
The following video, taken from the Albuquerque Metropolitan Detention Center, apparently shows male guards touching and showing physical domination over a female inmate.
