Affirmative Action guards?
Taken from the ranks of the recently released?
“Affirmative action guards?” Well if the prison guards are like nearly every other public sector employee in Georgia, then yeah!
They can’ t shut down the cellphone service in prison, but they had no problem shitting it down at the Malhuer wildlife refuge!
