"If I hear so much as a mouse fart in here the rest of the night I swear by God and sonny Jesus you will all visit the infirmary. Every last motherfucker in here."
"TUB OF SHIT TO THE INFIRMARY!"

Head guard Byron Hadley
abuses his power through coercive measures, beating and killing prisoners and
running the prison through fear and intimidation. At the beginning of the movie the guards brought "fresh fish" into the prison. The prior inmates called them by this name to see how long they could hang in the prison atmosphere. Not long after being in the prison one of those "fresh fish" broke down after being provoked by the veteran inmates. As shown in the video the guards showed no common courtesy to this man. They beat him causing the mans brain to swell and killing him. Being a guard at a prison you are limited to things you can and cannot do, and beating this man til he died was uncalled for. This showed just how much power these guards have over the inmates. This makes me think highly about generalization principle to moral behavior? Is this what the guards would do if any of the other inmates was scared, cried and wanting their mommy? I would strongly have to say YES! These heartless guards take their power a little overboard. They should have learned what is right and wrong in the training that is required to be a prison guard.
