    There are reasonable demands they could make. Better mental health care for inmates. Fix the staffing shortage by offering better compensation for new hires. Etc.

    So I don’t blame them for striking.

    But torture isn’t a tool to properly handle prisoners. And I absolutely blame them for making torture one of their demands.
