I only good thing that comes out with articles like this, is that inmates take a dim view of things like this, and the first chance an inmate gets, they will take there chance, and give them a good hiding, its called ' public justice ' and is welcomed by the public.

Until they realise the prisoner on the receiving end will sue and to avoid this normally gets a couple of grand to drop the case.

not sure about "welcomed by the public" we know it happens but are prepared to let it go because it doesn't threaten the general public while they are locked up ,it's when they are released with the same vigilante attitude that the problems start
