When prisoners die due to abuse or neglect post trauma etc in these situations, what always confuses me is that the staff don’t check on them purely from a risk mitigation/self preservation perspective.

Like, even if you’re a screw who hates a prisoner and subjecting them to harm makes your day, you still -personally- don’t want to get in the shit if something goes wrong? Doesn’t just avoiding someone dying happening on your watch motivate you to make sure they don’t?
