Have you found it difficult to not view every inmate as human garbage? I ask because I used to work at a halfway house and I went in with the attitude that I would be different. I wasn't going to be a stereotype of a CO who treats people like dirt. I was going to make a difference. Well, after dealing with those people for about a month, that changed. I didn't become some sadistic bastard or anything but I definitely started seeing everyone in there as scum and I quickly stopped giving a crap about them or their futures because of how many times I was metaphorically stabbed in the back by just a few of them.
