Teenage Mutant Ninja Deputies

Some of the deputies (jail guards) seem to think they are still in high school, where being "cool" requires them to harass the class "nerd" in front of their friends. Except instead of a nerd it is now a "child killer" that they feel compelled to taunt in order to impress each other. I have been called names, had my food mashed, denied toilet paper, frequently startled awake at night, and even farted on! (How childish is that?) All by jail deputies here in California, who are paid $25-$30 per hour with excellent benefits to perpetrate their little high school pranks. You would think with that kind of money they could find better ways to impress each other. Most of the deputies are genuinely cool though. That is, they don't feel any need to prove their "coolness" (i.e. they act like adults). As for the adolescents; they are a nuisance, but by being so they make themselves insignificant.
