God, this photo. It always makes me think someone attached the wrong size face.
I’ll offer another potential reason why this poor guy is shaved; if he’s got a condition that needs a topical cream or medicated shampoo or similar, then this guarantees the stuff gets right to the skin, where it’s needed. His skin looks fine, but you never can tell with fleas. * tiny rimshot *
I mean, he is wrong about there not being things in place to protect prisoners, but he’s not wrong that it’s still dangerous and the conditions aren’t great. Guards have killed inmates before with no real consequences.
