I am curious; why should it be the guards' duty to help the prisoner with his personal needs? Why can't prisoner-trustees be assigned to assist Goodman? Guards are supposed to guard the prisoners; they are not trained to be personal care assistants. It seems there are plenty of prisoners available for training and serving thru all shifts.In Goodman's case, his paraplegia often meant that he would spend day and night hours in his wheelchair in his 3-foot-wide cell, sometimes sitting in his own waste because guards were unwilling to assist him.
