80: Are You a Hunter or Are You Prey?
Description
A prison is a place of violence. Pretty quickly, as they begin their sentence inside, other inmates categorize each other as Predator or Prey. As a Hunter or the Hunted. Their role is determined by whether or not they have the strength to stand up against the other inmates. Will they run and hide in their cell, or will they stand and fight? Will they be abused, or will they be the abuser? Lion or antelope is the choice most have in a violent system.
Staff are often looked at the same way. Are you the Hunter or are you the Prey. Success for the prey is measured by just living another day. "Eight and the gate." But a lack of respect for the other predators makes you unaware, unprepared, and nothing more than a person to be used and manipulated.
Success for the Hunter is a successful hunt. An officer who is a Hunter is respected for their skills and their abilities. Remember, most of the time a lion lives alongside the antelope. The antelope keep a respectful distance but they are not living in constant fear of the lion. The lion has nothing to prove, he knows he is King. He knows he is an apex predator, and walks comfortably in his surroundings, not unaware, but comfortable with his skills.
