I worked for the California state system, starting as a Correctional Officer and retiring as a Lieutenant in 2005. I now write for the PacoVilla blog which is concerned with what could broadly be called The Correctional System.
There are a great many people in the world I do not like. Since it is illegal to shoot them for being unlikable I just have to avoid them as much as I can.
That is not a question. It is an assertion.
Depends. When I was a C/O I carried a radio (usually) and alarm (usually), handcuffs, glove pouch, and a baton of one sort of other. Also normally a double key pouch (usually a semi-auto magazine holder) for holding keys. When I was a Sgt. and Lt. the radio became normal, the alarm less so (the alarms are area specific and supervisors usually moved around more). Often the baton went away too, depending on what assignment I was on. When I was the patrol sgt. on very rare occasions I carried a .38 revolver.
Yes. Colt 1917 cut down to round butt and 3" barrel.

Can a novelist achieve huge success through self-publishing?
Not usually. Inmates have to eat the food. Somebody would snitch. Somebody would get thumped.
I strongly suspect that is part of the basic human condition. You want to believe you are right and you want validation.
Beats the crap out of me.
