   Of course you didn't.  Any work that an inmate can do in the   
   institution, we are going to let an inmate do, whether it be easy or   
   hard.  Since manual labor is something an inmate can nearly always do,   
   it's the inmates that end up doing it.  My point is merely that some   
   (although, God knows, not all) CO's work a lot harder than you think.
