I put in my two weeks today

I feel really depressed. My job has made me severely depressed. I'm a nurse and I work for a prison. They have a male and female prison and I go to both and both are very trash. I have been told by my boss that I have too much empathy. I don't think I do. I have no sympathy for rapist/serial killers/ pedos or people who hurt children. But most of the people there didn't do that. And how they are treated is disgusting. I know people think don't want the time don't do the crime but there is just basic human decency. Trigger warning to abuse and sexual assault. There are two specific situations that led to me quitting. First one is a woman who was pregnant and she had her baby. Baby was taken by dad ect. Ect. She came back to prison two days postpartum. She wasn't allowed to have anything to help her heal down there besides a pad. Nothing. And this woman's crime was identity left. Bad but not something worth treating someone like they are subhuman. I also watched a CO slam her to the ground 5 DAYS POSTPARTUM because she didn't make it back to her cell fast enough. Just disgusting. The second situation involved the male prison. Sexual assaults in both male and female prisons are a really bad problem. Worst part is a lot of times CO's participate. I've seen it in the women's prisons. I had a male inmate who had clearly been severely sexually assaulted. It was so bad that I requested he be sent to an actual hospital because I was worried about internal bleeding and I was told these exact words "Unfortunately sexual assault happens here. We try to stop it but it doesn't. It's a part of being in prison. We can't send every person to the hospital because of that. This is just another reason people need to learn to stay out of prison." This inmate was 19 btw and here for smuggling drugs. This wasn't one of those pedophiles that some inmates seek vengeance on. This is a kid who made some mistakes. Why are we treating them like this? Between him and that pregnant women and also other things I hate I quit. Maybe my boss is right and I'm too empathetic for this job. In thinking about going and working in a school or something where my empathy is appreciated. Just really needed to vent a little about my job. It all just makes me sad.. 😢
