Men-as-vigilant guards, is a strange idea as a 'man' is expected to watch over another.

 

So, if one person can be corrupt why should the guarding personnel be any different?

​

But again having aligned with the authority, a guard is no more a simple gullible individual. Instead he is now the last extension of the authority.

Someone more in the center of the panoptican than in the peripheral prison-cells.
