Movie trope about police officers choosing prison locations for criminals

[Lambsilencer]

Hi there

I joined this board because a question keeps nagging on me for quite some time.

I know movies are not reality, but I still wonder how much of it is real. In TV shows and movies, police and federal agents often threat suspects with "sending them to the worst prison imaginable", or, even worse, send them to a prison block where they won't survive twelve hours if they don't cooperate.

So, my questions: Can the police actually decide to put someone in a specific prison, prison block, solitary etc. to put extra pressure on cooperating, or to simply enact some personal punishment or revenge? And what would happen to a police officer or FBI agent if he deliberately sent someone to a prison block where he or she knew or must strongly suspect the person would be attacked or killed, and then the person actually ends up severely injured or dead?

I'm curious to know from a legal standpoint here. So thanks for any answers in advance.

Your question is not a legal one and it's silly anyway. I suggest you try Google.

That depends on the specifics. We do not deal in fictitious generalities.

I've not been that bored.

So, you think police/agents decide where a prisoner is sent?

Less tv, more non-fiction books for you. You don't know how your government works!

I'm bored enough: Google 1983.

Best.
