I believe we have a lot of these people in politics, banking and even religious organizations. They are the successful psychopaths who manage to evade the prison system.

It's magnitude is unfathomable. I get why so many choose sleep.
What if the judge, the cop, the prison guard, are psychopaths? How would you cope if you're the suspect, the prisoner, etc?
Many of them are psychopaths. No one cares how prisoners cope, despite the fact that over 1% of Americans are prisoners. Over 95% of criminal charges result in conviction, and over 95% of those convictions are a result of plea bargains. Evidence from DNA investigations of crimes in which DNA was possible to use, have shown that up to 25% of prisoners are innocent of the charges of which they were convicted. There are many reasons why people accept plea bargains, including to protect others.
Most people think of prisoners as scum. At least a quarter of prisoners are heroes, because they are protecting someone else, and accepting imprisonment as a result.
Prisoners are over represented by psychopaths also, and psychopaths recognize the traits in others that they know set themselves apart. Many psychopaths who are in prison are snitches, or hit men, who are used by psychopaths to cover up the many, many crimes committed against prisoners.
Prisoners can't go to the media. They can't use the phone. They can't write a letter, or vote with their feet. All of those actions require the permission of their captors.
They are slaves. That is not an exaggeration. All prisoners in America are forced to work for wages as low as $1/day. Much of this work is contracted out to private companies.
You are probably aware that there are a lot of ways to keep free people from blowing the whistle on criminal acts and organizations. Consider how easy it is to commit crimes and prevent slaves kept in cages from telling your secrets.
Prisoners either go along, or die. If they tell the truth about these crimes, no one will believe them anyway. Those few examples of prisoners getting truth out, such as the woman who was kept as a sex slave by a guard that gave her syphilis, are so rare as to be comparable to unicorns.
Even after prisoners are released, they are subject to much of the same power, even to the extent of being forced into slavery, sexual and otherwise.
When you think of vulnerable populations, know that there is no population more vulnerable than prisoners.
I suppose try to stay one step ahead of them and do my research.
What do you mean..."IF"....:)
It's surreal how deep it goes....
