You are correct there. It is a major reason why cops are truly scared about ending up in prison. They put other people there. And might be why there is a reluctance to find police officers guilty.

I understand this in a broader view. Roy starts out telling Lorraine he likes it there because in prison, there is the kind of sorting out where groups form and the stronger ones can rule over the weak ones. Lorraine turns that on him by letting him know he isn't the strongest one. She is. A woman! She is going to make sure he feels the Fear, Pain, Shame that he has meted out to women in his life. The worst thing a man like Roy Tillman can feel is being treated like he treated the women in his life.

And remember, he.was a powerful County Sheriff with over the top powers that made his constituents fear him. I'm thinking of the scene where he is taking Dot out of the hospital and the woman at the desk was truly afraid of him because he knew something about her and her loved ones that he was holding over her.
