Disambiguation, corrected alphabetizing

* KickTheSonOfABitch:[[spoiler: Big Boo makes sure she has a miserable time after finding out who she really is.

* LackOfEmpathy: As far as he's concerned, the fact that detainees entered the country illegally means they don't deserve any mercy or compassion, not even if they're kids who had no say in it.




to:

* WouldHurtAChild: He has no issue detaining and treating kids the way he does adults and isn't any more sympathetic to them.

Added DiffLines:

* HeManWomanHater: Piscatella very much dislikes women, at one point saying that they don't respond to authority the way men do so it's necessary to make an example out of them to remind them who's in charge. An interesting example as, since Piscatella is gay, he doesn't view women as sexual objects. Rather, he seems to believe that they're just inherently bad and need to be put in line.

Added DiffLines:

* WithThisHerring: While he almost never succeeds in fixing anything, half of the time this is because budget cuts mean he simply doesn't have what he needs to carry out the job. Just to name one instance, his attempt to lead some inmates in getting a gas generator working during a storm-induced blackout fails due to the slight matter of the prison not having any ''gas''.

* IRejectYourReality: She relates she was in the audience for Music/BruceSpringsteen when he was filming the "Dancing in the Dark" music video and had Springsteen pulled her, rather than Creator/CourtneyCox,on stage, Fig would have become a famous actress. Fig doesn't seem to grasp Cox wasn't chosen at random, but ''specifically cast'' for the video.
