So, what's all this talk abou manipulation?

I'm still a little "wet behind the ears" so forgive me for asking a silly question. I have been reading threads here in this section, and I was wondering how the inmates tend to be so manipulating; that is said here a lot. What do they do? And why do you think they tend to do this? I find this interesting. I'm considering doing correctional nursing one day.

I work in a county jail. Some of the manipulation and lying we have has to do with trying to get a trip to the hospital, where they think they will get pain medication.
