I was there in 2010 when the guards, a captain included, murdered a blind (Estelle is a medical unit), older man. They beat him to death in his cell and said that he committed suicide b y jumping off his bunk (right). Furhter, regarding the gender thing - women shouldn't be allowed to work in the men's prison-system. Maybe in the outer office, but never in contact with any inmates...<br /> Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8597101.post-38563231735647155582011-08-11T06:57:27.601-05:002011-08-11T06:57:27.601-05:00Does anyone know what this acronym N.C.O.C the fir...Does anyone know what this acronym N.C.O.C the first letter (N) stands for National, the last letter (C) stands for Coalition.

This motive is often very strong and can be overwhelming. What better place to get this need met than in a prison interacting with a sociopath? Prison is the perfect playground for those driven by this need. Some guards find that living a double life adds spice to the whole transaction.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8597101.post-45700975219776378772011-08-04T14:24:35.281-05:002011-08-04T14:24:35.281-05:00This is just the tip of the iceberg here.

He laughed about it.<br /><br />I no longer visit my son, and in fact, when he came up for parole a year ago, I hired an attorney to FIGHT his parole. My son is a dangerous man, in prison for murder, and he should never be let out. He has a "life" sentence.<br /><br />He also has been caught with a cell phone and other contraband. He thinks it is funny to smuggle stuff in and pay off guards. The guards should be prosecuted and if they are convicted given felony-type sentences. A few convictions and sentences would slow them down at least. Now they do not appear to fear getting caught. No big deal.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8597101.post-12652382732636102042011-08-03T13:51:20.484-05:002011-08-03T13:51:20.484-05:00Those staff who take the job so they can hook up w...Those staff who take the job so they can hook up with the criminal are easy to spot. They shake their ass and, almost from day one, display all the warning signs. The trouble is, supervisors almost always ignore these blatant warning signs. I've always wondered why this is. Some tell me it's just part of the culture. My question: why do we allow the worst of us to determine the culture? Many of us have no trouble understanding this. Why do administrators have so much trouble comprehending?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8597101.post-72287893832860811322011-08-03T11:39:45.642-05:002011-08-03T11:39:45.642-05:00I worked in prisons for about a decade (medical). ...I worked in prisons for about a decade (medical). Most guards are just doing a job- neither evil nor saintly. Some are truly engaged, compassionate people who are godsends. But it the nature of the work that draws a few who just should not be there- the ones who crave power over others and love to exercise it, the sadists, the ones- male and female- who harbor in themselves an attraction to bad boys- and girls. Those few make life miserable for so many, are a danger to others, and need to be booted at the first sign of trouble. Not a minor infraction, mind- but you get to know who they are pretty quick and learn to be on alert around them. They cause a lot of trouble that others must clean up.phillip bakernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8597101.post-81058282258967692852011-08-03T09:01:05.739-05:002011-08-03T09:01:05.739-05:00Prosecution to the fullest extent under the law of...Prosecution to the fullest extent under the law of correctional staff involved in smuggling contraband, drugs, and other banned or prohibited items is long overdue. I support the vigourous prosecution of individuals who violate the public trust and engage in such acts.
