thing is conduct more frequent 'random' searches of your inmates and incoming visitors such as medical staff, officers as well as clergy...can't tell ya how many times we found out that even the nuns were giving the inmates contraband! |
| Kathy should be less cynical of us and more cognizant towards the inmates!!!! | |
| Thats easy: 1.) Good 'construction' of future Jails & Prisons. 2.) Start building jails & prisons the right way, & limiting the area's where contraband can be brought inside - 'Duh'. 3.) Stop hiring 'bad' Correctional Officers, in other words, better screening for those bad apples. 4.) Drug testing on any 'suspected' personnel. 5.) Camera's 'everywhere' within the facilities. 6.) Start a K-9 Drug Unit and start cracking down. | |
| I feel for Cathy with everyone ganging up against her but i think she brings up a good valued argument. The argument should be elaborated some. In my experiance in corrections there are few limited ways in which contraband can be brought within a facility. As much as we back up our staff, I believe that anyone with experiance has known those 'ducks' that are employed. The prime way for any inmate to get contraband in the facility is through staff. The word staff not just being referred to as officers. I have witnessed dirty staff not just through the security end of the spectrum but also through medical, kitchen staff, and volunteer religous visitors as one has stated and even administrative non-security staff. As much as we NEED to back up our fellow staff in all areas of the workplace, we also need to be aware of their involvment with inmates. A dirty staff member will see you hurt ever before an inmate will. If anyone feels that Cathy or myself are cynical just read the headlines in this very website. We can shake our heads but these ducks work in every facility and it is our DUTY to find them and rid them of our honorable work places. | |

Your right on with weeding out bad apples and it’s hard when F.T.O.s bring things to brass and they do not listen and keep the wrong ones. I’ve seen it. |

i have worked in corrections since 2001 . I’ve shaken down many inmates , dorms and locker boxes. Last night while at work I was walking through visitation as i have many of times . This time through I noticed the vaccum cleaner in the orderly’s closet and decided to empty the disposable vacum bag into a trash bag . I found a potatoe chip bag containing 80 quarter’s ($20) and 2 small bags of drugs (pot) . Then went checking other vaccums through-out the facility all but 1 contained contraband. |

when pat searching a inmate pay close attention to the heams and seams like at bottom of pants leg the fly area or even stripes down the leg inmates make little slits then slide contraband in . staff should only be allowed to use clear bags and\or clear containers no bigger than a six pack . DO NOT do like my facility an sell microwave popcorn out of vending in visitation so visitors can share it with inmates . they drop little packages of contraband in popcorn inmates eat it . officer’s think its just popcorn. |

Its a sad fact that staff and volunteers bring in most contraband . Visitors contribute some not alot . outside details do their fair share . Right now I just want to say a lil something to the weak staff ” ur not worth the air it takes to fill your lungs” your personal dealings can get others killed. We should not only report bad staff when found out but go ahead an kick them to sleep. ......................................... ...................................inhale….exhale..sorry about that this subject gets me lil fired up |
