I think that this article should be used are a learning tool for Departments to look into doing cell searches along with inspecting cells periodically throughout the shifts. This should be a big eye opener to officers becoming complacent (Comfortable) while at work. Officers need to do cell shakedowns including taking ALL contriband and inspecting the cells for any needed repair. Some Officers become Inmate friendly and either overlook or don't see any harm in letting some contraband go. Take empty peanutbutter jar for instance. They look and seem harmless. Inmates just use it as a cup. Imagine getting a peanutbutter jar up beside the head full of uf liquid. Or even trash. That is a fire hazard or used to concStaeal a weapon or vital info as far as an inmate being green lighted (hit list) or even tools for escape. We can not get comfortable on our job. If you get comfortable you will get hurt or cause another officer to get hurt or perhaps have an escape happen. Be security conscience, think of your safety and the safety of other officers and the public. Your fellow Officer, Stag.
