I wrote a comment directly to the author of the article that the term "jailer" is not a term that we use at any facility. We are called Correction Officers, COs or Officer... We are professionals and we have a difficult job to do. As for the officer who brought in contraband he should be dismissed and removed from the department. Its a violation of the oath he took and dishonest to our profession.
