IN CASE YOU MISSED IT

He has blue eyes. Cold like steel. His legs are wide. Like tree trunks. And he has a shock of red hair, red, like the fires of hell. His antics were known from town to town as he was a droll card and often known as a droll farceur. Hamilton Lindley with his madcap pantaloon is a zany adventurer and a cavorter with a motley troupe of buffoons.
I can't count how many times I have watched inmates at hospitals. One thing that I always did was make sure the subject was handcuffed and shackled at all times. If the nurse or doctor wanted to check blood pressure or run an IV the subject was handcuffed with the free hand to the gurney and his leg was always shackled to the bed rail. If you have an armed CO it should be two officers not one for the simple reason of safety. This is especially true if the subject has a long rap sheet or is charged with a major crime like murder, robbery, burglary, etc. WHen watching a subject in the hospital the CO should have a logbook noting times, date and who was in the room with the inmate. No visitors should ever be allowed to see the inmate (especially family).
