Topic: A Broader View / Staff incentive ideas for quitting tobacco

Yeah, Ohio DRC is stepping up and outlawing all tobacco products on state property. Obviously, tobacco is headed the way of the carrier pigeon. Seems if the brass really, really wanted to help us kick the habit (not only state employees, but everyone) they would use some of that tobacco settlement $$ for something other than a telephone hotline and commercials in the media. But that money has unfortunately gone for things not related to tobacco cessation, leaving it up to the individual to handle the addiction on his own.

Been away longer than I thought. Got a new ‘puter and didn’t transfer all of my old files, and I actually forgot I had joined this particular site!!!

I’m at Hocking, and we’ve been hit hard with upper management losses. We’ve also lost a couple of CO’s when some support staff bumped them. (As most ODRC people know, a CO can go to a different job and then go back to a CO if they do it before a set number of years. That’s what has happened with us.)

Has anyone peeped out that spot on MySpace?

Another new member. Been in corrections since ‘93. Had no idea there was a site dedicated to corrections! Shoulda known, though. Right now I’m looking this site over to see what it’s all about. Doesn’t look like there’s a lot of activity. Why not?
