Topic: A Broader View / Prison & Slavery - A Surprising Comparison

Research all you want but we are not and never will go back in time to were we could inflick any type of physical punishment/pain on the incarserated. If that happened we might as well go on to corporal punish in schools again. All of these ideals you have brought up are nothing but rubish in this day in age, wishful thinking for the people who like to inflick pain. This is nothing but mumbo jumbo to fill pages in your book so you can spout off your hiden passion as a brute and has nothing to offer in the morden Correction field.
So just take you comic book a just leave, go away, far far away……because people like you bring nothing but discredit to us all.

Topic: A Broader View / Prison & Slavery - A Surprising Comparison

LocoCO, GalaxyDude mentioned Private oOganizations, Religious groups and the Bible in the same paragraph, so that takes libral off the shelf.

Prisons run by private organizations and backed by almighty narratives from the Bible???, Sounds like another Republican scam to me.

Anyway, what would Religious groups be doing running a prison, besides comparing notes on understanding the behaviors and patterens of young boys

GalaxyDude,Please grow up and come to grips with fact that we live in 2011 A.D. also,encase no one told you, the world is round.and it does in fact orbit around the sun.

I’m not saying the Bible is all wrong but when people like you interpet it and twist its meaning to meet your agenda, it becomes comical if not down right dangerous.

Topic: The Club House / Greetings

Or as we say now in Ohio, welcome to the tea bag, because we really got tea bagged from the Governors people.

Topic: The Club House / Privitazation of some of Ohios' prisons

I just talked to a union rep and the only info he got was from a e-mail he received and that it envovled 6 institutions and that RiCI was one of them and has not heard anything else since.

Topic: The Club House / Privitazation of some of Ohios' prisons

Been hearing about a new pilot program dealing with about six institutions going to a 12 hour shift type of system and RiCI is one of them (my spot).

O-boy does the crap never stop piling up.

Topic: A Broader View / Are You A Knuckle Dragger?

And to think that I thought that it was only the dry air and old age making my hands cracked and calloused. It wasn’t untill tonight, after I got to work and found a few peddles and dirt in my knuckles that I realized what you all where talking about.

I need a banana.

Topic: In Memory of... / CO Jayme Lee Biendl

.Rest in peace Jayme Biendl and may lord take your hand of and walk you thru those heavenly gates and show you the everlasting joys within.

I just love the way administration always back peddles and seem so concerned about our safety and how they never knew that there was a problem in those areas of concern. We’ve had situations where a couple of officers and staff members were seriously hurt or murdered over the last few years, Officers are like “hey, we have a problem with this situation here, can we get this fixed” and it’s always " oh, it’s ok” or “nothing going to happen". only after the officer or staff member gets hurt. or as in a couple of those cases murdered, will they jump up and try to fix it, well at least for a little while that is.

After one staff member was murdered, they implemented the two man (woman) theory, where you had to have another staff member/officer with you at all times or at least have a visual on you. After budget cuts and a couple of years later, it was replaced back to the way it was before, because they now conceder the man down system (which we have carried even before the incident occurred ) as another person, so we are just as well protected as before. (Even if sometimes the system can’t properly locate you and you have officers running around the area, yelling your name to find you???)

It breaks my heart that we have to lose officers because of budget cuts or just plain mismanagement. Is it not bad enough that we have to deal with the criminal master minds and outcast from our communities, because of their social inequities or evil ways . The only resources we have to work with, is our training and equipment both which are somewhat outdated or useless but we also have to be guided by inept, narcissistic leaders and officials that have no real understanding of the jobs we do and are in it only for personal or political gain.

I think the spammers got to them, I think one day they will look at this site again and start to respone, at least I hope so

Topic: Security Central / Best way to handle unruly inmate

I found out that, jumping up on the table and singing Aretha Franklins, “You better Stop”, works pretty well, at least they’ll think your crazy and will do what you say???

Topic: The Club House / Does work sometimes conflict with home life?

HOLY COW, I know I should have had my wife proof read my last post, it makes me look like……… oh well, it is what it is. Let me take my time and see if I can make it more readable to you all.

Demoman, get a grip and if you read all my post on this site, you will know that half of my post are either in jest about the correctional system or life in general. I said that remark about “If you do something wrong, don’t get caught" in reference to Cincyman09s alleged sleeping incident. I know we are supermen and do everything that’s required of us 100% of the time but people still don’t stop to think, we are like everyone else, including you and we do make mistakes. As long as no one got hurt, fine, just don’t make the mistake again, hopefully you learned from it.
I responded to a post a while ago, about someone who had a problem with a sleeping C/O and asked what they should do, look at my response to that one. So stop nit picking, trying to find a reason for your hatefulness toward us, by the way a lot of places we work at, do not require officers to take oaths, they just train them and give them the keys and they have to figure it out as they go along. Try doing that just out of high school.
Sometimes, may it be because of piss poor training, family issues, finance issues, or just maybe we had a brain fart that day but mistakes do happen, so you hope you don’t get caught doing something wrong ( little things ) not like what you referred in your post of, “taking an Inmate to the head,” I guess it happens but I have never seen it done, I mean who has not heard stories of the past or not seen it happen on TV but again, in the 17+ years I have been in the system, I have not.
Just like police officers, military, firemen and other professions that deal with the not so normal part of society, we have a way that we talk to each other, a lingo that we understand, a vernacular of our own of sorts.( and yes I used a thesaurus for that last big word)
As for what Przboss was saying, we need a site to vent and talk about what’s bothering us and having a response come back that might help us or someone else. We may not all be the sharpest tools in the shed but most of us do have a honor code and a line that we won’t cross and most will push that on other officers who attempt to cross that line.
Sorry for any mistakes in my grammar but I hope you get a better picture about what’s being posted here. If you are bent on looking to get mad at us I’m sure this post will mean nothing, so I will stop here and say good day.

My wife says I should not post anything bigger that 1 paragraph, I think she’s right.

Topic: The Club House / Does work sometimes conflict with home life?

Welcome, hope you like this site but be aware it is a slow one when it pertains to getting replys to your questions. thats mainly because this site had a very bad SPAM problem a little bit ago. (every topic no make which one was plastered with ads but thats seems to be fixed now. Again welcome from OHIO here

Topic: The Club House / Does work sometimes conflict with home life?

WEecome to the life of lies, deciet and mayham, This the life we have to deal with here in the profession. My son in law was terminated, because of a inmates accusation because he would not give them extra stuff in the chow hall ( he was in food service). All you can do is

1: Write him up for (giving false information or lying to department employees.). from Ohios DRC rules of conduct # 27

2: keep a accuarate log on everthing you do.

3: Keep copys of all reportsl dealing with this inmate and he’s friends.

4: If do do something wrong don’t get caught.

Other from that, nothing else you can do about it, unless somebody else can think of something.

Topic: The Club House / Help Me With A Question

In Ohio that’s a hole shot (seg placement). It would be wrote up as a threat to staff, some might even try to write it up as attemp to form a relationship?. but he would have been spray (oc) most likley, them taken away. The inmates here have the mentality of “given a inch, we take a mile” so we try to nip this type of behavior in the bud before it gets out of hand…well at least we try to.

Topic: Security Central / death row

This site was infected with spammers a while ago and they placed their ads everywhere, like replica rolex’s on this one. Last week they took all the spammers ads off, so my last reponse makes no sense.

We ain’t nuts the inmates are…..well, I guess sence we are in the same nut house, I guess that makes us a little nutty also.

Topic: The Club House / Interview Monday in Ohio

If your going to be a Corrections Officer you will not need anything but a high school diploma, unless you plan to move up in the system it would help. But with the new Governor coming in and wanting to slash and burn things and he is also a Union hater, don’t throw all you kittens in on the job just yet, because I think he’s looking for a 10% cut across the board? and that means approx. 350+ jobs we would have to cut.

Right now we are going through a hiring benge? and some are thinking that they might be the sacifical lambs to show that we are complying with the budget and still be able to keep a safe work force.

My advice to you, is to keep up with the nursing program, being that there is more of a demand for that skill than one that requires you to be able to tie your shoes.at least to be a CO in Ohio.

Take it from me I’ve been here for 17 years, Don’t get me wrong there are some great Officers but the idiot’s sometimes smother us. Plus it’s a good field to be in but right now with the economy the way it is, we are a dime a dozen because of the saturated market of CJ degrees that are out there.

Hope all works out for you good luck.
