That disciplinary will scare him to death. I’ll bet that teaches him.

Here is a hint, there are bad men incarcerated at CCI! They aren’t boy scouts and most are in gangs. Most of these inmates aren’t incarcerated with the idea I’m going to get out and do better, most are inside trying to figure out how to not get caught the next time. Remember these guys have 24/7 to think of awful things to do, whereas; most Officer want to leave all thoughts of work inside the gates when they head to the parking lot.
Next, CCI isn’t the only prison to have the problems you read about.
Finally, CCI is the last prison on the Northern end of the state, where do you think they send the South Florida Boys?

Rehabilitation/Reform ? You got to be kidding me. Hasn’t been anything to remotely resemble that in over 25 years. The prison boon (get tough on crime) of the 1990’s was just a way of growing it into the business it is today. Less crime but more prisoners, hmm.
Mr Dexter is going to cross paths with the wrong CO, one of these days.
Pain is the universal language and I would give Mr Dexter a crash course.
well well well you will regret doing this i promise you . your time in prison just became 80% harder there is a good possibilty you wont make it and guess what they could care less . now you have made a real bad decison !!!!!! all i can say is goodbye !!!!
I worked in a local maximum prison in Alabama back in the middle 80’s and we were allowed to meet force with force because this is the only thing some inmate understand and actually respected. They would see you in a few days and let you know that they were in the wrong and that they didn’t want anymore trouble with us. All that has changed because of the lack of respect for the co’s and the votes of the softhearted voters! The inmates are not your best folks in our free society, they have been removed from the free society and incarcerated for their crimes. Therefore, they all deserve to be treated with respect and taken care of because they are unable to provide for themselves. Now, if and only whenever and inmate chooses to do badly harm on a correctional officer, he needs to be met with swift, direct actions to be taken back ouder control and doesn’t deserve the right to be able to sue the states! Actually, that’s exactly what the large cooperations are allowed to do!
It is almost every week something bad is going on at CCI. It appears to be a systemic problem.
This is complete insanity! The system trying to reform/rehabilitate convicts and then those charged to supervise them are assaulted? If I were a judge/lawmaker/governor in the case…an assault will equal 10 additional years on whatever sentence the convict may have! OK, now this individual now has life + 10 years in solitary confinement!
The cure must always equal the malady!
Now for all those that don’t know, this is just one of many assaults on staff that happen almost daily. At Century CI and surrounding institutions. For some unknown reason, the public is not suppose to know that the staff are assaulted daily. If this was an officer on inmate assault, the staff would be going to prison, but this inmate will go to confinement for 20 days.
Imagine being so afraid of society that you sabotage your own freedom.
Assaulting 2 Correctional Officers and fleeing a LEO, 1.5 years incarceration. Yeah, he’ll be a turn around case. Out one door and back in the system!
