   Well, Well, Well there Alexis Vargas it seems you have mistook the Century Correctional Institution for an Extended Stay (Graybar) Motel.

   Only real problem is you have earned yourself More Time at the Expense of We the Taxpayers and that OFFENDS me.

   Paul Poe there are no tasers in side the prison. All an officer has is a small can of pepper spray and nothing else. No night sticks, baton or anything else that might help them. They are pretty much at the mercy of the inmates. Anyone says any different has never walked in an open housing dorm with seventy four inmates on each side.

   Plain and simple…. They don’t care… They are lowering the hiring age to 18… So instead of hiring more experience… more maturity … a more skilled individual…. They are hiring a child to do an adults job…. Let’s all guess how that’s gonna turn out… The privatization efforts continue…

   These officers need protective face gear.

   Assault on a Corrections Officer should be the same as a Police officer. They should be charged and time added to their sentence as well as loss of privileges such as visitors. Loosing canteen privileges is a joke. They can get anything they want form other inmates. Personally I feel three meals and maybe a couple of snacks during the day is plenty, and the canteen needs to be removed from all prisons as well as inmate spending accounts. All this does is create a medium of exchange, on the prison grounds, that can be used within the inmate population as a tool of manipulation.

   Paul Poe, stop watching too much TV. Officers in Florida Prisons do not have tasers. If he assaulted an officer and was injured while being subdued, it was because he resisted to being handcuffed. There are body cameras on staff and video surveillance throughout that facility, so the actions by the inmate and staff will be captured and investigated.

   Stop being such a tool and trying to stir up garbage.

   Inmate assaults an officer he gets a DR disciplinary report, goes to DC disciplinary confinement , loses his canteen privileges But if a officer touches a inmate he gets outside charges, goes to jail or prison, stripped of his/her certification, loses job and ability to ever work in law enforcement. and loses retirement . No wonder FDOC has to give $ 1000 bonuses to get people to work there. What a Joke FDOC is losing experienced officers faster than they can hire new officers with NO experience.

   More time should be added to his sentence. A write up is nothing but then I’m on the outside looking in. I don’t think these officers get paid enough.

    How about additional charges

    It is bull that these inmates locked up for there crimes have more rights than those who guard them. In the old days beat them and throw them in a hot box. Now all you can do is write them up. It’s a joke, that’s why prisons are short on guards. That’s like raising a child but don’t spank them. If there’s no consequences for there actions they will run over the guards, take them out back and punish them. They are probably in the prison system because someone didn’t believe in spanking them as a child.

    A write up,,,,,,,,how about a lock up,24/7,1 hr. per month rec time for 20 years

13. Paul Poe on March 11th, 2019 1:52 am

    Staff responded, and the inmate was subdued. Should have read ” Staff responded, and the inmate was tased for punching the officer in the face”
