Florida D.O.C is a scam ! They hire bodies to do the job. Century is one the easiest prisons to do your time. Most of the veteran officers keep everything under control. It’s those down south “tuff guys” that they hire. They come with an attitude. Wrong place to bring an attitude ! I respect ALL men ! No matter the color of his attire. The Florida doc has been running rampage since they changed they sentencing guidelines. The system in running itself.
The prison is run better than ever. Staff are supported, inmates are treated fair. All the Officers work hard and are getting it done. I love the ignorant comments from those who don’t go in the gates. Please key you hateful and uneducated opinions to yourself rather than bring others down.
the only thing i say about this is the inmates got to much power secondly stop hiring kid to do grow folks jobs yes i have a dog in this fight thank God not at CENTURY another retired even though these inmates lock down give them a little respect we all want that i pray everyday for all law enforcement that they return home to their family
when entering those gates let;s keep them in pray
Spare the rod
What we have here is a total lack of control, lack of upper management support and a lack of consequences for actions. If the officers were allowed to defend themselves, at least to the same extent the public has, it would change the whole landscape of prison.
If century is such a joke put a uniform on and join in, since your such a killer and all. Let’s see if you can last a week!
Century opened weak, bringing corrupt employees from South Florida to run it, should’ve let the “Good ol’ Boys” open it!
Everyone knows Inmates run the place, Century is a joke to DOC!
NEED TO ADD ABOUT 20 YEARS TO THEIR SENTENCE
