    @ LOL

    Have you ever worked at a prison or just done time in one. Having to deal with the dregs of society everyday of your life weighs on a person. Being spit on and having other bodily fluids thrown on you, along with the verbal assaults you get everyday from people who made bad choices can leave a person with a negative opinion of the people they are paid to watch over. I will say COs have way more patience than I ever could in their situation. So to the often forgotten, THANK YOU COs for your time spent holding those who are unfit to live among us. You are greatly appreciated!

    Maybe if the officers would treat inmates as human beings they wouldn’t get beat on!

    @ Gator….why does the state let the violence continue? Having an ex-husband as a prior employee and a family member on the other side. The state corrections is so short handed you have CO’s working overtime. Not to mention the CO’s only have pepper spray to defend themselves, along with a button on their sides to call for help. Which can take up to several minutes depending on where they are at that time. Also keep in mind if these inmates are sentenced to life; they have nothing to loose. Sadly in most prison’s the inmates run it.

    REGARDING:
    “Why does the state let the violence continue??????”

    You can not stop violence from happening (or else ears would be peaceful things).

    You can just respond when it happens.

    Your response may or may not convince the violent to end violence.

    Why do states or this country as a whole let the violence continue? Because the tables have turned – criminals are now the victims and law abiding, working citizens (or even hundred years old monuments) are the instigators of all the violence. We have a lot to look forward to in the years to come

    Correction workers, both officers and civilians, deserve better protection from inmate violence and verbal abuse. They should also be given priority for the covid vaccine.
