I worked corrections for many years. They have tied the hands of correctional officers. It’s a kinder gentler chain gang. He assaulted a staff member, why did he not have to go to a outside hospital for treatment for injuries he sustained for assaulting a staff member. The old days you didn’t have issues like this because the inmates knew there would be severe consequences for their actions. There are no consequences for their actions now because the inmates have more rights than the staff. The whole prison system needs to be reformed. Let it go back to how it use to be. Where there was consequences. A time where the inmates wasn’t coddled. A quite and orderly confinement is a happy confinement. Untie the hands of the correctional officers and let them do what has to be done to control evil. There are evil ones incarcerated and they are the ones who cause problems and assault staff. Quit being nice, sometimes you have to do bad things to overcome evil.
I would not stop swinging that blackjack, until I was give out and had to sit down.
Serving LIFE, got nothing to lose..
These are the most dangerous ones.
makes no difference what he used. the inmate with his record is trouble waiting to explode. put him in solitary and throw away the key. I hate that the people of Florida are feeding this thug.
This is what happens when your required by the FDC to treat them like your business associates instead of the criminals they are. Now you know why Century can’t keep staff.
