C.O.'s arnt even real cops. Just do your babbysitting job and go home, cause you all dont run nothen in prison.The only reason you get assaulted is because your a real asshole and disrespectful. We run the show. We make you follow are rules and you cant do nothen about it.
u r an idiot. The CO's job is to protect people, including urself. U sit there and pass judgement on all of us when u have no idea the stress that comes with this job. I work at the Oklahoma DOC where on a daily basis im outnumbered approx 200 to 1. Thats 200 men who if they could get away with it, and if I let them, would kill me, another officer or YOU in order to gain their freedom. Can u even phathom that? What thats like? These men chose their path.
The Correctional Officer union is one of the strongest in the nation, and it is directly responsible for protecting them when they cross the line. Their role is to place doubt in jurors minds when they hear that the the bloodied, broken, tortured, mamed human was mistreated and abused by one of their officers. They insist the convict is a liar. And, they ask jurors to believe that the force was only that which was "necessary." They mostly win because society doesn't care.
Let's seriously break this down and analyze it, shall we? The CO's job is to walk humans around on a leash. The CO's job is twist wrists, apply pressure on human weak spots, tase other humans, shoot humans with rubber bullets. The CO's job is to spray chemicals into the eyes of other humans. They do their work in unity, "brotherhood," under a fraternal code of silence. And, they simply ask society to believe that they are decent, humane, tolerant and fair when they do their job.
And, yet, the COs appear to be complaining about how these people live so well. Free this and free that. ...yea, free cages and free boxes.
Does anybody else see the irony in how these COs actually view their place of employment? Does anybody else see the irony in this perspective on humanity?
I'm not saying these criminals don't belong locked up, but I am saying it is sort of sickening to produce and release a video that serves to glorify the COs. Their job is to hurt other humans.
The officers in this video talk about how these men have it better than "you and I on the street," with "free housing," "free medical care," etc.
The irony is that the clip quickly moves to a scene where there are upright, narrow, boxed in cages that some nimrod refers to as the "classroom."
These people live in "houses" that consist of small, tiny concrete boxes - many for their entire life. These people attend education in "classrooms" that are metal boxes. They sit in metal boxes.
A CO can look the other way, disingenuously of course, and allow inhumanity, indignity and abuse to unfold. Afterward, he/she simply chalks it up to the "environment." A CO can respond less than genuinely and (a.k.a., quickly) under the guise of "safety." A female CO can intentionally embarrass a man on the toilet or in the shower, and afterward chalk it up to "safety." The latitude for COs to exercise subtle and nuanced indignities is huge, and the custody culture indoctrinates everyone.
fearlessundeadmachin: You don't have to "earn respect" as an officer. You can if you CHOOSE to do so. However, the power imbalance is so immense and the correctional code of fraternal silence so great that bad COs are well insulated, and they enjoy great latitude to push abusive indignities well under the scrutiny of legitimate accuntability. The worst thing about it is that it often goes unchecked under code language ("stop resisting") for years.
They chose to hurt other people. Some of them (maybe even the majority) are good people who made a mistake and just wanna go home. But the rest are evil, dispicable wastes of skin and CO's r the only ones between u and them. I will dedicate my life to making sure that they never get the opportunity to hurt someone ever again.....YOUR WELCOME
Corrections is an awesome job in my point of view. I say it's alot harder than being a police officer. Police officers deal with 1-2 people, maybe a little more, but a correctional officer has to deal with like numerous inmates. I've seen a correctional officer have to handle 40 inmates by himself. This job is beneficial, and getting an inmate back on his feet is rewarding. I'm working on my way to become a correctional officer here in Canada, but at the juvenile centre.
The correctional officer teeters precariously atop a slippery slope. The authority and power is intoxicating. Abusing someone, even slightly, is far too easy. Flying off the radar of legitimate societal scrutiny, officers enjoy insulation and fraternal unity cradled within a strong, unionized network of silence. The only protection inmates truly have is by way of surveillance cameras. And even those are now too easily, and too often, erased and deleted 'inadvertantly."
The same mindset that concludes this is simply a "security" measure is, in my opinion, the very same mindset that fueled the dehumanizing indignities and abuses inflicted on the boys and men in Abu Ghraib. When those "correctional" nimrods were first caught, they tried to "justify" the inhumaniy on the basis of safety and security. They tried to say that forcing detainees to masturbate and pile into pyramids was all simply in an effort to keep them occupied and, therefore, "safe."
noblelies: If they are human enough to educate, they are human enough to extend the most basic and fundamental level of human dignity. Placing people in these small, narrow, confined separate cages is an insult to all of us. Asa society, we should all be ashamed when we look at this. Somebody somewhere said this was okay, and authorized it. There is absolutely no way a person could pursue legitimate education and rehabilitation while being treated like a dog in a kennel.
dont call convicts animals, cause i got more respect for animals then i do most people, call convicts as sub-human, lowlifes, scum, pieces of shit, etc. i have animals here at home, and they are very loving and loyal, good company. i treat them as any member in the family. convicts rape, kill, molest, steal and the list goes on,, IM OUT !
Oklahoma here. Supposed to have 60 officers per shift. We do it with 29. It's not that nobody is hiring new people, it's just if we get 10 new officers, 7 will quit in the first month.
OMG!... the staff member in this video described those cages as a "classroom." .... come on.... how amazingly degrading and counter-productive to any real learning environment. That takes the proverbial cake.
Well, what do you expect when your average attendee has a history of raping women, stabbing men, and killing children? At a Level 4 prison, you have to expect the worst. These guys did it to themselves.
At level 1,2 & 3 prisons the classrooms are much more nicer and almost look like regular classrooms. The level of security is commensurate with the level of criminality in the pupil. I mean, you wouldn't put a Great White shark in a home-style glass fish tank, would you?
"They"..."They"...."They"....the officers in this video constantly refer to inmates as a group. They generalize...."they will fight"...."vioence is all THEY know".... etc.
That is, in my opinion, a major part of the problem. These convicts have to be here and live in fear for their lives everyday. Showing weakness is a death sentence for them. Of course they are going to demonstrate what they have to, and behave as they do, simply to live another day.
Thinking about becoming a correctional worker? Ponder on this:
The civilized world community was outraged at the revelations of humiliation, torture and abuse at Abu Ghraib and Guantanamo. However, most insiders and experts agreed that most of what happened in those places was little more than an export of "correctional" thinking and culture - an export from the typical U.S. "correctional" system. The main pyramid building nimrod (Charles Graner) was actually an "officer" back in the USA
Statistically, correctional work is about middle of the road in terms of real danger (to/for officers). An ER nurse is in far more danger. Correctional work is actually much safer, statistically speaking, than highway construction work. However, to hear the typical correctional officer or union representative speak, one might think correctional work is highly dangerous. It is not.
Danger is immense inside the walls, but only for those living there, not working there.
Correctional work appeals to those burdened with many insecurities for it offers instant authority and "respect." It appeals to subpopulations of men and women for different reasons. For the guys, the typical correctional job offers him an outlet for his latent bravado and a chance at finally being in charge of something. For the gals, it provides those particular women with men-issues an opportunity to heal - to be in charge delivering orders and regaining her self-respect.
You earn respect as an officer. Anyone thinking that they can just go in and abuse the inmates is dead wrong. We follow a code, too, and those who act in their own self-interest get excluded, fall out of the herd, and are chewed up and spit out!
The job of a CO is stressful and thankless, but someone has to do it. If you want to attack the corrections system attack the giant companies and Gov't policies that make it possible; DON'T ATTACK COs.
OMG this video scares me, I graduate in March with my Criminal Justice Degree and I wanted to be a Correctional Officer, but now I'm confused... I'm also a female...
And another thing... in a professional viewpoint I believe everyone has the right of trial by law... but deep inside I don't feel sorry for any offenders, they had to have done something to get there and don't think they wont take advantage of you and try to shank you... im just doing this to keep my kids eating everyday
Being a CO is extremely easy... I work in texas and used to work in the oilfield and moved to a prison.... incredibly easy unless you just don't know how to act on situations quickly... the only tough part is that if you have ever been a criminal you might want to find a different job
oh my god. "they have it better inside than we do on the street". free electric, free housing, no bills. just no freeDOM!!! and that BS about medical care. you fill out your inmate request form to see a Dr. and it might be 2-3-4 weeks if at all. as far 100 to 1 ratio (inmates to co's) quit locking up guy's for stupid offenses. calif. law say's that the courts have the right to send you to prison for your 2nd petty theft. let the state spend 40-50 thou a year to house a guy who stole 2 beers twc.
Remember this when you're watching sensationalized bullshit like this glorifying the prison pigs and perpetuating the dehumanization of those forced into the 'surplus population' this white colonial settler state pushes them into.
@NMakhno1 Well, its better than my solution, which would be to just kill these bastards either before or immediately after they go to prison. Sure would save us some god damn taxes.
"POLICE BRUTALITY IS NOT just a matter of bad cops, any more than jailhouse torture is simply the work of bad guards, or the mistreatment of prisoners at Abu Ghraib and Guantanamo Bay is just a problem with war-crazed GIs. In each case, the institution's historical role and social function shape its day to day operations. More concretely, specific policies establish practices and conditions that make abuse not just possible, but practically inevitable."-
I did this job for a month absolutley hated it. Worst job I ever had. Some people love it some hate. I have done serveral different jobs and this was my worst. Took my training in a prison and ended up working at a jail. I had 55 inmates in a mens dorm and I was by myself. I had a radio and handcuffs. Best of luck to anyone that does this job and I wish the best for you!
@MrSpemat Actually, they have job training in most of our jails and prisons also. Everything from farming, to woodworking, to cooking, to metalworking, to carpentry. Prisons are mostly self-sustaining. A lot of prisons also offer GED classes and testing. My cousin earned a bachelor's degree from a prison cell. You are from Germany, your nation releases murderers after some 10 years and has no capital punishment for even child murderers.
Being a police officer or a correctional officer is a thankless job. Officers role In society is to protect. If there where no police officers, what is standing in the way from.someone breaking into your home or robbing you in the streets. Just because you get a speeding ticket from a.cop one doesent mean you should forget their true purpose in society and that you should harbor any ill feelings towards them
@Death102 Thanks for that! I am a rare breed that likes to be challenged to the core! I want that career simply because very few do and very few could handle it!
@jonathanstile Good luck and stay safe if you get it! It's one of the toughest careers out there, and props to you for being prepared to deal with it.
@jonathanstile That's a good way to be man! Just learn there slang, and give respect and you will be fine. Like spanish gangs in there wila means kite. So if you start hearing wila look for a kite floating around. Trazor- razor connected to a toothbrush. Milkshake- inmates crap, and pee mixed together and they will throw it at you. Cho-mo, MO, ripper, short eyes, tree jumper, all slang for child molester. You hear a inmate say hes there all day- life in prison. straight 8- he will be getting out
@bfry38 Thanks for the heads up! I am prepared for the absolute worst environment. I know that "respect" is critical! Respect is an attribute that I carry with me. I hope it works both ways for me while on duty!
@jonathanstile I just passed my written test. I just hope to pass everything else. The test was itself depressing reading it. I need the money. I want to work with the juveniles, but I will take this on if they have no other openings. Prison makes people into animals. I feel they need to do away with the prison system and use torture or death on a criminal. I know it's a contradiction because I'm trying to get work in the prison system but I'm liberal, humanitarian.
@u2hubbard Congrats on your success! For me it's not the money! It's to be part of a team where each one of us needs to look out for one another. I want a career that tests me mentally and physically on a daily basis! I want to do my part that assures each member of my staff gets home after his/her shift.
@BrionesCh I'm a rare breed that truly excels under pressure and stress. I like to be part of a unit composed of individuals who depend on one another for success and survival. I like the fact that this a career that very few would want and far fewer could even handle! This is a job that has to be done by unique individuals, I'm one of them! The benefits are attractive to me. I have a succesfull construction company but I want to move into a career more challenging.
@jonathanstile interesting. but from the looks of your channel you seem like youd be more of a military man! have you thought about joining the service? maybe be part of the corps of engineers or being a military prison guard?
These P.O.S. inmate snakes should be taken out to the town square and shot. When it's determined that he is absolutely guilty beyond any doubt, blow his ass to hell where he belongs. Save the society, save taxpayers billions of dollars, and save a bunch of time. If a guy has proven he can't or won't live in the world without raping women or children, robbing or killing people, peddling dope or burning places down, he does NOT need to live PERIOD. We're SICK of this soft pity for thugs!!!
9:10 Must be nice. For me to see my Dr. it takes 2 months. I think they should bring back hard labor for these guys, and treat them like the rest of us.
Anyone who thinks the penal system is a system set up to work is a fool. It doesn't work because it's not designed to. If prisons were harsh, actually harsh, too many people would be scared to break the law. If they were too soft no one would work there and feel at all safe. It's riding the line that's the most important aspect of the lifeline for the penal system. It's not fair regardless of how you look at it or which side you're on. And it's built to be that way. Believe it.
I really enjoyed this truthful video of what corrections is all about.I think if you could
educate the state of KENTUCKY on gangs and stupid age discrimination cases against officers trying desperately to do their jobs without a hostile work place and
I work corrections, and have worked state maximum security and Federal High medium "Which is almost the same. I work around these inmates all the time. Some of them make me sick to my stomach, but while on the job I have to treat them with dignity and respect, makes me sick, not all of them are baby rapers and what not and I understand that, but the ones who are just make me sick, and I have to treat them the same as I do every other inmate, sickening.
If only his liberal ass as governor had the balls to back that up, we might respect him more. But by the way he used to run Cali, I doubt he has any balls at all.
If only the Shawshank Correctional Officer universe existed. Hadley was an extreme badass. "You eat when we say u eat, you sleep, when we say u sleep, u got that u maggot dick, muthafucker?"
@grunt11b Yeh, I had a friend who was a CO who defended himself against an attack, and my friend who is a pretty tough guy, broke his radio over the inmates head. They fired him of course.
Yeah, know what it's like to be the spouse of a Correctional Peace officer. Having to worry extensively if your spouse will be coming home after his/her shift. Worrying about test results after your spouse has been "gassed" (blood, spit, piss and shit), even worrying about being out in public and wondering if your spouse will be recognized by someone out on parole that was housed in the same unit as your spouse worked.

I'm a Correctional Officer for the Connally Unit in Kenedy, TX. That prison is infamous for the Texas 7 who escaped in 2000. SInce then that unit has learned from the mistakes in the past and has done a great job in the security field.
I love what I do and do everything by policy. From day 1, you've got be firm, fair, and consistent to all the offenders.
Propoganda my butt. 10 percent unemployment. Who is going to keep us safe from prisoners mamadank? You? I admire these brave souls. They are not out raping our daughters and killing innocent citizens. Not rocket science. Duh!
It's not job for everyone. There are lots of people in the job that shouldn't be there. They are weak, or lazy, or crooked, or worse. You won't get rich. The job takes a heavy mental toll on you. Imagine that about half your waking hours are spent around the worst society has to offer.
And then, you have to deal with the offenders too.
You can make an ok living working for a state corrections agency. It's just
a job for the strong (I mean mentally) Not the weak.
ive been in prison at SALINAS VALLEY B YARD and its no joke, prison really sux... theres people that actually enjoy being in there... most people deserve the time they get, its bad u wont ever get used to it unless u want to gt used to that life. ENJOY LIFE.... TAKE MY ADVICE, IM 22 AND LOVE MY BED AND PILLOW
@clevelandman2010 You piece of shit!!!!!!!!!! FUCK you!!! you shouldnt get shit for the way you have conducted yourself as a human being!!!!!!!!!14/88
I LOVE MY JOB, i lost it for a year and won it back in court with a year's back pay salary. being a c.o. is a great job especially when you try to find work in this fucked up economy. there is simply nothing out there. nothing that pays as good anyway.
@hotdoobie75 That's exactly why I dropped off application after application until I got called for the exam finally which was awesome. Was the exam real hard for you? What kind of questions did they ask on it? I take my test Wednesday.
@emello4 work on your memorization and observance skills. example: We were all given a drawing to look at for one minute or so. after the buzzard rang, the testing officers quickly removed the drawing from all applicants desks. The drawing was of a prison recreation yard in cartoon form, (sort of). We had to look and memorize the most details we could in a minutes time and then turn over the testing paper which had several questions asked about the drawing that was taken away.checkurpage4more..
@hotdoobie75 Damn that sounds kind of tough, especially if there's only around a minute. The practice exam I took online gave me 3 minutes to exam, now I'm starting to wonder a little more. It was a basic cartoonish picture of a street in the city with bus's, the subway, business's, people everywhere, sign's with number's and I actually did alright online, got 8 out of 10 right but had 3 minutes. So is memorization and observance the key's to passing the test? How many try's did it take you?
@emello4you Wait you do get more than a minute. Mine was eleven years ago so i don't remember everything. It's a part of the test but not all. I got in on my second try, but that's because I failed the interview later on in the process of the first attempt. When asked a question, I pulled down my pants and started singing, " Look at my dibby, look at my dibby!". i suggest you don't do that. jk relax and you will be fine. i work for Conn. where are you applying?keep me posted k?
@hotdoobie75 Oh alright, hopefully I actually do get 3 minutes. And if it's the same picture that would be fuckin awesome lol! But I highly doubt it. Damn your a veteran now, 11 yrs, how much did you start out at and what are you making now? Starting out here in southern maryland, 42,000 is the starting salary, which is highly impressive and extremely hard to find. Just like you had mentioned before. LMAO I'm pretty sure your messing around about that, right?? Hahahahaha! Only potheads do that!
@emello4you whoah! 42,0000 to start is excellent! I started at about 31,0000. Now i make $31.50 an hour and can work overtime almost any time i want. and it's easy overtime, I like to stay overnight, and read a book or magazine. others work during the day for overtime. there's many choices. I made with overtime last year almost 73,000 last year and more the year before that. some officer's make 100,000 a year. i'm totally serious. these guys work alot of overtime and drive fancy cars.
@hotdoobie75 Dang for real? So will I be able to make it on my own with this job? Yeah but that was also 11 yrs ago, if you started now you'd probably make more than me. 31.50 hourly, that's fricken awesome! I did the math, mine is 20.19 hourly. What's your salary and what kind's of bonus's, raises & all do you get? Dont you get time & a half in overtime? Damn 73k, that's what I'm talking about.
@emello4you i'm not sure on the math of the raises. A fellow officer buddy who graduated in my class keeps me informed over the years when and how much a raise will be and when it's coming. I do know you get a good sized one when you reach your 5th year and a really big one when you reach your 10th year. If your scheduled to work on Thanksgiving, Christmas , and New years day: these days you get "double time and a half" IT'S HUGE. At X-mas every officer gets 800 dollar bonus 4 present shopping
@hotdoobie75 Oh my god dude are you serious?? That is fricken awesome, hopefully I get all that down here. DOUBLE!!! That means 40 fucking dollars an hour, holy crap. So what were your raises in that 5th and 10th year? I'm guessing like 5g's get added to your salary, then 10g's. Alright now, so can you explain what happens in the other processes that come after the exam? For instance the written, verbal, physical, oral etc. I need this job bad! I'm gonna ace this bad boy next time!
@krazynate05 connecticut pays c.o.'s very well. I've been in the Conn. dep.of corrections for eleven years. I made just under 70,000 last year.(easy overtime amost anytime you want it)
Im a Former TdCj Correctional officer and County Jailer, I certainly remember getting out of the academy,when those doors closed ,on my 1st day of OJT ,the hairs on the neck was standing up, you know at anytime one of these fuckers could snap and try and kill you,it was unlike any other job I ever had before or since..
And these are the kind of men--the criminals--that Hip Hop culture reveres and respects? Men who kill others out of spite? Stop snitching? Fuck you. I've been to prison. A lot of these guys will kill your mother for $20 and laugh about the crime. I no longer condone this behavior & guys like this aren't cool, they're weak men. A strong man, real man controls his emotions. A real man loves, a weak male hates.
Im a Correctional Officer With the North Carolina DOC... I work at a max security prison,it can be hell sometimes!!! Much respect to Cali CO's,Ive heard about what yall go through!!!
I do not know why the government keep these animals alive. This is tax payers money going down the drain. why do you not just execute all these criminals.
@1fightforright23 You need to ask that question to the leftist politicians, they are the ones against giving this scum the dirt nap. You look at heavy GOP run states, like Florida and Texas, they are whacking these turds all the time, putting them down so the public is safer, but places like California or Massachusetts. You want scum like this put down for good? Vote properly.
@ShoutOutHk I have recently resurched what felony means. 1) I do not live in Texas 2) I am not a rapist,Murderer or robber. I do not commit crimes period!!! Why would I be accused of felony if I am speaking the truth?
@DfektRiskProductions 1) I want you to listen carfaly at 1:46 and 2:02 of this vid. 2) During Secondary school years I was always victimised verbaly and somtimes physically by violent guys despite givining them respect, money and good advice for life and helping with schoolwork. Whenever they felt like it they gave me pain and suffering. It is a know fact that bullys go on to have a criminal record in there adult years.
@DfektRiskProductions Obviously you have had not experienced or resurched into this. There are three types of dominators in this race low medium and high. The only ones who know how shit really works is people at the bottom (Me and other dorks and losers) and people at the top (sociopaths, phycos, etc) primitivly.
Dont forget people most of these cons are gonna get out eventually. The people who say they "should" be treated like crap, raped, beat up or whatever are really dumb, because these guys go crazy in the pen and then are released.
I'm pro-american till my death but I am really starting to think that this thing is not working. Prisoner have better coverage than the working class. We have more prisoners per ca pita than any other country, and we are the land of the free. Something is wrong, and maybe capitalism tries to capitalize on whatever it can, good or bad., way too much.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
some of these guards are idiots. prisoners got it good? yeah no freedom, forced into prison gang life for survival, crappy food, potential rape. yeah a great life. idiots
Correction Officers-We Patrol the toughest neighborhoods in America. All we got is our mouth our baton and each other..I'll go to war with any of my brother and sister officers anyday.
Wooow, threw an infant in the... phew, that's jail shrimp, that's not even fresh fish. Not sure if that describes how low on the food chain. Kelp, that stuff that Whales eat?
I'm a CO in NY and I want to say it's an awesome job..Not easy one bit and all some of you talk shit about officers without having any...ANY idea what your talking about...
2:00 and 2:50 Beat on those fuckin' animals I'll help you. Drug use should be legal, sold in pharmacies just as Alcohol (The hardest drug of all) is.If drugs were legal you'd have less gang violence, aids would be down,Crime such as theft and robbery would be down cause it wouldn't cost so much,also less people would O.D. because they'd know what they're buying. Don't get me wrong, I'm clean and glad to be hope I never touch alcohol/opiate drugs again. But just sayin'
The long term guys aren't inmates, they are wild animals....living and breathing what they created while incarcerated - that's all they know! It's a zoo. And most of them cho
C.O.'s arnt even real cops. Just do your babbysitting job and go home, cause you all dont run nothen in prison.The only reason you get assaulted is because your a real asshole and disrespectful. We run the show. We make you follow are rules and you cant do nothen about it.

The Correctional Officer union is one of the strongest in the nation, and it is directly responsible for protecting them when they cross the line. Their role is to place doubt in jurors minds when they hear that the the bloodied, broken, tortured, mamed human was mistreated and abused by one of their officers. They insist the convict is a liar. And, they ask jurors to believe that the force was only that which was "necessary." They mostly win because society doesn't care.

tbird123able 2 months ago
fearlessundeadmachin: You don't have to "earn respect" as an officer. You can if you CHOOSE to do so. However, the power imbalance is so immense and the correctional code of fraternal silence so great that bad COs are well insulated, and they enjoy great latitude to push abusive indignities well under the scrutiny of legitimate accuntability. The worst thing about it is that it often goes unchecked under code language ("stop resisting") for years.

They chose to hurt other people. Some of them (maybe even the majority) are good people who made a mistake and just wanna go home. But the rest are evil, dispicable wastes of skin and CO's r the only ones between u and them. I will dedicate my life to making sure that they never get the opportunity to hurt someone ever again.....YOUR WELCOME

Corrections is an awesome job in my point of view. I say it's alot harder than being a police officer. Police officers deal with 1-2 people, maybe a little more, but a correctional officer has to deal with like numerous inmates. I've seen a correctional officer have to handle 40 inmates by himself. This job is beneficial, and getting an inmate back on his feet is rewarding. I'm working on my way to become a correctional officer here in Canada, but at the juvenile centre.

The correctional officer teeters precariously atop a slippery slope. The authority and power is intoxicating. Abusing someone, even slightly, is far too easy. Flying off the radar of legitimate societal scrutiny, officers enjoy insulation and fraternal unity cradled within a strong, unionized network of silence. The only protection inmates truly have is by way of surveillance cameras. And even those are now too easily, and too often, erased and deleted 'inadvertantly."

The same mindset that concludes this is simply a "security" measure is, in my opinion, the very same mindset that fueled the dehumanizing indignities and abuses inflicted on the boys and men in Abu Ghraib. When those "correctional" nimrods were first caught, they tried to "justify" the inhumaniy on the basis of safety and security. They tried to say that forcing detainees to masturbate and pile into pyramids was all simply in an effort to keep them occupied and, therefore, "safe."

noblelies: If they are human enough to educate, they are human enough to extend the most basic and fundamental level of human dignity. Placing people in these small, narrow, confined separate cages is an insult to all of us. Asa society, we should all be ashamed when we look at this. Somebody somewhere said this was okay, and authorized it. There is absolutely no way a person could pursue legitimate education and rehabilitation while being treated like a dog in a kennel.

@tbird123able:
Well, what do you expect when your average attendee has a history of raping women, stabbing men, and killing children? At a Level 4 prison, you have to expect the worst. These guys did it to themselves.
At level 1,2 & 3 prisons the classrooms are much more nicer and almost look like regular classrooms. The level of security is commensurate with the level of criminality in the pupil. I mean, you wouldn't put a Great White shark in a home-style glass fish tank, would you?

"They"..."They"...."They"....the officers in this video constantly refer to inmates as a group. They generalize...."they will fight"...."vioence is all THEY know".... etc.
That is, in my opinion, a major part of the problem. These convicts have to be here and live in fear for their lives everyday. Showing weakness is a death sentence for them. Of course they are going to demonstrate what they have to, and behave as they do, simply to live another day.

And, get this...he was an "officer" in good standing. Do you want to work in a system that deems him a good officer?
tbird123able 5 months ago
Thinking about becoming a correctional worker? Ponder on this:
The civilized world community was outraged at the revelations of humiliation, torture and abuse at Abu Ghraib and Guantanamo. However, most insiders and experts agreed that most of what happened in those places was little more than an export of "correctional" thinking and culture - an export from the typical U.S. "correctional" system. The main pyramid building nimrod (Charles Graner) was actually an "officer" back in the USA
tbird123able 5 months ago
Statistically, correctional work is about middle of the road in terms of real danger (to/for officers). An ER nurse is in far more danger. Correctional work is actually much safer, statistically speaking, than highway construction work. However, to hear the typical correctional officer or union representative speak, one might think correctional work is highly dangerous. It is not.
Danger is immense inside the walls, but only for those living there, not working there.
tbird123able 5 months ago
Correctional work appeals to those burdened with many insecurities for it offers instant authority and "respect." It appeals to subpopulations of men and women for different reasons. For the guys, the typical correctional job offers him an outlet for his latent bravado and a chance at finally being in charge of something. For the gals, it provides those particular women with men-issues an opportunity to heal - to be in charge delivering orders and regaining her self-respect.
tbird123able 5 months ago
@tbird123able
FALSE
You earn respect as an officer. Anyone thinking that they can just go in and abuse the inmates is dead wrong. We follow a code, too, and those who act in their own self-interest get excluded, fall out of the herd, and are chewed up and spit out!
The job of a CO is stressful and thankless, but someone has to do it. If you want to attack the corrections system attack the giant companies and Gov't policies that make it possible; DON'T ATTACK COs.

Anyone who thinks the penal system is a system set up to work is a fool. It doesn't work because it's not designed to. If prisons were harsh, actually harsh, too many people would be scared to break the law. If they were too soft no one would work there and feel at all safe. It's riding the line that's the most important aspect of the lifeline for the penal system. It's not fair regardless of how you look at it or which side you're on. And it's built to be that way. Believe it.

@1fightforright23 You need to ask that question to the leftist politicians, they are the ones against giving this scum the dirt nap. You look at heavy GOP run states, like Florida and Texas, they are whacking these turds all the time, putting them down so the public is safer, but places like California or Massachusetts. You want scum like this put down for good? Vote properly.

@1fightforright23 I hope you arent falsely accused of a felony in a state such as Texas... you might just be put on death row, that would be ironic

@ShoutOutHk what does felony mean? what are you trying to say?
1fightforright23 11 months ago
@ShoutOutHk I have recently resurched what felony means. 1) I do not live in Texas 2) I am not a rapist,Murderer or robber. I do not commit crimes period!!! Why would I be accused of felony if I am speaking the truth?

@DfektRiskProductions 1) I want you to listen carfaly at 1:46 and 2:02 of this vid. 2) During Secondary school years I was always victimised verbaly and somtimes physically by violent guys despite givining them respect, money and good advice for life and helping with schoolwork. Whenever they felt like it they gave me pain and suffering. It is a know fact that bullys go on to have a criminal record in there adult years.

@DfektRiskProductions Obviously you have had not experienced or resurched into this. There are three types of dominators in this race low medium and high. The only ones who know how shit really works is people at the bottom (Me and other dorks and losers) and people at the top (sociopaths, phycos, etc) primitivly.

Dont forget people most of these cons are gonna get out eventually. The people who say they "should" be treated like crap, raped, beat up or whatever are really dumb, because these guys go crazy in the pen and then are released.

I'm pro-american till my death but I am really starting to think that this thing is not working. Prisoner have better coverage than the working class. We have more prisoners per ca pita than any other country, and we are the land of the free. Something is wrong, and maybe capitalism tries to capitalize on whatever it can, good or bad., way too much.

2:00 and 2:50 Beat on those fuckin' animals I'll help you. Drug use should be legal, sold in pharmacies just as Alcohol (The hardest drug of all) is.If drugs were legal you'd have less gang violence, aids would be down,Crime such as theft and robbery would be down cause it wouldn't cost so much,also less people would O.D. because they'd know what they're buying. Don't get me wrong, I'm clean and glad to be hope I never touch alcohol/opiate drugs again. But just sayin'
