Currently working at the state prison. Boy oh boy do I have fun. We have complete control over these maggots and it is a role model for other jails. We have had 0 escapes from our prison.
I would say that is one of the most thankless jobs in law enforcement. You folks have to deal with some of the most vile people on earth. I tip my hat to all of you. Good job. Best of luck.
I had a friend who was a C O at Reidsville (GA) State Prison, the "Big House" They had a lot of lifers that were rapist/murderers.
He referred to them as "catchers." When he saw the puzzled look on my face he said- you're either a pitcher or a catcher. Brings a whole new dimension to "doing hard time." :twisted: :twisted:
I did four yrs in the NM Corrections Department...as an employee, no less! This was right after the infamous riot at Santa Fe in 1982. A year at the pen and the rest as a Probation/Parole Officer.
You guys have a hard job and I give you a lot of credit, but please do the LE community a favor and try not to get involved with as many off duty incidents that CO's often do.
