Thanks Capt. :)

Capt you are a pussy and a idiot.

@ Emmitt: guess you've got a whole lot of answers how to fix it all, huh? Step up and be recognized as the One True Voice, He Who Shall Lead Us..until then, you are nothing. You are worse than "a pussy and a [sic] idiot", you are a sad crier that knows not what you say. I feel pity for you.

Thanks 20 for having the captain's back on this, and thanks captain for going out of the way on or off the job to make sure even the complainers on this site are at least forewarned. I'll mock your spelling and grammar at another time.

One question on this topic: Why is it any less safe to turn in a pod of 50 than it is to be outside with them? Well, let me explain that my question applies to Rast, where shots can't be taken because the construction of the yard put the fence too high to get a clear shot from the tower. Can they turn in a full pod there?

I worked OT at Morey, not only was I disrespected by inmates, but also staff. I've been around for a long time, and that's one unit I do not feel safe at. It's poorly run, the staff are all new. It's going to fail us again.

@ MK: It is "safer", in parentheses, to stage and keep a pod outside because there is a greater space to manage the group. The tower might not have a clean shot but they can maintain line of sight and call for support if the need were to arise. In a pod setting, your control room CO can't manage the entire fray because he or she can't see through them all. If your officer disappears into a cell, good luck getting them out without some harm. On the other hand--turning in 4 cells at a time, there are not enough carrotsticks to block even the slowest weakest CO from line-of-sight by your control--if, that is, they stay off the f*cking phone and watch them.

@Sexygrl: I'm sorry for your experience at a sister unit. I doubt that the captain, ADW, or DW knew what was taking place. I certainly hope you reported it; and if not to them, then certainly to someone else that could receive the information. Whatever you do, don't just "let it go": part of the problem of our collective agency is that people assume an inmate's mentality, thinking that to report is to "rat" or to "snitch". We are PAID OBSERVERS and we are PROFESSIONAL in ALL that we do and say. When we are faced with the improbability of that professionalism or ethic, it is our duty and our obligation to report it.
