I worked for the California state system, starting as a Correctional Officer and retiring as a Lieutenant in 2005. I now write for the PacoVilla blog which is concerned with what could broadly be called The Correctional System.
Sorry, but I don't have enough information on how things work in Connecticut to give even an educated guess. If I were to make a WAG (wild-ass guess) I would say that they don't like employees being sponsors, but if you were already a sponsor when you hired on they would be OK with it. That is, however, a GUESS and not an informed opinion.

With all due respect that may be the most poorly constructed question I have ever read in my life. A little punctuation would be nice too. I THINK you are asking in prisoners are issued tablets (i.e. ipads) as part of the "correctional experience" or as some part of a training program. I am unaware of any jurisdiction that does so.

Not familiar with the rules in Florida. A lot would depend on the content and general appearance of the tattoo. If the one on your neck says MOM you are probably OK. If it looks even remotely like a gang tattoo I would invest in some really good cover makeup and the laser work. Same with the hand. Look on the bright side, if you are getting it done for employment purposes it is probably tax deductible. Good luck.

First you might want to try to figure whether or not your brother is telling you the truth. I know it is hard to believe but prisoners often lie about being mistreated. Assuming for the sake of argument these allegations are true he needs to have his injuries documented if possible as quickly as possible after they occur and needs to contact whatever internal affairs operation they have where he is or if push comes to shove contact the feds. Assault Under Color Of Authority is a very serious crime and the state(s) and the feds do prosecute such things. You could make an initial contact on his behalf with these authorities, but he needs to be willing to go on the record at some point with these accusation to make anything stick.

Why do dry cleaners have autographed pictures on their walls?

Do you occasionally get a little turned off by wine snobbery?
Former IRS Revenue Officer
Are IRS auditors more accommodating when you're polite with them?
Yes I have. Since it is no longer permissible to thump such a person in the parking lot after work you are advised to avoid working with such a person and avoid screwing up when they are around, which is good advice in general. Usually such people become well known quickly and become very unpopular very quickly. People avoid them like the plague and let others know about them. Sometimes that serves to change their habits. Sometimes not, especially if they have friends or relatives in high places. There are jerks in any workplace and you have to learn how to deal with or avoid them.

Without knowing a little more about the situation it is hard to say. If this is an incident report, something you were directly involved in and are required to submit a report on, it would be an odd thing for a supervisor to just "reject" the report without saying what is wrong or unacceptable about it. At some point someone will notice your report isn't part of the package and want to know why. I am guessing this is something else entirely. You definitely want to keep a copy of the report and note that your boss "rejected" it without comment or discussion. depending on what it is exactly you might want to go around your supervisor, and run it up a parallel chain, like maybe a business manager or personnel manager depending on the exact nature of the report. You might want to jump the chain and go to your bosses boss (not to be done lightly and sure to cause trouble even if you are right). You might want to lateral it, to a union if you are represented by one and let them carry the load and attract at least some of the heat. That's what they are there for. You might want to go completely outside your agency and work at picking up whistle-blower status to give you some protection. Or you might want to let it go. Without knowing more about what is going on it is really hard to give any serious recommendation. Good luck.

I am unsure what you want. I don't see a question here. I am GUESSING that you want me to supply information on the "old" system versus the "new" system. Since I have now been out for more than 12 years I don't think I will be able to supply much help. Sorry.
