Bob Walsh
Stockton, CA
Male, 60
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.
Some females do very well. Most do OK. Some are total loses. Rather like male employees. When I started (1986) women working in men's prisons were unusual but not prohibited. some of the dinosaurs had trouble with it, but not too many. I don't see a problem with it either.

Never been offered a bribe of any kind for any reason. I guess I just come across as too straight.
Share Answer: 
I wouldn't say rude. I would say snarky. Some of the questions I get are really lame, and some of them are presented so poorly it is very hard to NOT say something snarky. I guess I am just a slave to my emotions. (Kind of like just now.)

I have been asked probably 20 times about the legality of sexual relations between staff and former prisoners. I am getting a tad tired of that one.

I am not sure who or what Cl is. I am guessing you won't make anything worse, but can't figure it will make anything better. It is strange that they would put persons with some documentation of being potential enemies in the same cell together. You might try bucking it up to the state level and point out politely that if he gets hurt by a known, documented enemy who they put him in the same cell with there could be some unpleasant fallout, i.e. civil suit. That MIGHT get some action.

That is easy. 1.) George Floyd wasn't a saint. He was a multiple convicted robber and a doper who had illegal drugs in his system at the time of his arrest. 2) He almost certainly had just passed a fake $20 bill in a store is why the cops were called. 3) Many honest people accidentally pass counterfeit currency they get in change every year. 4) Based on my limited knowledge of the situation I find it very hard to understand why they took him out of the police car and laid him down on the ground. 5) Anyone with any brains or any training knows about positional asphxia and how dangerous it is to leave a person face down on the ground with their hands restrained behind them, especially if you are adding pressure from above. 6) Floyd and the cop knew each other. 7) The cop's actions were, imho, at least grossly negligent and almost certainly criminal. 8) I am unsure about the laws in MN but it is possible the other three cops have some criminal liability for failure to act to protect Floyd. It is also possible they don't. 9) Passing funny money, EVEN IF you do it on purpose, is not and should not be a capital offense. 10) The cop is toast. Maybe the other three cops are toast too. 11) I don't see how it helps the situation to loot and burn businesses.

By taking a civil service exam. For some people it is the family business, some people are just looking for a steady job that isn't likely to go away. The structure appeals to some. Some people get off on thumping prisoners.
