What do you think of websites that publish mug shots for ever? Even if the person is not guilty or has charges dismissed. I mean book and release, 24 hour holds, minor crimes, and things found not guilty or dismissed are there forver and I saw a news

Asked by Martina over 5 years ago

An arrest is public record A mug shot is public record. That being said there are now a fair number of news outlets, at least in CA, who have recently stopped the practice of publishing mug shots of people not yet convicted.

If you had to do it over again would you have been a Correctional Officer?

Asked by Neal Bracken over 4 years ago

Now, maybe not. Back then (1980) yes. The politics have changed the job to the point I am not sure I would like the job today.

How did you treat inmates in general?

Asked by Kim over 5 years ago

I was always somewhat formal. It worked for me, that was my personality. Some people were more towards the friendly side, others more hostile. The inmates can handle pretty much anything but vacillation If you are an asshole, be an asshole all the time. If you are officer friendly, be officer friendly all the time. MOST inmates want to do their time with a minimum of drama. They react reasonably well to being treating like human beings in awkward circumstances. That is reality, they can relate to it.
