I don’t think PRIVATE CITIZENS should have public records it sets people up for people to take it and misuse it. People who need the information should have a process of getting it not just have everything about you online unless YOU publish it. Absurd

Asked by Xnxn over 5 years ago

I don't publish anything. Also by law, public records are available to the public. That is why they are public records. A police blotter is a public record. You can walk in off the street and see it. You don't even need a reason. Same thing with a police watch record, or mug shots. Same thing with who is in custody at any given time, as long as they are adults. If you object to that, you should contact your legislators and have the law changed.

What does it mean if a inmate gets written up?!

Asked by Seth over 4 years ago

That is a disciplinary report. It can be very minor (i.e. you were a dick, don't do it again) or very serious (we are throwing you in the hole and prosecuting you for killing your cellie) or somewhere in between. Most of course are somewhere in between. If found guilty they can result in loss of good time credit which can mean an extended stay in prison, loss of privileges and loss of programs depending on the nature and seriousness of the offense..

You sound like a Trump voter is this true?

Asked by Beto over 5 years ago

I am capable of critical thinking and independent thought, so I expect that makes me sound like a Trump voter, especially to people who are not Trump voters. Of course, that doesn't mean I VOTED for Trump, just that it is true that I sound like a Trump voter.

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.
