Yes, but as an Officer who gets them outside the controlled walls and sends them to you, I wish YOU could see how talented they can be on the outside. Then maybe YOU would understand what they can be like in reality. You are working in a controlled environment with them. Come join me in the squad car for a few nights. It might shed new light on what your "inmates" are truly capable of. YOU have NO idea what they are truly like. You control their every move. Why don't YOU move out onto the streets and see them in the uncontrolled environment instead of slamming those who fear for their lives on the outside because of your "talented inmate's" ability to cast fear into the innocent with their crimes.

Zuker,

You are so right. Matthew Macon was found guilty of multiple murders today. If I recall correctly, he was an early release whose "behavior" was "modeled". Whatever.

I'll take your word for it Zuker. No citizen ride along for me thanks. I hear enough of the bull$hit on the scanner.

It takes four seconds to look up names coming over the 150mhz. Most of them are parolee's who go right back to the crack. Be safe, Zuker. And thanks for working to TRY and keep our streets safe.

I know exactly what inmates are like my son is a guard for the State. These inmates are right where they belong. They may be talented but have no brains.They dont deserve anything they have. And the stupid women going to visit them,most of them have 3 or 4 and get all kinds of things. The stupid women dont know about each other. We neen the death penalty back.

No, unless you WORK in a prison, you have NO idea what the inmates are like. We are Officers, NOT guards...we don't guard inmates, we interact with them all day long...unlike a guard who sits by and just watches them. Not all inmates are alike either...some DO want to change and better themselves. It's people who don't give them a chance to better themselves that are the stupid ones in my opinion. Most inmates that get out have trouble finding jobs and end up going right back to what they remember...if people would try to help rehabilitate the ones who actually WANT to change...then it make a HUGE difference. But as I said before, unless you have worked in a prison, you have NO idea what it's like...no matter how many stories someone tells you about.

And if agencies who were SUPPOSE to help battered and distraught mothers who WANTED to change their situation WOULD HELP, maybe mothers wouldn't feel like they had no choice but suicide, homicide or leaving their children behind to get away from the scum of society.

Not all victims of abuse are alike either, Wendy. You sat in judgement of an abused mother and blamed her for the murder of her child conmitted by the father, yet you sit here and defend the f'ng scum of society who would do something similar?
Scum who commits unlawful acts against humanity?
Nicholas Bramans mother never broke the law.

Something is very wrong with your head girlie. Prison is not about "rehabilitation". It's meant to punish. And in punishing, it might serve as an example to others of what NOT to do.
Liberal do-gooders who created this feel good rehabilitaion bullcrap should be forced to live with these creeps outside of the secured walls.
Adopt one. Take one home with ya.

Wow, never have I before seen such an obviously accurate depiction of hypocrisy, as I have with your posts. Don't call yourself an "officer". "Officers" are to be respected. You are one step above a dog catcher.

I use to work with two women that sound alot like you Wendy. They both quit before they got fired because they fell in love with one of the guys. Hope it dont happen with you.

[Hmmm]

Sounds like it already has.
