With all due respect I am a tax payer to and I am a correctional officer also. It is easy to cast judgement if you haven't had the chance to walk in some one elses shoes. Any time an escape happens or an officer is arrested it gives all correctional employees a black eye. It is hard to explain what we go through to some one that has never worked in a prison setting. FRom working short handed and having to take short cuts all the while the admin. knows whats going on and turns a blind eye telling the public that we are fully staffed but they don't tell you that they have cut our staffing plan thus making us have to take short cuts which is all good until something bad happens then they shift the blame to every one but themselves. They preach morals and ethics and it is a shame they don't practice what they preach and take responsabilty for their short comings instead of shifting the blame for everything bad that happens in the agency.
