They are not making the cell phones in the craft shop and they aren’t growing marijuana, on the rec yard. Corrupt TDCJ, Wyndham and UTMB employees bring that in to their homeboys and their boyfriends.
As far as being weak, tolerant and permissive of inappropriate inmate behavior, that’s as big of a problem as corruption. It’s a way of life, that comes down from the very top. Friendliness is preached in preservice and reinforced in inservice. Friendliness is embedded in agency policy.
If you put your hands on one of their little darlings, they don’t approach it from the standpoint that the inmate is a lying convicted felon. They look at it and say “How can we make this the bosses fault”? Never mind that the bastard threw piss in your face, threatened your family, spit on you, kicked you, punched you and he had a shank in his waistband.
And they pretend like they don’t understand why the agency is 8,000 bosses short. They know darn well why we are short. For the record, I believe the number is closer to 12K or maybe even 15K short. I remember when we opened up Ellis II. We had bosses tripping over each other.
