I just retired yesterday from working at a maximum security prison for over 30 years. Ask me a question.

I was lucky. I have the oldtime pension. All these new guys only get the 401k, with very little healthcare for retirement. It makes me sick.

haha. I never did like cornbread.

and who is most likely to be a victim or bitch in prison?

I'll do an early one at the end of this month but my MSP was a school district for 26 yrs and at a pork plant for 15 yrs before that. 19 days left with 11 sick days I'll use intermittently.

Thanks for that answer. Your work was not easy.

PTSD of different magnitude or degree is everywhere, not just from war zone experiences.

Life changes everybody but our essence doesn’t change.

Uncover that original you again, he’s still there. Enjoy retirement.

Sometimes there are some that remind me of an the mentality of an inmate from a maximum security prison.

from Kincheloe ?

?

CO CO.. I need some toilet paper.

I started there. Transferred out.

Did you feel like a prisoner during your workday?.....I turned down a job working as a locksmith in a prison....the idea of being locked in at a prison is just too depressing....

oh God.haha. There was this wierd prisoner that horded toilet paper.

My x wife became a prison guard.That's why she became my x.

Yes at times i did. I am still having dreams of the place. I dream of the fights, dream that i am a prisoner in bellychains. I wake up all fucked up.

LSSU Hockey fan by chance?

was you one of the co's that treated prisoners like garbage all day, get off work get drunk beat your wife??

I love videos of Pekko when he jamms on his jouhikko with effects. He is like jimmy hendrix of the jouhikko world.

Did you ever feel any inmates were there unjustly? If so, were they treated different?

Did you make friends or have acquaintance with any inmates?

How were the crime the inmates committed, hidden from other inmates or were they?



What is one of your favorite experiences working as a CO?

What is one of your worst?


Cool thread OP. Congrats on retirement.

No i never treated anyone like shit. Not my style.I treat everyone with respect upon first meeting. I just went there to get a paycheck. It was difficult though. When a prisoner throws cum,piss shit at you i would kill them if i could have. There were cameras everywhere. You just would have to take it and write a ticket.

Any suggestions on what they could do differently to help inmates walk out in a more sane and productive manner?

And, thanks for your service.

Do pedos get what they deserve?

do you believe in the death penalty?

Kudos to you for being able to retire from it..... I guess I made the right decision.....the benefits looked nice, but the oppressive energy working there would slowly kill me.....I didn't like institutional work anyway, its all the same locks and hardware.....boring...

Enjoy your retirement!

Honest question: do you think it'd be better off if they were culled, or do you think they still have a chance at redemption.

Good job on quitting cigarettes and starting working out! Live long and prosper op. So proud of you for sticking with your job for that long and making it to retirement.

Yes when i worked at a level 1 prison for 1 year. Alot of them should not be in prison. Drug charges.No child support,to many drunk drivings . I met this black guy that got 4 years in prison on a cocaine charge. His white friend in college whose parents were rich got no jail even . Shit like that is sick. Never did make friends with an inmate. Just general talk. I worked on a prison work crew for 6 years. Some off the prisoners were some of the best carpenters,construction workers that got caught up in meth,alcohol.
Worst. Big gang fight between the mexicans and the aryans over some fake heroin. Shanks involved. Many fights. Many suicide attempts Blood squirting all over the wall from a suicide attempt. Oh yeah self mutilation inmates. Saw some fucked up shit.

.

I think many of the maximum security prisoners will never change.The horrible crimes of violence and torture toward other humans and animals. I would pull the switch myself for those sick fucks.They are wired a certain way.

The weak.Someone that will not fight back.
