Thank you ,sometimes Corrections is the forgotton child of law enforcment . We do a job that is unseen by the public and quite frankly the public does not want to know what we do as long as the bad guys stay behind bars.

This article is something that eavery corrections officer should keep in mind. Our safety comes first...no matter what the circumstance is.

Great advice! I will be going into Corrections soon and I appreciate all the help I can get in the behind the scenes advice!

I as a "Field Training Officer" always remind new Officers not to become Complacent, that our organization is very lucky not have had many serious incidents... That if you relax and forget where you are at the wrong time that it could result in a death.

Great reminder to all CO's.

I TO WAS A CORRECTION OFFICER HERE IN EAST TEXAS AND I HAVE SEEN OTHERE GUARDS LET THERE GUARD DOWN WITH THESE OFFENDERS AND I WAS NOT TO KEEN ABOUT IT AT ALL ,WHAT IS THIS TELLING THEM THE OFFENDER 'S YOU CAN HAVE FRIENDS ANY WERE, NOT ME TO SAY THE LEAST I CHANGED JOBS FOR THE BETTER.

I agree completely and remember stay Fair, Firm and Consistant. Inmates know if you are a good officer or able to be manipulated. The game starts the first time you enter the institution and doesn't end until your career does. BE SAFE!
