Corruption Officer Read Online Free PDF

that this was going to be a dilemma for me.   I was told that Officers, such as myself, who were born and raised in neighborhoods where there
is a high contingent of individuals with criminal backgrounds, will see at
least five to ten people they know within the first week of working in the
jails.   If you encounter someone that you
know you’d better see them before they see you because they will shout you out.   I was told that the professional way to
deal with this is to write a report to administration requesting that the
inmate be moved to another facility.   Again
like I said if your neighborhood was like mine,
you were going to see hundreds upon thousands of inmates that you knew.   That’s a lot of report writing and to some Officers
it sort of raises a red flag as to what kind of person you were if you know a
lot of these kinds of people.  
    The other conventional way of handling the situation goes as
follows:   if you see an inmate that you
know and you know that this particular individual not only knows you but knows
all of your dirty little secrets, you must approach this inmate and let them
know that you’re an Officer now and that they can’t expect any special
treatment.   If they get loud and
disrespectful then you take matters to the next level.   You smack them, spray their face with mace
and yell “ Man , I told you about coming in and
out of this place!   Now respect my job!”  
    Slight exaggeration but close to the truth.   Corrections want you to treat inmates like
inmates no matter who they are.   As a Corrections
Officer you’d better learn how to balance personal life with job life or you’re
going to be in a world of trouble.   This
is why it made sense.   It’s simple.   You got this job with the purpose of getting
ahead in life and bettering your situation.   People sell their souls for opportunities such as these.   You have lived in the Projects all your life,
kept your nose clean so that when jobs like these became available, you
qualified. You’re in now and you’re not going to blow it.   Yeah baby, just cruise the next twenty years
and you’re in the clear.   Hello pension!

    The next rule that I found confusing was, “Use of force.”   This is the right to kick ass rule.
    They gave use different scenarios in which we could use
force and how much.   A lot of the
Caucasian recruits paid close attention to this lesson foaming at the mouth and
shit.
    It makes sense that if you’re going to be working in a jail,
which is always a hostile environment, excluding the inmates, that you should
be able to defend yourself.   The first
thing that was said is that you should always try to defuse a hostile
situation.   We were to utilize our I.P.C.
skills (Interpersonal Communication Skills).   This meant always talk your way out of either giving an ass-whipping or
receiving one.   Either way, they wanted us
to talk first.   I thought to myself, ‘So
let me get this straight, if I am working in a housing area and Jerome Thomas aka
“Killa J” from the group home, is standing in front of me with several bodies
laid out in front of him and blood dripping from his mouth because he bit off
someone’s ear, I am supposed to utilize my I.P.C. skills and say, “So, who do
you think the Knicks are going to get in the trade this year?”   I just could not grasp after all the horror
stories I’d heard and after my first visit to the jail that they would have me
talk to the inmate instead of handcuffing him to a pole and beating the spit
out of him - just kidding.  
    On a serious note, I did learn that you just can’t go around
the jail beating up on inmates for no reason because if your “I’s” are not dotted
and your “T’s” are not crossed you can get in a lot of trouble. You are to use
force as a last resort if everything else has failed.   If the Knicks get a bad trade or Patrick Ewing
misses another layup then BAM!   Right
upside Mr.
