5 Tips all correctional staff should know when interacting with an inmate! 

I've been working the segregation unit at my prison a lot lately and I've been acting the same way. I'll be kind and respectful to them until they give me a reason not to be. There are a few legit headcases in there who tried pushing boundaries by getting me to do extra shit I wouldn't be willing to do (if I did it for them, I'd have to do it for everybody...), and when I made it clear I wouldn't budge, they'd fucking EXPLODE and start screaming at me lol. Threatening to kill me, kill themselves, kicking the doors, hunger striking, constantly screaming in an uncontrollable rage. Fuck those guys though, that sort of behavior and reaction is so over the top and unnecessary. The remaining 40-45 guys are all pretty understanding when I do have to say no, it's all in your tone, how you phrase it, and whether or not you listen to them. Some other COs will straight up say no or tell them to shut the fuck up before they've even finished what they were going to say. I'm only a few weeks in at this point, but I feel like I'm starting to build a pretty solid reputation in the units I've worked. Really just don't blatantly be an asshole, especially for no reason. Another thing I've noticed is the COs who are in good shape and obviously very muscular and strong tend to be the most chill and have the most respect, at my institution it's mainly the smaller out of shape skinny-fat type of guys who are trying to flaunt their badge and roleplay as RoboCop. One of them got punched in the face last week, and according to my supervisors and senior officers, ~99% of staff assaults are instigated and essentially asked for by the officer involved. I'm big as fuck, but I have no fighting experience and I'm well aware of that lol like you said; don't try to be someone you're not and you'll more than likely have no issues.

Spot on sir

Thank you Deon

Lol. We are very raw at times

Great advice rusty. I agree one hundred percent.

@@TierTalk in corrections have you ever thought about what youre really scared of is it the inmates is it just enforcing orders like you talked about in your last video is it being afraid that things are going to happen to you such as being raped stabbed or shot? are you afraid of just getting hurt in the middle of a fight? sometimes in corrections you just have to ask yourself what thing or what certain things am i afraid of ? i believe first if you realize whatever it is youre afraid of and aknowledge that it can help you feel less scared

Wow!!! That you for your kind words. This keeps me truly motivated. Enjoy the videos and welcome to the family

We love having you watch them.

Thank you for watching

That is great news. You found your purpose.

It was still awesome. Lol

People nation is an umbrella group that started in the mid west.

That is what he does best. Lol

So this was a long time ago but I honestly read your reply and had to answer. I don’t know what your facility is like but we not only have everything on camera. (There is only one room that inmates may be put in without a camera) not only is there cameras but they ALL have audio. And officers are very often listening. (The few things we don’t hear we rely on our informants to tell us.) Don’t get me wrong ofc you guys have shanks and shit among a lot of other stuff. Ik in my facility an officer has never been killed. And only two have ever even been hurt. All of us run a tight but respectful ship. Other than the sergeant ofc. Nobody fucks with her lmao

Hey Joe

We can try that topic.

@@TierTalk lol great Halloween 🎃 edition? I did it for about 5 years. I can honestly say I probably didn't do enough rounds, not that I was scared or nothing. 😥
