Drugs, Sex and Gangs Inside Rikers Island Prison | Informer

An ex-correction officer lifts the veil on the violence and dysfunction behind one of America’s most notorious jails housing inmates awaiting trial for murder, robbery and rape.
Having worked at Rikers jail for two years, the Informer shares the demoralizing working conditions, corruption and sexual harassment - all for just doing her job.
She reveals that regular cell tours turn ugly as inmates routinely pull out their penis and masturbate over her. One incident involves an inmate forcibly ripping a colleague's duty belt off to get into her pants. Drugs, weapons and alcohol are rampant as officers are selling them for quick cash, putting the Informer’s life at risk.
After trying to quit nearly four times to “stay in the fight”, she hits rock bottom and hands in her badge at a time when a mass exodus of staff were quitting too.

It isn’t just the owners of private prisons… that’s a small amount of people. It’s about how the system becomes a beast of itself, an almost living organism that want to survive and thrive. These government institutions aren’t like private businesses, they can’t fail, they refuse to downsize and can only grow. Imagine if a jail/prison population drops to 50%…they aren’t just gonna lay off half the COs, judges, police etc. they’re just going to proactively police. It’s like government budgets, they’ll always fill up the budget with bullshit just so the budget doesn’t drop next year.

My uncle was a Corrections Officer in a major Prison. The stories he would tell us would make you cringe. The violence and depravity which exists within the Prison System is beyond human imagination. My uncle was fortunate enough to live and "retire" --- but it cost him having a 'normal life' ; he never got married or had kids. He says that the "violence" he experienced on a daily basis would have affected his "private life" and he didnt want to put another human being through that --- especially children. He moved out to middle America and is now a "farmer" ---- with lots and lots of GUNZ which he calls his "children."

Unfortunately, none of this is unique to Rikers, and all of this, and more, has been happening in the prison system for decades. The worst part is, on top of all of the suffering and money down the drain, most of the time, we're usually just making people worse. 44% of federal inmates are in prison for drug offenses- maybe that's a good place to start making changes.

@PugkinSoup 2 года назад

Yep, In a lot of the western world our crime systems invite crime, making it so if someone commits one crime and now will have constant difficulty ever getting employed is just gonna cause them to turn back to crime. Iirc in Australia (which has that prison system) roughly 2/3 prisoners commit another crime after imprisonment. In Finland, where they actually bother to make the criminals functioning members of society, that number is only 1/3, a monumental change achieved by just treating humans like humans

It's not anymore than any other. There's too many criminals and not enough space. And as much as the interviewee cries about it they are not held out to dry. In just about every county or state jail if any inmate assaults or disrespects a CO they get a beat down on the spot and usually their dorms raided so the other inmates can beat them up later as well. Guards often operate like a gang themselves and I don't blame them but there is a reason most stick it out and gain rank.

I've been to Rikers Island multiple times. Its mostly female officers. There are stabbings, cuttings, beatings every day. I remember there was a huge sign next to the water fountain that said something to the effect of "its you're human right to have running water, if there is no running water call this number". The water would barely have enough force to gurgle up from the fountain and drip down the side of the fountain making it literally impossible to drink from unless you licked it off the dirty fountain. I called the number and tried to report it and they said that it was technically "RUNNING" even though it wasn't possible to drink from it. THE CORRECTION OFFICERS ARE THE ONES BRINGING IN ALL THE DRUGS AND WEAPONS. Thats how you get it even when they suspended visits. I had an officer ask me if I wanted anything including newports, suboxone, heroin, cocaine, weed, k2, alcohol, and even would let me rent her personal cell phone to make calls that weren't being recorded. Its crazy because most of these people who are incarcerated are going to be getting out at some point. When you are there it feels like no one cares.

So, let me get this straight... Rikers' captains hire COs, expect them to prevent all kinds of situations, blame them for incidents, always side with inmates because they want no bad publicity, and don't provide SOs with resources (1 SO per 50 inmates is nuts), and then wouldn't let them quit? And all that while SOs probably get awful pay and are at risk of mental health issues that may at some point escalate to suicide? Hmmmmm... Yeah, I wish all of them quit. Also, when this lady said she was asked to work 24-hour shifts, I wanted to scream: girl, it is NOT your responsibility to keep the prison staffed; it's the employer's. I hope this lady finds peace and gets emotional & mental support.

I worked there in the nineties. GRVC. Basically the same situation-my Warden had two sexual harassment cases against him. A lot of COs had relations with each other. Mandated overtime. Basically every bad business practice there is…goes on there. The more I learned about the place the less safe I felt. I broke my hand in a use of force with an inmate-my Deputy warden told me to call in sick if I wanted to go to the hospital. None of the Captains wanted to sign an overtime slip.

Second the staff are just like the inmates in terms of being in cliques and being very unprofessional. The jail houses WREAK of marijuana, finally it’s pretty much impossible to stick to the book, pretty much everyone from the 2015 class left by 2017, when I left a month later a captain was slashed and the union president was arrested.

A COs job is definitely more stressful and dangerous than a police officer's job. No gun, no blackjack, no backup, no sleep, always outnumbered, and living with unstable and violent people. Inmates are quick to tell you that you live in jail too, you're locked in there with them. I worked on Rikers in the women's facility as a male non-uniformed civilian employee; when you start, you get assigned to whatever building they need you in. Also spent time in the other buildings which are all men's facilities. There are A LOT of female COs who do not want to work in the women's jail. There are A LOT of women COs who handle themselves just fine in the men's jails. The woman in this video is definitely accurate about the happenings on the island but it sounds like her threshold for this place was understandably pretty low, respectfully.

@the_local_bigamist 2 года назад

Its not as simple as that. Prisons - especially private ones - have been stripped to the bone so that they are nothing but big buildings full of criminals with a whole criminal culture which comes before any meaningful attempts at rehabilitation. The staff often become a part of that criminal culture, as the woman said, which helps to perpetuate the cycle. I can only think of one person out of many that came out of prison and changed for the better and that was simply because of something changing inside of him - the prison system didn't care. As with everything, there needs to be huge reform and one of the main things that needs to happen is that prisons have to be taken out of private interests, because putting profit before the wellbeing of human beings - whether guilty or innocent, such as this woman - will do nothing but perpetuate the cycle of criminality that lands people in and out of jail. The old revolving door. Look at how they do it in Norway and other Scandinavian countries. Also look at their crime rates, reoffending rates and rehabilitation stories. Obviously the things that are being done correctly there is what the system is failing at in America and other countries, such as where I am, in Britain. It is a serious crisis which is getting worse and needs urgent action.
