Yesterday was not good
Yesterday I was on a building that nothing worked. No speakers, no remote, and so hot and smelly. It is strange, we spend so much money on prisons but then we don't keep them up. All offenders are supposed to have access to there cells once an hour. You do what is called an in and an out. You walk door to door putting all the inmates that want in there cell into their cell, then you start over going door to door letting them all out. It takes from fifteen to twenty minutes. That is not a hard thing to do. Once an hour you bring the remote from tv to tv. The inmates stay pretty calm on the wings even in 100 plus weather if they are given what they are supposed to have. Well, with no speakers, any offender called out for anything you have to walk up and down stairs door to door to find and inmates are called out all day long. Needless to say the inmates did not get all the ins and outs they were supposed to. There was no time. Add to that we had no remote on the building and I had to leave my building and walk about a block to get a remote from another building and then walk back to return it. They got very few channel checks either. Add to that in my morning shake down where we search the common area for contraband, I found there stash of about five gallons on wine. There hated that. It was about ready to drink. I got called every name they could think of. Add to that a picket boss who was trying to read a book and not open doors for us. It made for a very stressful day. Some days it is hard to maintain you Christian attitude. Yesterday was on of them.
