I had to give a urinalysis test to an inmate today. He refused to comply stating....

"YOU piss in the cup, then stick your tounge in to test it, Mu-fu****!!"

I have to admit, that was pretty funny.




....I havent tryed it yet to see if it works.

Don't do it.

So the inmates are "allowed" to talk to you anyway they want, without punishment?

Interesting.

What's he supposed to do whack him with his club? I would imagine they talk crap all the time.

Actually they're not...heres how it goes....

Inmate-"F*** YOU, DEP!"
Me-"Stop using abusive language please."
Inmate-"F*** YOU!"
Me-go and write 20 min worth of paperwork (essentially increasing my workload) "violating" said inmate and suggesting 15 days cell restriction with no inmate store items (inmates here are allowed to buy things such as chips, candy, and other junk food items with profits going to the jail...assinine, but true), no visitation, and no recreation (b-ball court twice a week)

Now depending on if the inmate actually CARES or not...he either allows the violation to go thru and gets his store items from another inmate with a money account and pays them back with lunch trays or whatever, OR he appeals the violation which goes to jail security and they decide whether or not to allow the violation thru...but the sentance is normallly lowered.

3-violations=solitary confinement...rarely enforced.

Basically, I simply cut tv's and "forget" to give them phone priviledges when they act up...since the jail punishment system is a joke. Sometimes THAT gets the point across.

They do.

Show you how much the american jail system sucks?
it used to be so much better when it used to be a punishment not rehibilitaton

Problem with jail punishment, is that it assumes that the violators are civilised and conform to the same rules that you and I do.

They dont. Typically, most inmates that are "trouble" are about as civilised as a bobcat...but smarter.

They dont think the rules apply to them and have 24 hours a day to think about how to get around silly rules that the jail sets down. (such as taking away their snack chip orders)

The problem is that the Sheriff is normally an elected official that needs to keep the voting public happy. The voting public unfortunatly includes...scum.

Unfortunatly, Inmate contentment is actually an issue. If it was me, and I didnt need to depend on the public to keep me in office...inmate attitude would determine the quality of their stay.

Quiet inmate that obeys the rules=Approved TV programming, snack foods (for profit in the jail) full hot meals that they now get, recreation, and education availiability.

Animalistic A-hole inmate that causes trouble=6'by6' dark room with no windows or toilet but with a large drain in the middle. Bread/Water, and no clothes/blanket/bed. Cement floor.

I.E.-behave, or else.

Remind me not to get arrested and sent to your jail.

You like Phoenix's sheriff, don't ya? I can't argue with his theory of housing inmates in tents and feeding them bologna sandwiches, "if it's good enough for our troops in WW2, it's good enough for the inmates."

Wait, why aren't they all just chained up in solitary confinement?

I'm fairly sure that if you're going to jail, which one you're going to is probably the least of your worries.
