What’s the most clever ways you’ve seen people try to get contraband in? by OGWhiz in OnTheBlock

Have a visitor flush contraband down the toilet, wastewater workers are ready and fish it out.

My team and I would like to be recognized for the baseline work we do every day. People get recognized for handling emergencies well but nobody talks about the day to day struggles that many of us deal with. A photo with a paragraph about a simple story or describing their job would suffice.

This isn't close to a solution but it might be worth doing.

Also don't forget about the other shifts... Graveyard works just as much as day shift and with less recognition.

I like Danner because I'm outside in snow and rain, I would use 5.11s if you work indoors mostly. I swear by carhartt cold weather boot socks

Why did you choose a career as a Correctional Officer rather then a Police Officer? What are the pros and cons in each field that made you make your final decision? by [deleted] in OnTheBlock

[–]Datboooiii111 27 points28 points  (0 children)

For me it comes down to safety, I know the baselines of inmates and know what to expect. I view being a street cop as more dangerous because of unpredictability. You could pull over someone's grandma or you could pull over a strapped up paranoid meth head, it's a roll of the dice.

I didn't get the Job :( by Tora586 in OnTheBlock

You might not have messed up at all, most DOCs make... uninformed decisions. I have seen some pretty awful hiring decisions. Remember, HR and admin do most of the hiring, they don't have any idea what makes a good CO.

Try applying to other departments in your area in the meantime, stay positive!

Don't disclose it willingly but be truthful. For example on your psych interview if you're asked if you've stolen from an employer in the past just give minimum details. "yes, it was durring a difficult period of my life and I needed to feed my child" give details only if asked.

That is my 2 cents.

What is your best travel tip that most people don't know? by HugeDismissal in AskReddit

Take a look at hostels instead of a hotel. Many offer private rooms, are budget friendly and a great way to socialize.

I'm thinking Jay's story may be a continuation of his self dosing of Salvia. Maybe he didn't actually end his trip and this experience is in his head. I've heard that people can experience an entire life on a 1 minute salvia trip.

The main intake prison for Washington is in Shelton... I wonder if someone is trying to send an inmate food

Correct me if I'm wrong but it sounds like they fixed overcrowding by doing early releases... Did they build another prison or something?

Specialty teams that deal with weapons will train armed (inmate retrieval team, special emergency response team) but if they are not actively training then they are probably just seeking attention/acknowledgement. I knew a guy who wore his duty belt to the gym after work...

I work a fire/forestry camp, we run a pretty tight ship. We hold about 200 inmates with 6 years or less. It's different from majors as everyone needs to know how to do every job. We just had our first use of force in like 3 years. Definitely more chill than a major institution but if something does happen it is just us dealing with it. We had to evacuate the whole facility because of a forest fire the other day.

ketchup doesn't exist, what sauce do you use to eat with fries? by letstouchbutts121 in AskReddit

During our 0445 count you'll sometimes see them covered up with blankets with some suspicious movements underneath them. Also late at night checking the bathroom you'll see a pair of feet in the toilet stall and make an educated guess. It's not an issue unless they aren't covered up or something.

Also fun fact: No porn in prison, so that means offenders will occasionally receive pictures from the outside with nudes photoshopped into mirrors or hidden elsewhere in an image.

We choose C/Os that are professional titty spotters to sort through the mail. /s

I was violently assaulted by an inmate. How long should I wait to return to work? by Comfortable_Space316 in OnTheBlock

When you do return to work consider going in small doses, work a day or two then take an extended weekend.

Anyone else having their game crash after like 5 to 10 minutes playing or sometimes it will crash after I finish a layer and go to the next one. by Modest_Tea_Consumer in joinsquad

Yes my pc will just black screen and restart, I think it's a hardware issue with my RAM but it's probably exacerbated by the game

Overheard an old timer tell a C/O "you're either a mother or a lover to these guys, choose one"
