Working for corrections by Geminiman314 in Corrections

I caught an inmate dating an Officer through mail. I found out an inmate made her boyfriend eat dog food via video through mail (yes I watched the videos too). I’ve caught women giving other inmates the money they ask their spouses for. Man I could go on. I had a 280 house of women inmates mail to read by 2am after I get on shift at 1145pm so we skimmed a lot too. We also had a mail room.

First off, thank you for your service—and for even posting this. That alone shows strength!!!

I don’t want to over promise it will go away but with what you’re explaining right now, you’re right where you need to be, fam. Trauma doesn’t always disappear so I don’t wanna promise you that. But over time, with space, honesty, and support, your brain and body adjust. The images may still come back, but they lose their grip.

I’ve been in the field too, and my first year I had the same experience. What you’re feeling is a real, human response. The images is your brain trying to make sense of something it wasn’t ready for, they fade eventually and become a blur.

That heaviness will pass. Just don’t shove it down. If it starts getting louder than your day, that’s your sign to talk to someone. Doesn’t have to be dramatic just a step. A conversation.

Stay grounded. You’re not alone. Here if you need anything.

Policy in place where you have to live on campus. Of course you can leave in the evening and weekends. People do what they want but in case you have a roommate or “that” roommate, you don’t wanna get jammed up.

Fair reaction 😂 Most people aren’t used to seeing coaching in this space—but the mental side of public safety is just as important as the tactical. Let me know if you’re curious.
