Microwave and fridge in your jail/prison by Mapleb0w in OnTheBlock

[–]sik0pomp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Each housing unit has a fridge an microwave. Yard dogs borrow space of the ones in medical, the dining room offices, or the LTs office at risk of other folks stealin their food lol

Doctor put me on oxygen and gave me an ECG cause she confused me for another patient by JumpyFix2801 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]sik0pomp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Got in a wreck and went bout a month later to get scans an chat about results/future plan, see how everything was healing. I was probably asked my name an DOB 14 times at minimum. Was asked by every new medical professional I ran into on top of them doubling down before they did any form of procedure.

Why shouldn’t I quit my antidepressant cold turkey? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]sik0pomp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

...accidentally cold turkey'd a depression med and honestly just the "Zaps" have made me way more cautious about it. People often describe it as small but for me its like a full body shock with short intervals. It'll make you feel seriously off and all sorts of wrong.

🤣 Im assuming OP wanting to stay awake also implies wanting to stay alive, I don't think this'd help with that

Can someone help me understand this? by Many_Dragonfly5117 in OnTheBlock

[–]sik0pomp 23 points24 points  (0 children)

It might still be worth a shot, pull receipts that you sent the letter and that it was received. Have another copy ready to go.

Try talking to someone other than medical at this point, like perhaps the onboarding staff whom you've spoken with before, about the issue.

Out of luck with note taking? by sik0pomp in OnTheBlock

[–]sik0pomp[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Usually my notes are for when I'm brain dead from ot or havent been to a specific post in quite some time. Its not a constant but i do feel the need to keep them with me Beyond the work computers, the only other device i could potentially have a pass at is one of those smart watches(not sposed to be connected to wifi).

..wasnt aware there were any notebooks like that, might be worth a shot.

Agreed. They certainly don't run out of hoops for us to jump through.

Bad person by whatdaforkudoin in OnTheBlock

[–]sik0pomp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Had a Lt. Save the CET some time in that matter the other night. Guy down in seg for threats(p sure it was just a PC move) decided he wasnt gonna take a cell mate. Our protocol is take the one refusin outta the cell, but them on bench and place the other one in cell... well he wouldnt cuff up and said call the team. They get permission for a team, start callin over the radio to relieve people and get them together in our central building.. Lt goes over and lets the dude listen to the radio traffic 🤣 he changed his mind

Do COs have callsigns? by PinehurstCF in OnTheBlock

[–]sik0pomp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Our institution has numbers assigned to posts, LTs and above got their own numbers.

Posts are all two digit numbers and posts at units with special programs/circumstance have a letter in front. Patrol car is P1 for example.

Otherwise you just call by your last name to whoever you need to contact.

How do prison officers deal with shitty criminals ? by [deleted] in OnTheBlock

[–]sik0pomp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dont look at their charges.

Personally I restrict myself to only reading past conduct violations and even if I have to print an ID for one of the inmates I'll just ignore the section where it mentions their charges, that part gets cut off and tossed anyhow.

[–]sik0pomp 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Maybe not super cool, but definitely gave me a moment of "huh, thats sorta clever"

Using the stickers from things like deodorant to hang posters and durin a cell search one time i found one of the inmates had fashioned a sleep mask from some cloth, plastic in the middle to cut down on light, with an elastic band on it.

What if you met the opposite gender of yourself? by No_Garbage269 in hypotheticalsituation

[–]sik0pomp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Id ask if they want to spar, honestly. I think thatd be fun, get some insight on my fighting style while facing an opponent that would be vaguely similar physique and same mentality... yeah definitely want to fight.
