Dozens of officers have been arrested at facilities statewide, accused of profiting from the sale of contraband in prison and having sexual relationships with inmates.

This happens in EVERY prison across America. I was a C/O & later a Correctional Counselor in southern California for 27 years. I saw plenty of it. As long as prison system keep hiring substandard employees this will continue. Most of them were black officers.

It’s the same everywhere. They’re too understaffed to have any standards so they dig themselves out by hiring anything with a pulse. This in turn makes the environment impossible to work within for better candidates who are actually worth anything. My favorites were the female officers who were like kids in a candy store. Many were unattractive with low self esteems but I can remember several who could have easily found a high value man on the outside. I always wondered how many become HIV positive as a result of shopping the prison candy store. I moved on to an aviation field where people have to work hard toward gaining certification and useful work experience. Never mind corrections. It’s always going to be a dead end.

Better pay would help to attract candidates who are genuinely promising but a problem still remains. The low skill no skill bottom of the barrel people they desperately hire to fix the understaffing problem make the environment too toxic for the better candidates the raises are meant to attract. Case in point: We had a captain with severe masculinity issues. He started out as a nothing at all low ASVAB score loser in the military who raged at veterans who had better opportunities because of their superior brain pans. I ran afoul of ole captain Rambo just for qualifying for an attractive military contract when I chose to re enlist toward a reserve unit. He was so emotional about it that he seemed to hyperventilate while not being able to form sentences as he screamed at me in front of coworkers and inmates. He was insanely vengeful from that point on. His behavior toward male officers if female officers were present was absolutely psychotic. He was always in competition mode to the point of not being able to function as an OIC. One of the sergeants had to give the boy a spanking because captain grunt freaked out about the sergeant having a work related conversation with a mildly attractive female officer in his presence. He talked real big as the man who actually inspired the Rambo movies but he had strangely spent his entire enlistment getting out of deployments while everyone else volunteered to go. Try to imagine working in a place where little girls with something to prove like that guy are common and in charge. Prisons are nearly impossible to work in because of the employees. The inmates aren’t actually that hard to deal with at all.

If you didn't physically hurt someone you shouldn't be in prison. Probation, heavily fined and rehab type of classes. Do it again then prison. Stop putting everyone in prison. We need serious prison reform. It's just a money maker for the states and career advancement for prosecutors. It's a scam. I'm a former officer. I quit due to the poor treatment of human beings. It needs to change.

@Sarah Carpenter unfortunately I know far more of this than you can imagine. In fact yesterday I was reading a long court case summary of a female guard and let's just say she did it all. Good site & free no ads advocacy org Marshall Project. They do get caught (it's supposed to be a felony for the guards ha ha) but the bottom line is they Always blame the prisoners. When I challenge them (there's a channel about bad guards done by a retired "good" guard) they flip it and say well..they pay for it. As to slap on wrist that's true for most/all cops.

Now this digital mail crap a lot of my prison family has had no one sending them a bd card, stamps, envelopes, anything til God brought us together, I’ve made a different in their lives. Not I can no longer send them supplies, if I send them a card they have to pay to get a copy of it , more money being made by the FDOC . I did what chapter 33 said I could do . Then of special days I would send each resident 10 pre stamp cards that they could send to loved ones. But FDOC wasn’t making money off what I was doing so they stopped it all . Those cards means a lot to all down there cause if my Florida boy/gal couldn’t use they was given to others that needed them . With no charge just a ty so many was shocked when my family boys didn’t want nothing for the card.

They FDOC took the mail and turned it into digital yet contraband is still being found in the prison. How is this happening FDOC. ? Give them back their right and return chapter 33 to the way it was. Nothing that you have done is working , I am or was an advocate for 70 Florida inmates , I would send the cards to send to their loved ones or to hand out to those who has no one that could help them .I sent them supplies such as stamps, envelopes, paper , even that was stopped. This crap was done for no other reason than control , for contraband is still being smuggled into the prisons,I followed the rules and never did a darn thing wrong yet my boys/ gals plus myself got punished because of the FDOC OFFICERS. They knew who was doing it , did they go to prison , nope from what I heard they got a slap on the wrist and place into another facility. Now how does that work. Prices are getting so high in there that it won’t be long and no inmate will be able to buy nothing . Another control make they go in debt to keep them confined. Rotten system . They are to buy stamps and envelopes from canteen , what a job half the time there any to be bought . I want the mail like it was I gave many their hopes and dreams back even brought. Some back to God . I pray for the day God tears ll those prisons down and leaves the inmates standing. Then He goes to the homes of those that has done wrong to all these inmate and they don’t have a darn thing left but the clothes on their backs, I give my revenge to God and my hate for these people and their abusive prison system . Not all are bad and I Thank Them for being a human to another human being . May God Bless You and Your Family . I

Isaiah 53:5, he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes, we are healed. For salvation, we just need to follow the way they did it in Acts? They were baptized in water for the removal of sins and filled with the Holy Ghost. Acts 2:38! Here's why! The gospel is the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. 1 Corinthians 15:1-4. If we are to follow him, we must do the same thing. Death= repentance, Burial = baptism, and resurrection = being filled and rising again from the dead and walking in the newness of life. That's what Acts 2:38 is. We must obey the gospel, 2 Thessalonians 1:8-9, in flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that OBEY NOT THE GOSPEL of our Lord Jesus Christ... Matthew 7:21-23, Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that DOETH THE WILL OF MY FATHER which is in Heaven. St John 3:3-5, EXCEPT a man, be born of WATER AND OF THE SPIRIT, he cannot enter into the kingdom of GOD. We can't come up with our own gospel. Galatians 1:8-9, But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed. Don't be cursed. One way for all people. Jews, Gentiles, and Samaritans. Our salvation has to match up with the scriptures and no scriptures on the subject can be taken away. Eternity is TOOO long to be WRONG! st, John 5:39, Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me. The gospels show what Christ has done on the cross for us. The book of Acts shows us the beginning of Christ's Church and how to enter the Church, obeying Acts 2:38. The letters were written to the Church to show us how to behave now that we are born again into the Church. It's better to walk alone than to walk with a crowd going in the wrong direction. Are we supposed to follow the teachings of the apostles? Acts 2:42, And they continued steadfastly in the apostle's doctrines. Ephesians 2:20, We are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief cornerstone. Don't get Titus 3:5 mixed up with James 2:14-26, about WORKS. One is a WORK of your OWN RIGHTEOUSNESS OR GOOD DEEDS and the other is a WORK OF FAITH. Titus 1:16, They profess that they know God; but in WORKS they deny him, being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate. God bless you
