WAR
2006-07-25, 12:17 a.m.

THINGS ARE GETTING VERY UGLY AT THE JAIL. WE GET BACK UP CALLS CONSTANTLY ON OUR SHIFT. SOME OF THE OFFICERS FROM OTHER SHIFTS ARE WANTING TO SWITCH TO OUR SHIFT BECAUSE OF THE ACTIVITY LEVEL.
ALL I KNOW IS THAT I'M BEAT BY MY 6 DAYS ON.

OUR MAYOR IS CLAIMING WE HAVE NO GANG WARS HAPPENING IN OUR TOWN.
PERHAPS HE SHOULD COME SPEND A WEEK LOCKED UP. THEN TELL THE PEOPLE THERE IS NO GANG ACTIVITY!
THE THING ABOUT THE REPORTING OF CRIME IS MISLEADING. THE VICTIMS DON'T REPORT FOR FEAR OF RETALIATION, OR IF THEY DO CALL THE POLICE, DEPENDING ON WHERE THE CRIME HAPPENED, THE POLICE WILL WARN THEM OF THE RAMIFICATIONS OF SUCH ACTIONS.

I DON'T KNOW WHY WE AREN'T TAKING A HARSHER STANCE AGAINST THESE PROBLEMS. I THINK THEY MAY THINK IF THEY DON'T ACKNOWLEDGE THE SITUATION, THEN IT DOESN'T EXIST.

WE HAD A SHAKE DOWN LAST WEEK IN 1 CELL AND FOUND SEVERAL SHANKS. INSTEAD OF BEING COMMENDED ON THE FIND, THE WARDEN BITCHED AT HOW THEY WENT ABOUT IT.
AT LEAST SOMEONE HAD POSTED A PICTURE OF THE SHANKS BY THE TIME CLOCK, AND WROTE UNDERNEATH IT WHAT OTHER JAILS WOULD DO, AND QUESTIONED WHAT OURS WAS GOING TO DO?
AND DO YOU KNOW WHAT WAS DONE? THE MOST AGGRESSIVE REPERCUSSION CAME WHEN THE WARDEN TORE THE PICTURE DOWN FROM THE WALL! NOTHING AND I MEAN NOTHING WAS DONE ABOUT THE SHANK INCIDENT, UNLESS YOU COUNT MOVING THE INMATES FROM THE CELL AND BLOCK THEY WERE HOUSED.

ALL THIS WEEK WE'VE BEEN DEALING WITH FIGHTS. WHEN WE PULLED THE INMATES OUT OF THEIR BLOCKS, THE OTHER INMATES START CLOGGING UP THEIR TOILETS TO CREATE A HUGE FLOOD IN THE BLOCK AND SOMETIMES NUMEROUS BLOCKS AT A TIME.
WE'LL SEND DETAIL (TRUSTED INMATES WHO WORK AROUND THE PRISON) TO MOP UP THE WATER, AND THEN THE INMATES START RIPPING PAPER AND TOSSING THAT ON THE WET FLOOR.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT BECOMES OF THAT MESS, WE JUST LET IT ON OUR SHIFT.
BUT NOTHING IS DONE!!! NOTHING IS TAKEN AWAY FROM THEM. NOTHING

A COUPLE OF DAYS AGO WE HAD 2 NEW COMMITMENTS. THE POLICE KNEW THEY WERE LATIN KINGS, THEY TOLD US BEFORE WE WENT TO PICK THEM UP. THEY HAD HIGH BAIL AND OUR WHITE SHIRTS ONLY SENT ONE VAN TO PICK THEM UP BUT NO TRAIL CAR!!!!
GRANTED THE ONE OFFICER WAS ARMED BUT HELL IT COULD HAVE BEEN A SET UP!!!!NOT ONLY COULD IT OF BEEN A SET UP, BUT THEY COULD HAVE BEEN WEARING A GUN, THAT PASSES OFF AS NECKLACE. THAT'S HOW SMALL GUNS ARE NOW OF DAYS.
WHEN I WENT DOWN TO ESCORT THE FEMALE TO THE INTAKE AREA, HER BOYFRIEND KEPT TELLING HER TO BE COOPERATIVE AND THINGS WOULD GO EASY FOR HER. WHEN I TOOK HER BACK TO DO A STRIP SEARCH, I EVEN MADE HER REMOVE HER BLACK UNDERWEAR. I FIGURED I'D STRIP HER OF ALL HER COLORS INSTEAD OF WAITING FOR THE CHAPLIN TO GIVE HER WHITE UNDERWEAR.
YOU COULD TELL THIS WAS HER FIRST TIME BEING ARRESTED AND PLACED IN JAIL. SHE IS TERRIFIED BEING IN GENERAL POPULATION. SOME OF THE INMATES FIND IT HARD TO BELIEVE SHE WAS INVOLVED IN PISTOL WHIPPED SOME GUY, BUT YET SHE WAS. THEY BOTH ADMITTED TO THE CRIME.
THE REALLY STUPID THING IS THEY PLACED THE BOYFRIEND IN WITH CRIP'S!

VINNY IS BECOMING A BIT STRESSED WITH ME WORKING AT THE PRISON. HE SAID HE SEES NO DIFFERENCE WITH ME IN THERE OR GOING TO WAR IN ANOTHER COUNTRY.
