Come on | When is Enough?

The prison we are staying in called Pulaski State Prison has went down over a period of years. It's not because of our upper staff. Pulaski State Prison has been going through so many transition constantly changing warden and staff. Which is nothing wrong with that. But if another leader has to come in clean up other's mess. It could take decades to undo what someone else has done.

Our past Warden didn't care how her staff talk to inmates. Now we have a new warden. The staff still have that same mindset to talking down and verbal abuse the inmates behind the new warden's back. A lot of inmates gets in trouble because the staff members starts confusion with the inmate then turn it around like it was the inmate's fault.

Pulaski State inmates are being violated in so many ways. We always being threaten for foolish reason. Such as if one inmate curse the staff out. Everybody get told I am not going to have inmates cursing my staff out. 99.9% officer curses the inmate out. Then in return the inmate curse the staff back out. To me, it appears that both individuals are at fault. Because there are professional ways you can handle a situation with a inmate. By procedure/policy the inmate suppose to receive a insubordinate disciplinary report. But what happens at Pulaski State Prison. The officer gets off. The inmate gets fully punished.

Which leaves the door open for officers' continue in their unprofessional behavior. When it should have been dealt with from the beginning. Recently we had a officer to commit crimes within the institution. How many times he had been reported by inmates but nobody did anything because inmates doesn't do nothing but lie. We have officers who are too lazy even make rounds. But they are documenting it in the log book. Every 30 minutes they are making their rounds.
