      ​@@snox90kmthat is true at my home county jail.. there was this younger African American c.o. no older than 25 and he was from the same hood the same city the jail was in... he was cool as could be all his brothers eithier were in prison or currently had been and he just ssaid. He was trying to go a different route and being a c.o. was easy money until he finished community college/found a better GOOD job But he knew he had to keep a clean criminal record to reach those goals. He let us do whatever as long as it wasn't dangerous and would talk to us for hrs. And even knew alot of the same ppl. We did being our age.. 💯 never heard from him after I got released hope he reached his goals successfully!

    Great interview.. I went from being offered a job as a PA correction officer to being in jail 3 times… the guards really make all the difference…. There are great ones and super corrupt ones… but that’s exactly the same problem with the state police.. I’m a conservative… wanted to be a police officer… but dealt with, and am still dealing with the absolute trash of law enforcement, and DA. I live in PA, and was in 2 of the prisons mentioned in this podcast.. never had a problem with the guards.. but definitely had a problem with corrupt cops abusing power and ruining lives… jail is absolutely awful, especially when your an addict.. I sat in jail 3 times for months for charges that were completely dropped, I will never get that time back.. in a country of “innocent until proven guilty “ is completely garbage. We have learned this time and time again.. no you guilty, and get to rot until the judge gets to your case… not to mention corruption in the DA’s office knowing what they are doing is wrong, but they would rather you plead down your charges than take it to court, to meet quotas.

    I work at a jail currently. For the tablets at my facility they get rented for $7.50/month I believe and they can make calls, email, text from their cells and watch movies. Everything they have to pay for is expensive.
    Emails and texts are monitored. They can rent movies but they only get the movie for 24 hours I believe

      I don’t think people should get bashed. You’d have to meet me to know, and if we ever meet in a corrections setting, you might change your preconceived notion. Knocking folks down, who are down, isn’t power. Like stated, lifting folks up, and aiding in the idea of the block life is bs if you want to have a LIFE is more important.
