This happens when “you’re selling your soul, working all day, overtime hours for bullshit pay.” and you’re still there at 70. This is America. This is the new world we live in.

When I word at ICE in Florence, AZ, one section of the prison rioted in 2014. They finally told them they would go to the local MacDonalds and get them whatever they wanted and bring it back and they calmed down. lol

Nope, everything is fine, the labor supply problem and the current inflation rate is perfectly manageable.(sarcasm)

We just had a 19yo arrested. He was a correctional officer in the county jail siphoning through contraband to the prisoners. His colleagues ripped his uniform off him and displayed it when he got caught.

A least they didn’t also demand to be given those little toys that are supposed to go with children’s Happy Meals.

It is amazing how hot food can calm a situation. One thing the Warden of Alcatraz insisted on was that the food be the same for prisoners and staff and that the food was first class.

Ya, it’s much better to have 27 year old females in men’s prisons.

Make sure you don’t forget the ExLax addition to the pizza and chicken patties.

5. Re McDonald’s food for rioting inmates. Did the person at the MCDonald’s window ask the guards who bought the food, “Do you want files with those fries”?
