I’m a retired correctional officer. One of the inmates who worked in the kitchen smuggled out the lid from a tin can...sharp! He passed it to some other fellows who used it to cut off the danglies of a child molester. I always thought that was the appropriate solution.
You were a corrections officer, but you thought it was appropriate for prisoners to commit crimes under your watch?
Lots of correctional officers are sadists with severe psycho-sexual disorders.
