LOL, there you go again. So you are a correctional officer at some so called maximum security juvie joint, if there even is such a thing. You can't pull the wool over my eyes, like you try to do when talking about the RC. I KNOW about corrections. I was a California correctional officer for 25 years, with stops at San Quentin, Duel Vocational Institute, Mule Creek, CMF and Solano. Go ahead, try to tell me what corrections is like. I've been behind the walls, walking the toughest beat in the state, and guess what bro, I survived. Now, to the other issue. I am proud and happy as all get out, that I left that false religious system, for the glorious Kingdom of God. I love to miss mass and never confess to a guy that was a worse dinner than me. I love not praying the rosary, or praying to the holy saints. I love it, and I get away with it, everyday. 🆒 I am not swimming the Tiber anytime soon.

Yeah, there is and there is a major difference. You dealt with adults....big time losers and your main job was to keep them comfined and keep them from killing you or one another....a thankless job at best.

My job, on the other hand, besides the things outlined above, was to try to work with, influence as an intelligent male adult (which many of them never knew), educate them in the proper way to live in the world, convince them that our chaplin could do them some good, teach them a respect for females which few of them had, keep them from thinking that they were getting away with anything, insist that they accomplished what our school was trying to teach them (MANY got their G.E.D's,)and instill in them a pride in themselves that was not based on their street skills, their physical prowess, but their value as humans and men.

There is a whole lot of difference in keeping a lion in a cage and helping a seriously misguided youth get back on the right track....and in my opinion only, you are sliding a little.
