Topic: A Broader View / A Troubled Jail, Divided Staff

It must be a pandemic, the prison I work at has all the same issues. Staff openly defend inmates who are, and i quote, “close to me,” or “like my son.” They protect them. The contraband flows like it were legal. Write ups are thrown out, disappeared, or crossed out on the inmate cards. And the white shirts themselves add to the problem by playing mind games, coercing, gossiping, and manipulating staff and inmates. Either way you turn, you are bound to be stepping on someone’s toes.
