Topic: Health & Wellness / preparing for S.O.R.T.

I would like to hear from fellow and current S.O.R.T. members, but any suggestions will be appreciated. We are soon to start a S.O.R.T. team at our complex before we activate our pen. Im curious to know what would be a good day by day plan to follow to get into top shape for the obstacle course and everything that comes along with the entry test?

Topic: Security Central / Offender Movement

In our SHU we always use a 2:1 ratio on ALL inmates regardless of the situation and never pop any doors without 2 staff present and inmates being secured on the range. For maximum security inmates our movement will always be 2 staff and 1 LT. per inmate and all are restrained behind the back with one hand on the cuffed wrist and one on the elbow of the inmate. All outside escorts same ratio 2:1 but inmates will always be secured ankle chains and black box w/ waist chain. Stay safe!

Topic: Security Central / Are gangs running our prisons?

Inmate gangs run the inmate population and any of them will always tell you they run the whole compound but at the end of the day regardless of heart, staff shortage, we are the biggest gang in the prison. We will always be the biggest gang for the simple fact we got radios, toys, and they keys! Stay safe brothers and sisters

Topic: Security Central / Inmates and disposable razors

We keep a log of how many razors we give out and get back. Ex: If we give an inmate 3 we write it on a paper beside their bunk number and come back to get the 3. If the blades arent in the razor well we are coming in and your room will look like a tornado hit it.

Topic: Security Central / Inmates barricading cell doors, Ideas to combat this Read for example of cell door

stop issuing books! its apparent thats what they will use them for… reading is a privelage and can definately be taken away when it comes to security breaches. If they want to read then they need to pass on the word to stop this foolish non-sense. Its funny to the inmates that it takes so many officers to just get the door working again and its now a game. good luck!

Topic: Security Central / Pat Down Gloves

I personally keep both with me. When responding depending on the situation is when I decide (if time allowed) which gloves im going to use. I use my cloth gloves when doing cell searches just in case I were to touch a needle or something of that sort. When extracting a violent inmate that appears to be bleeding or sweating I make sure that I use latex. Everyone has their own ways though. There have been times when immediate force was needed and cant use either so its easy to plan for but when “it hits the fan” do what you gotta do!
