Corrections… Take Your Coat Off, Stay Awhile

Topic: The Club House / Comebacks

Yeah I work in an open bay dorm style prison. I don’t smoke, but I carry a lighter in my pocket, I’m still pretty new but I’m getting the ‘beast’ style reputation around the camp. So I still get a lot of offenders trying to test me. One thing they commonly try is, they’ll have an unlit cigarette in their mouth, and I’ll say, “that’s for LATER right?” and they always seem to say, Do you have a light on you?" and I say sure, and hand them my lighter and stand there to see how far they are willing to go. I’ve written some violations over it and it never gets old. Yet my sgt told me that I really shouldn’t be doing that, so the next time it happened, which still puzzles me why they keep doing it… I said, "I dont smoke, but I think my sgt does, and I’ll get on the radio and call a sgt to 10-10 at his conveinence, and he replies 10-4 and that usually backs them down and I get a few snickers from their buddies then I just tell the sgt to disreguard or allow them to take it a step further with the sgt who usually sets them straight. lol
