Have you ever seen high level or well known people. Such as cases that made national or international news, a celebrity, a famous person, or someone else who was well known?

Asked by Martian almost 6 years ago

A few. Ronald Regan once (when he was Governor of CA). Jerry Brown a couple of times, when he was Governor and I was on the Board of Directors of the Correctional Officer's union. Father Kelly, a well-known child molester who was a prisoner at the prison I worked at. A couple of members of the Bechtel family (the construction people). A few higher ups within the DOC in CA. Several other famous (notorious) prisoners a time or two.

Are felonies and misdemeanor people share the same prison cell in Maryland

Asked by Sel almost 6 years ago

NO idea. Never been there. In most states there are legal problems with housing misdemeanants and felons together.

So you wanna be a Correctional Officer??

Check our Jobstr's career page for salary information, educational requirements, suggested reading and more!!

Keep a eye out I think there is a troll asking questions. Watch for the same writing styles, outrageous stories, asking the same questions over and over again, posting links, asking dumb and irrelevant questions, among other non sense.

What do you think of Maxwell and how should they protect her from suicide, being killed, escaping, or whatever could happen?

Asked by Pearl almost 6 years ago

I am not worried about an escape. I doubt she has the skill set or connections to pull that off. Suicide prevention is fairly easy, it's called suicide watch. It is expensive but very effective if employed correctly. (It WASN'T employed correctly in Epstein's case.) I strongly suspect that, after Epstein's death, there is little danger of anything untoward happening to her at least in the short term.

As far as what I think of her, I think she is a disgusting turd.

Can married co defendants live together in prison?

Asked by Sammie over 5 years ago

Good question. I don't know. I have been retired for over 15 years and the issue did not come up at that time. State law specifically prohibits sexual relations between prisoners but of course that was written when homosexual conduct was illegal in general. I have no information one way or the other just now. Sorry.
