The following is an installment in "Icebreakers 101: Hello, My Name is Problem", a series featuring "Ice Breaker's" designed to promote training awareness and capabilities in the corrections industry.
I will conclude this book with a little corrections soul baring. I have had hundreds of students over the years. Dozens of them have gone to work in our correctional facilities. I am very proud of them and realize that they help protect me as well as others. I taught them how to enhance safety through contraband control. Of course, one has to learn contraband tricks in order to foil them. Unfortunately, it is a number’s game – with many quiet successes comes a single, yet loud failure. One of my students used some of these tricks to help a prisoner escape. It is a matter of public record and the student turned corrections officer turned convict, actually served time for those actions. I had a crisis of sorts until I realized that no one could have stopped this if the student truly wanted to traverse this illegal route. Since then, I have issued a caveat to all students to whom I teach contraband control: If you are on the right side of the law, I will help you find contraband and enhance safety; If you are on the wrong side of the law, I will inform the inspector at each facility at which you are housed that you have special, dangerous knowledge. You will otherwise be dead to me. If that sounds a bit harsh, remember the notion of betrayal, selfish schemes and fellow staff and the public put in danger by a rule breaker. I simply have no sympathy for staff who have gone wrong. How do we make this into an icebreaker?
