Topic: The Club House / Women working in Corrections

I am a retired female CO. Having worked for 18 years in state male prisons I have seen many a bad officer both male and female. I never once had an incident. Eight of those 18 years was in Ad Seg. Being a good officer either male are female is the clue. Females have to just do their jobs and do it everyday! No is no! Stay fair, stay right. Know your policies and procedures! Follow them everyday! Offenders respect you for that. Watch your back everyday. Do what an adult female CO should do everyday. See the pattern? Constancy. The saying, “Firm and fair”. That is true! The offenders watch females daily moods and will use that to their advantage. Just walk that straight line. Don’t be lazy or play the I’m a female weaker sex thing on your fellow male officers. That could cause you and or them to lose your job or life. Females, do your job right everyday!!! Use policy and procedure everyday! Even the supervision will respect you for that.
