Topic: The Club House / Pretty Girls... New Hire

As a female, I can say this. Your looks will get you unwanted attention…ALL THE TIME. No matter how rough I look, or how baggy my uniforms are, the males (and sometimes females) will always look. The biggest perverts are going to be your male coworkers, not all of them, but some. Because y’all are one in the same, they’re going to think it’s ok to “joke” around with you. Best thing you can do is ignore it. If that doesn’t work, go to your supervisor. And if that STILL doesn’t work, be a bitch! It’ll keep the unwanted attention at bay.
But on a plus side, being a female CO has it’s perks. I’ve noticed I can diffuse a situation 115 times faster than a male officer. We don’t seem as threatening as males do so inmates are more likely to back off.
Trust me, I know my stuff. Just because I’m a pretty girl doesn’t mean I can’t handle myself. Prove it. That’ll be your best weapon. I’m the night corporal plus the Detention Response Team captain. This pretty face has fooled every one. Best of luck to you!

Topic: Security Central / Inmates and disposable razors

We issue razors once a week for a couple of hours. When everyone is through, we collect all razors. Any alteration done to the razor results in immediate separation. The inmates know this, I know this, my officers know this. I don’t like the fact that razors can be bought on commissary in other facilities. Isn’t that dangerous?
