Got a close friend in CO training. They love him because he denies the inmates anything they ask for. Told him long before he started, they're going to change him for the worse. And it's happening.
The CO I know is close to retirement and cant wait for it. Its rough though because hes conveyed to me he knows it's going to be a worse place when hes gone but the amout of pushback he gets from the other officers to the Brass just isn't good for him, simply for trying to do the job as it's writren in the book. He's got a family himself and as bad as the system has always been, he didn't sign up for what it's become. Its no wonder they cant find new recruits like they used to. The money's right, the hours arent, the work isnt, and the cowerkers can be as dangerous as the inmates. Plus from the stories I'm told, you're almost necessarily going to see some shit you can not un see.
Sorry to tell you, your close friend is already a bad person. Good people don't volunteer to oppress people and deny their needs, especially after being told it's going to make them worse.
Something something the company you keep..
He's 21 with no education or skills. Here he gets offered a job that pays decently, has free training and has solid benefits, best thing he's ever been offered.
He has no idea what he's getting into. And now that he's into it, he's succeeding and being lauded for once in his life, told he's doing great, for once in his life.
Take your judgement on down the road. I'm doing what I can for him.
Oh, he's doing a great job and getting rewarded for treating people badly? Fuck that
