Nationalism destroyed all...

^Wow. I'll make sure not to introduce your Dad to my dog. That is some crazy stuff.

I know I've seen some clips of some of the Dorchester prison riots on tv. There was one clip where almost the entire prison was out of control and some inmates went up to the roof and threw all kinds of crap down on the police and guards, it looked like Bedlam.

The coolest story Dad ever told me was that one day when they came on shift and they suspected there was going to be "trouble" The warden lined up all the guards and informed them that "No one goes over the wire. I expect all inmates to be dropped on this side of the fence." Later that day they did have trouble, but it was after my Old Man's shift. They put one guard up in the rafters above all of the tiers with a shotgun and a army issue kit bag full of shotgun shells. I guess he tamed things down very quickly.

Well, that would do it, wouldn't it?

[MIGMaster]

Ah....the good ole days when inmates were targets and not mis-understood social deviants created by a poor upbringing.... makes me kinda misty

[Gusington]

Migsy are you a cop or a corrections officer? Neither?

I'm a Casework Supervisor for Income Assistance. Been with them in different capacities for little over 20 yrs now. 40Cent and I started around the same time. Before that  I used to work with young offenders in an open custody half-way house for about 2 yrs. I ran some re-integration training for inmates with 100 days or less in the local provincial jail for about 3 years as a contract job on the side and up until about 2 years ago, I used to do some employment and training sessions with the guys doing federal time at the Springhill institution.

I'm so damaged from working with social miscreants for so long, I could never function in a "normal"workplace 

[LongBlade]

Well, that explains why you like us so much.

[MIGMaster]

It's not often that I find a place where I fit in 

[Gusington]

Sounds like 'interesting' work as long as you get some respect, Migs. If you've been doing it for 20 years then I guess it can't be that bad eh?

[MIGMaster]

The "It's not that bad" factor is directly proportional to the amount of meds I can access 

[Gusington]

^You are a dangerous man.

[MIGMaster]

Thank You - I think

Thank You - I think 

I could tell stories... but that works both ways.
