I worked for the California state system, starting as a Correctional Officer and retiring as a Lieutenant in 2005. I now write for the PacoVilla blog which is concerned with what could broadly be called The Correctional System.
First you might want to try to figure whether or not your brother is telling you the truth. I know it is hard to believe but prisoners often lie about being mistreated. Assuming for the sake of argument these allegations are true he needs to have his injuries documented if possible as quickly as possible after they occur and needs to contact whatever internal affairs operation they have where he is or if push comes to shove contact the feds. Assault Under Color Of Authority is a very serious crime and the state(s) and the feds do prosecute such things. You could make an initial contact on his behalf with these authorities, but he needs to be willing to go on the record at some point with these accusation to make anything stick.

In California, yes. There is no legal prohibition against the spouse of a felon of ex-felon being a peace officer. You can count on a very close background check and if he is gang involved there may be issues as you may be regarded as a "mole." There is, however, no outright prohibition on the istuation.

Sorry, but I don't have enough information on how things work in Connecticut to give even an educated guess. If I were to make a WAG (wild-ass guess) I would say that they don't like employees being sponsors, but if you were already a sponsor when you hired on they would be OK with it. That is, however, a GUESS and not an informed opinion.

Is there truth to the stereotypes of “pageant parents?”
If someone tries to escape we shoot at them. If they do actually escape we pursue them, go to places they are likely to be (mothers house, girlfriends house, etc) and otherwise try to catch them.

Not familiar with the rules in Florida. A lot would depend on the content and general appearance of the tattoo. If the one on your neck says MOM you are probably OK. If it looks even remotely like a gang tattoo I would invest in some really good cover makeup and the laser work. Same with the hand. Look on the bright side, if you are getting it done for employment purposes it is probably tax deductible. Good luck.

For starters you should NEVER be in that position in the first place. Assuming it did happen, you go with the bird in the hand and keep custody of the prisoner you have. You might be justified in shooting at the fleeing prisoner, but you would not deliberately loose the one you still have to maybe catch the one who is running.
