Thx, but no, I am not being jerked around. He says all other COs are fine, just 1 guy bullies him. He is scared to complain.

Asked by in Boston about 7 years ago

If he is scared to complain I don't see a lot of options. Either he complains, or you complain on his behalf (which, assuming he is right, will not insulate him from problems) or he puts up with it. Sometimes in the real world there are no good answers.

Have you ever seen mistreatment or even abuse by staff to inmates?

Asked by Cain almost 7 years ago

Inappropriate treatment, yes. Abuse, no. I wrote two people up over the years for it. I am sure it happens more than that, but people who are going to beat on prisoners tend to do it when nobody is looking.

How effective do you feel probation/parole is?

Asked by Jade almost 7 years ago

If it is funded and administratively supported properly with properly trained agents who spend at least as much time in the field as they do in the office, it can be very effective. As it is currently operated in many jurisdicitons it is a farce.
