What do you think of the Roger Stone case?

Asked by Alan almost 6 years ago

I don't think about it at all. I have many other things to think about to keep my brain occupied.

Has someone ever tried to pay you off or to do something or anything similar?

Asked by Carly over 5 years ago

Never been offered a bribe of any kind for any reason. I guess I just come across as too straight.

What do you think about house arrest?

Asked by Karen over 5 years ago

For some people it is completely appropriate. Non-violent non-repeat offenders with an actual home and with some sort of support structure are good risks. Especially with some sort of electronic monitoring.

They crawl out from under the bridges to the public libraries and find sites like this to use for a few hours until the libraries close. Looks like the libraries are open again maybe

Asked by Jess over 5 years ago

There is always the mission downtown, but I don't think their WiFi is as good as the library.

What do you do in the case of fire, tornados, earthquakes, etc? What about different units or departments?

Asked by COVID-19 almost 6 years ago

Don't get many tornados in CA. Fires are not too much of a problem, it is hard to burn reinforced concrete. Contents can make for a very smoky fire, bad for the guys in the cell, but its not like it will burn the building down. I was there for the World Series earthquake. We did a count right after to make sure nobody was injured, checked the fence for damage, then went on about our business. .

What do you guys do if there is a big fight, someone is being bullied, and other violent activities that happen in prison

Asked by Jim almost 6 years ago

We hardly ever hear about bullying, so we seldom do anything about it.

Large fights we gas the crap out of them. It is hard to fight if you can't see and if you are puking your guts out. If that doesn't work we either shoot them or beat them with clubs. Both are effective.
