You sound like a Trump voter is this true?

Asked by Beto over 4 years ago

I am capable of critical thinking and independent thought, so I expect that makes me sound like a Trump voter, especially to people who are not Trump voters. Of course, that doesn't mean I VOTED for Trump, just that it is true that I sound like a Trump voter.

Asked by Deanna de over 4 years ago

Hard to say. Prison calls come from monitored phones and are collect. A recording say something like "Will you accept a collect call from an inmate at San Quentin State Prison" (or whatever). I don't know if jails do the same thing, but as far as I know jail calls are collect too. If it was not a collect call it was probably made on a smuggled cell phone, or possibly as three way connection from somebody else on the outside making the link-up.

What where some pet peeves other Correctional Officer's would do?

Asked by Queen over 4 years ago

I have been retired for over 15 years but I suspect it is about the same as it has been for 60 years. Lame supervisors. Incompetent administrators. Irritating politicians. Prisoners who think they are being picked on just because you want them to follow the rules everybody else has to follow. The usual suspects.

Is the average IQ of a criminal really 85?

Asked by Starfish Peppersocks almost 4 years ago

That is pretty close. What used to be called DULL NORMAL or slightly below. Also as a group they are severely undereducated. About 10% total illiterate and about another 15% functionally illiterate, plus a fair number of monolingual non-English speakers.

What do detectives do that work inside the prison system?

Asked by Seth almost 4 years ago

Inmates continue to commit crimes while in prison. Sometimes serious crimes. It does require a certain amount of training and experience to be an effective investigator.
