Topic: The Club House / Women working in Corrections

Seaspirlt, I agree with your above post… I’ve heard seasoned veterans in MO-DOC say the same. That they’ve never seen a woman run from trouble but countless men have. Do we have something to prove? No, just duty to act. If your running, why are you working there in the first place?

“Igoturback, I agree with you. Its those male officers that run around with short man complexs always trying to be something. They feel that we arent capable of doing the same job as them. . .Newsflash. I can, I do and I will be your supervisor one day Mr. Puck9921”

I agree with LADYGUARD here… I too am a female officer working in a level 3-2 male facility. I can’t preach enough about being firm, fair, & consistant. Also what ever happened to giving respect to get re-spect? I apply this method to the guys in my housing unit which consists of me & up to 130 inmates in an open bay setting. To this date, I have not written a CDV or Use of Force form. Thats how much re-spect I get from these guys. Sometimes all it takes is someone that will listen to an inmate talk to make a difference. You just have to remember to keep your personal life out of it.
