The funny thing that got me is that there was over 1K troopers and Border Patrol officers on the manhunt,but,the bad guy was caught by a lone officer on routine patrol. That's first class heads up Police work and if I ever get to meet the guy,dinner is on me.

Ironic wasn't it.

So,what kind of a bloodletting do you think there'll be by the time the FBI is done with their investigation into the "system" at that prison? You used to work in "the joint". How does something like this go so far south without anyone catching on?

Too bad he couldn't make it to Canada, the Lesser Trudeau is looking for new party members, maybe he could have advised the party on crime and punishment?

According to NBC News reports,the FBI have ordered suspensions for 12 guards including the prison superintendant. Sweat is singing like a canary. If I was married to the female prison guard,she never needs to think about coming back home after she's released.

Inmates have nothing to do normally , except spend all day thinking of ways to break the rules/escape etc. Many are very bright and creative too.

example:

I taped up a library book once with masking tape. Turned out that someone took the tape off the book , and used it to tape some hidden drugs over the light panel in their unit . Regular thorough searches wouldn't have located that - another inmate squealed because they weren't getting any drugs.

The stress of the job is having to think all the time of one little mistake you might make that would cause a disaster - a pencil not returned could equal someone stabbed, a staple taken from the bulletin board would be used to do a homemade tattoo = infection.

Any of those incidents meant I was on the carpet.

I heard to day that The Superintendent , Director and some guards of that prison have been removed until further notice.

Heads roll when something like that happens, but you just can't know everything that's going on. You are still accountable though.

I was not a C.O. but a teacher. I was locked in a classroom with 10 students.... many couldn't read, some were working towards their G.E.D. The room was watched by video camera elsewhere and I had a red emergency button. 10 years in probation/parole and 10 years at the detention centre.

Over the course of my time with the OPP,I'd been to Warkworth,Millhaven,Collins Bay,KP and the OH at Penatang a couple of times each and Millbrook Pen more times than I can count. Security was always very tight. How they managed to get dope and other contraband into the prisoners always puzzled me until our CI guys busted a whole cadre of guards that were getting rich from smuggling. The only mistake they made was living too high off the hog for their pay grade and attracting attention. It's likely more of an issue than we on the outside know.

I never saw or heard about that. I did hear of an incident where C.Os were keeping the drugs that new admits were coming in with. Like any job , there will be dishonest bad apples. I did feel that the corrections system attracted more than a normal share of dysfunctional employees. I always had more trouble with C.O.s( NOT ALL) than inmates. Of course, "programmes" was frowned on by many C.Os - they just wanted to throw away the key.

You bend over and cough nude when you arrive ,but drugs can be put VERY high up in two spots so get by that check. Still can't eat a Kinder Egg.
