I would have a five man Gang Investigative Unit.

It would be a cell environment.

Build it with a large flush handle so it could be properly cleaned on a regular basis.

OK If I had to I would set Sheriff Joe up in a hotel for a month and have him help me and leave a copy of his policy manual to include the illegal immigrants, and animal control.

Don't forget his supply source for the PINK underwear.

Pay Sheriff Joe to over see all aspects.....!!!!!!!  Go Sheriff Joe!!!!!

I would make Hard Labour mandatory for all inmates.

Yup, I like that....Making little rocks out of big rocks with little hammers all the live lond day in the dry hot sun or the cold wet rain. I can see it all now and it makes me warm all over!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Referring to MAX, CLOSE, and MED custody only...not MIN or Work Release

 

Prisons should be made cylindrical (round shape) versus the boxy type....this way, fewer officers could monitor more inmates. I think after "lights out" all power should be shut off to their cells...the inmates can turn on a light if they wish, but there should be no "low light" except for the count lights for at night. All inmates that want to have rec and yard MUST HAVE A JOB AND MUST BE WORKING. The booth should be allowed to shut off individual power and water in each cell. When someone is told to "lock up" for the rest of the day, he shouldn't be able to go watch TV in his cell like a child given time-out.

Clothes: Personal clothes are a no-go. I'm all for State-Issue clothing (like the jeans and shirt) but every inmate should like almost identical to another.

Weapons: I think we should do away with the H&Ks and get something simple like a Glock. I think we should also have M14's or even an R700 in some of the towers that have a huge distance for shots. I think perimeter patrol should be abolished as well.

If you "throw on" staff, you should be on a 4-point for a day; SEG for 3 months.

If you violate your sanction, you should be thrown in SEG for a week.

If you "bronze-up" they should bring in the fire hose.

That's all I can think of for now...

 

Good Grief, where do you work that you can't turn off their power or water and they get personel clothes?? 

Gallows, Old Sparky, Firing Squad.  No more needed.

The good old Washington State Penitentuary...where more money is spent on trying to rehabilitate the inmates than pay for more staff to keep them in there (if you new what our Intensive Management Unit was like you would FREAK). Clothes can be delived by family members or bought from the inmate store. Some of these guys have better clothes than I do...I'm talking slacks and button-up shirts...even really nice sports shoes.

The utilities can be turned off by hand in the pipe-chase...but we have a these sophisticated "state of the art" booths that can shut off an entire tier or mod, but not individual cells. Now you may ask, why would I want someone's utlities shut off? Well, if he's flooding his cell or is abusing his electricity (like starting fires) his should be cut off- even if he goes to SEG I think he should be on a utility sanction...but that's just my opinion

Oh, and there is no manual "all bar" on any tier in the new cells...so if there is an emergency and the power is off- each cell has to be manually opened...one by one...

Riot- It sounds like Washington is running it's prison system like Nevada with trying to "Rehabilitate" inmates with little success & lying to themselves, staff & the public that it's working.

I honestly believe Washington spends more money on "rehabilitation" and the "needs" of inamtes more than they spend on public education. These guys should have to get a job to get out faster....prove you can be a contributing member to society and you'll be out faster than the "I don't care about being infracted" shitheads that are only going to be shitheads when they get out. There, there is your sollution to recitivism there Washington...wonder why people don't mind coming back to prison? Because when they do some of the shit they do in here out in the streets, someone shoots them for it...in here they go to a cell by themelves for a month. They should have to earn EVERYTHING...I mean everything...

Visiting

Less time inside

Perks (like a TV or radio)

Better jobs (like instead of making big rocks into small ones they can work as a janitor)

The chow they get here is better than I got in the service. They get cable TV for a flat 3-dollar a month fee (I wish I paid that much!). On top of all that, they pay almost nothing for heath and dental care.

Got HEP-C supporting your drug addiction? Just get incarcerated to get all drugged up and better.

Currently we have Unit supervisors and even Associate Super-Intendants that REFUSE to lock down a Unit, even though we almost had a full out riot on our hands about a month ago. Someone is going to get hurt with all this "hug-a-thug" bullcrap...I just hope it's not me or the other guys in blue to my left or my right.

Fill them to capacity - evacuate the staff and guards - set timer to SELF DESTRUCT in 5 minutes.

I think chain-gang attitude is the way to go; they would be too tired to do anything to anyone? But i also believe certain criminals shouldn't have the opportunity to have any freedoms.

I would NOT allow my personell to risk their life to calm rioters. They get a blanket, a bed and food. If tyey destroy that, well, tough s**t. As for killing each other, good, the bad gene pool gets diminished, and my guys would be safe expectators. They are there to keep the bad guys from leaving, not to baby sit. Period..

Lock them in a cell with their wives, a leaky faucet and no tools. After 10 minutes of being trapped in there and hearing her bitch about the leaky faucet, he's sure to hang up ! ...
