Eight correctional officers at FCI Dublin have been charged. The U.S. inspector general said there was a “culture of sexual abuse” of female inmates.
There should be exactly zero male guards in a women’s jail.
Playing devil’s advocate. What would your solution be if they couldn’t hire enough female guards?
How about we put fewer people in prison?
That would be wonderful. I just don’t know how we make that happen.
Hire more female guards.
There is no way there wouldn’t be enough unemployed or underpaid women who wouldn’t work in a women’s jail as a guard, if for no other reason than the pay is far better than working at some burger joint for peanuts.
Those jobs exist right now though. There’s a national shortage of corrections officers. What’s keeping women from those jobs right now?
Women can’t (and shouldn’t) work as guards in male prisons … so that’s part of the problem.
The other part is America’s whole gd judicial system is a clusterfuck, from manditory sentencing to outrageous bail, from falling-down jails to privatization of said prisons.
The whole system needs to get pulled into the 21st century.
So yes, you’re right, there is a problem with staffing levels. But to keep on-keeping on without radically changing anything/everything is stupid … and insane.
Women 100% work in men’s prisons. One of the things that led to women getting hired in men’s prisons was a shortage of men who wanted to work as a prison guard.
I’d rather kill myself than be a prison guard.
Not sure why you’re being downvoted, a lot of former prison guards feel the same
Risk of suicide among prison guards is 39% higher than the national average
I bet he will be getting all the sex abuse he can handle where he’s going
