She's the guard. Why didn't she discipline them?
I’m only guessing here, but I would suspect that the guards can administer physical correction for certain behaviors, but this would require an administrative punishment, which would have to be administered by the Warden or other administrator. Guards can’t arbitrarily throw a prisoner in solitary or restrict their access to the yard, etc.
Most that she can do is right a case on that Offender.
Threaten them w/ solitary? Almost all cells at Pelican Bay are.
Only thing I can think of is point and laugh or hit it w/ a night stick, and I'm sure that's a no-no.
Amazing, women want 'just the same', until something like this happens. Then suddenly it's, 'but I'm a woman'.
By law she can't. She can only report the misbehavior in a report. There are guidelines for all of this. In New York State, the reports are reviewed by a Lieutenant before the inmate is served and a hearing is held. All Tier 2 and Tier 3 hearings had to be recorded. Tier I hearings were lesser infractions, and Sergeants (which I was) held the hearings. Your options for discipline in Tier I hearings was limited. We used to get pi$$ed when the Hearing Lieutenant tossed out tickets (misbehavior reports) we'd written on convicts, in return for them giving him info. They'd also dismiss tickets to keep the number of misbehavior reports down. It didn't look good for the administrators in Albany if the officers were writing too many tickets.
