I did some contract work in a couple of prisons a few years ago. I was told that the number one reason female employees are fired from prisons is having relationships with inmates.
Many inmates are extremely manipulative and are very good at identifying and exploiting vulnerabilities. They are predators, and that’s what predators do. Any female employee in any capacity needs to understand that and protect herself.
Complacency is also an issue. I heard prison employees chatting with offenders about their personal lives. I never told anyone, including other employees, anything about myself. Where I live, my family, and other details of my persona life were all off-llimits. I’m very good at giving vague non-answers.
“Many inmates are extremely manipulative and are very good at identifying and exploiting vulnerabilities. They are predators, and that’s what predators do. Any female employee in any capacity needs to understand that and protect herself.”
That’s definitely true. Most or all of those inmates are sharks.
But, I can tell your for a fact that it also works the other way around.
Women can also be extremely manipulative, and some of those women are guards and ex-cops.
I know one in particular, my friend’s wife unfortunately, who is just plain evil. I mean Evil and Corrupt, with capital letters on purpose.
