I remember my husband coming home telling me about this incident. It bothered him and myself, but what can you do when the prison system will NOT hire any more to replace the ones that have retired or quite due to Scott’s cut backs. I can tell you that my husband and many other CO’s do NOT get paid enough for the jobs they do. The inmates are there to do their time for the crimes they commit, but that doesn’t mean they are all worthless. They are also HUMAN just as you and I are. They are paying their dues and should be treated to the code of ethics that each and every correctional officer takes when accepting the job. The CO’s in any prison system don’t get the recognition they deserve. Then you DO have some CO’s that go in there with a power trip and treats the inmates like dirt {to be polite}, which is totally uncalled for. My husband is a highly respected CO among the inmates. He treats them like he would want to be treated. My sympathy goes out to the Bart family and thankful they received justice for the death of their father, son, brother, or grandpa.

i work at century and this sorta thing happens all the time. do you honestly think the state cares about these officers that do this job. if they did they would hire more people to fill these positions. we are need to fill around 60 slotes but they will not hire . this could have easily been an assult on an officer. i worked this dorm and he hit the guy one time. we as officers should get more respect from the public….from our employers….and even from our leaders at this institutution…but we don’t

It is unfortunant when this happens in a secure setting. The state of Fl. has cut back so many positions in the state prison system that there are not enough correctional officers to adequately monitor and provide proper security for incarcerated individuals (for sure not enough to protect other staff). So, having said that, the public can count on more of these types of incidents occurring in our state prison systems. Again, I say this is unfortunant, and I say that because this individual did not deserve to die at the hands of another convict, he was attempting to pay his debt to society the way he was reqiured to.

We have 2 winners here! They were where they belonged. I can’t find any sympathy for either of them.
