That was very well written and exactly how it is. A can of gas ( which in Florida) officers didn't have until just a few years ago and a radio with a battery you are praying will hold up at least 4 hours until you run across another with a better charge. Re: Paul statement... lock down means that there is no movement ( officers or inmates) in or out of the compound. Nothing would ever get done on lock down. Atmore has an outstanding warden. But from what I've seen on TV...I wouldn't want to work there! Re: Ponch’s statement. That was very well written and exactly how it is.

Atmore has an outstanding warden. But from what I’ve seen on TV…I wouldn’t want to work there!

As a correctional officers wife, it is scary every day not knowing what they will have to face. Be thankful for these guys and gals that risk their lives every day to keep the bad guys away from us!

THEY ARE PRISONERS IN PRISON. They gave up their rights when they decided to break the law. The thought of prison for most criminals is no deterrent. Again, the only contact they should have with the outside world are letters and phone calls through glass. Sound harsh? IT IS PRISON!!!

It may not have been considered "life threatening" but it very easily may have been and this individual will carry this emotionally and internally long after the scar has healed. These individuals are not thanked enough for the incredibly dangerous job that they do every day supervising the worst citizens the state has to offer, all with only a can of pepper spray, handcuffs and the radio that probably saved their life, all while being severely overworked, underpaid and outnumbered. I would like to give a big THANK YOU to all Correctional Officers everywhere across this great country that "guard" the public from the violent felons that are behind those walls and fences. You men & women are a special breed of people for what you do and make it a little easier for all of us to sleep knowing you're there. You ARE appreciated!!!
