Correctional officers who sadistically carry out acts such as the type of evil ones that these men and women carried out should not only be fired they should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. It’s interesting to me that all of the sick acts carried out by these criminals in uniforms were carried out over a period of time only against male prisoners without any one in authority really holding these criminal correctional officers legally accountable

Correctional Officers should be held to high standards as Law Enforcement. However, they are not treated the same as Law Enforcement in Tallahassee. This is why there is a major shortage of Correctional Officers State wide. Law Enforcement Officers have been given much bigger pay raises over the last 10 years and more often. Saying that, Correctional Officers should still maintain the same level of professionalism and be held accountable for there actions. The question to Mr. Crews should be. Does this new rule only apply to Correctional Officers and not Law Enforcement? Mr. Crews is holding Correctional Officers to a higher Standards than Law Enforcement. Mr. Crews should be fighting for his staff and getting them fair compensation. There is a very high turn over rate and a reason for that. Mr. Crews needs to be fighting for his staff in Tallahassee for better wages to retain staff and attract more professional staff.

Oh that’s just great, as ridiculously short staffed our institutions are, they can’t afford to fire anyone for spitting on the side walk

Why should there be higher standards for Co’s and LEO’s,or lower standards for inmates or criminals. We have laws and they apply to all.If you don’t like the law vote to have it changed but until then OBEY the LAW!!!!!!!!

I can understand the need to hold them to higher standards although the ECSO lowered their standards for their CO’s. What needs to be watched close is their behavior within where too many inmates are abused and sometime killed at the hands of these overbearing CO’s. Most of the inmates deserve to be imprisoned and can become out of hand but do they deserve being abused or killed in this manner. Investigations in these cases are like hiring the foxes to investigate the missing or dead chickens from the hen houses–no matter what it will not turn out to the satisfaction of the victims or their families. When COPS and CO’S or other LEO’S are suspect of ABUSE or WRONGFUL DEATH there needs to be a FULL INVESTIGATION not something CURSORY and SWEPT UNDER A RUG then found JUSTIFIED when the EVIDENCE SHOWS OTHERWISE. The guilty ones need to be sent to PRISON so they can feel the pain in CAMPAIGN. When they are guilty lock them up and let them learn what pain is from other INMATES.

I agree with Esc LEO… but if the CO is to be held to a higher standard so should their salary…. be reflected as so….
