What part of "thorough investigation" and " caught on camera" is anyone not getting? If an inmate hits/smacks/assaults/ or even spits in an officer's face they are found guilty and given another 15 years for assaulting an officer. No video needed. I feel for Sgt. Black as she may have just been having a bad day and thought she could get away with smacking an inmate like so many other officers do but unfortunately for her this inmate filed charges, which so many don't because fear of retaliation in the form of a "beat down". People....not all inmates are BAD and yes, some have changed and are changing for the better. Don't categorize all inmates as bad or then you will have to categorize all officers as bad also. Look at all the officers arrested in the last year alone for crimes that they were commuting in the prison. Their motto " We never walk alone" is true. One does something bad the others participate or turn their eyes. You say not true but you want to say all inmates are the same......hmmmmm Really???

I have work for her and with her for most of those years. She is a professional. When you get behind those gates it is a different world a world within the world. Hopefully this will blow over and get to the real problem recidivism! DOC retired. I have known Sergeant Black for 20 years. I have work for her and with her for most of those years.

Black is a good woman and a great Officer a lot of inmates looked to her as a mother figure one inmate didn't like the way she handled the situation now this.

In that time I cannot recall a time when force was used that it was not needed to be used maybe a couple of times a little more than i though was needed. Now there is a hands off policy and you have more and more officers getting assaulted. People better wake up there has to be an amount of fear in a prison an inmate has to know that he can still get his tail whipped if he puts his hands on an officer, Ala just had an Officer and a Warden stabbed and nothing happened when will this stop.I guess they have to just let all the murders and rapist out in public I retired after 40 years of working inside a prison.

Thank god for them, they are surrounded by the worst of the worst. None us have a right to judge unless you how walked in their shoes. I can't help but notice there is nothing mentioned about the incident that prompted a sergeant to strike an prisoner. My hats off to the correction officers.
