"You have to care more about your co-workers than you do about yourself in some cases. We're all we got. When we're inside those walls we rely on each other completely. And your team has to know you care about them!" Great comment Chaos! Mr. Wallace, If it's alright with you, I will be adding this to my list of great quotes to live by...
Anthony is always putting good stuff out and helping guys like me who want to give back a voice and a lectern to help educate and even entertain a bit! Welcome to the fold!
My dad works County Corrections. His main rule that he teaches and uses himself for his inmates is, " If you want respect, show me a bit of respect." He has worked in corrections for 16 years and it has helped him build trust (and respect) with the inmates.
Greetings COs, as a new member of free staff at CDCR I’ve gained a whole new respect for the officers charged with controlling the inmate population. You guys have a very demanding job and I don’t think anyone not seeing things from the inside can appreciate that. I’m learning to pay attention to details and make no assumptions. Decisions I make can directly and adversely affect the safety of others and I’m trying to keep that at the forefront of every inmate request. Requests which in a “normal” environment are not something you give a second thought to but in the prison environment can literally mean life or death. I have to push against instincts that are embedded through years of working outside of these walls. I have to think these things through to the potential risks and not hesitate to say no if I’m unsure about something. And I can ask any of you about it and always have been given good advice. Thanks to all of you for making my job possible.
This video gives me a lot of hope man! YOU GUYS WHERE ALLLL GREAT!!! Honestly. I loved this!! So upset I didn’t get myself in here!! Let you guys down!
This is one of the BEST ONES I’ve watched so far!!! Loaded with helpful, encouraging words. I believe our entire staff could benefit from watching this one. Thank you!!!
Thanks to all of the folks who shared this wealth of knowledge and insight! I started looking at corrections as a career field a few weeks ago. I go to take my assessment next month! Looking forward to the process and the prospect of working in a rewarding career field!
Thank you sir! I am immensely excited for the opportunity, but if your channel has taught me anything, it's that I have a boatload to learn! Looking forward to showing that I am deserving of the distinction of serving my state as a Corrections Officer
A sense of humor! If you don’t find reasons to laugh often this job will bury you. I’m find this to help me enjoy my job, only a few months in and i love it
Great advice from everyone. And I don't normally sound like I have a lisp. Been dealing with an absessed tooth and still dealing with the swelling lol. I love the fact that in some form or another we all have similar answers. Great experience among everyone.
Strong judgment, integrity, not being complacent , and dependable. As actually doing it diffusing situation, treating everyone with respect, & doing your job so you can go home.
Legit question here: What can be done to reduce violence in the various facilities across the country? Also what can be done to eliminate contraband(whether drugs, cellphones, weapons)? Many places are just unsafe for COs and inmates alike. As someone who has had familiy members who have served time(and reformed) as well as friends who have become COs or are in the early stages of that process, I'd like to see things improved.
Awesome video. Wish I had time to make one. Been working doubles the last few days. I will just throw my 2 cents in now. Always tell the truth. Tell the truth to these inmates because they are expert lyers and can see right though you. If you tell the truth to these inmates most of the time these inmates will respect that and tell the truth to you. Always be truthful to your supervisors. I like my pay and if you are lying to your supervisors they will find out and you will be looking at termination.
Wow. Just learned that we have a local facility where female civilian staff are being told by their boss that they, "just have to deal with," inmates groping them. The same female staff witnessed a drug deal in the chow hall. She was told by the CO in charge that it was none of her business. Apparently the entire unit is acting shady and are not responding when other officers are assaulted. It is serious enough that I am being advised to not do overtime there.
@@TierTalk not good. Sounds like some people are going to get fired. I really hope what I am hearing is exaggerated. If not, I will find out sooner or later. I need as much overtime as I can get.
A sense of humor. In corrections you see a lot of fucked up stuff. Not everything you can laugh at, but you have to be able to find the things you can see humor in. Use that, it helps more than you can possibly imagine. Corrections is naturally a very negative environment, find what positive elements you can.
INTEGRITY!!
Doing the RIGHT thing when NO ONE is watching!! So true and love that one! So important!
Great advice
My drill instructors used to say that.

It was a powerful quote. Extremely powerful. And I am sure he wouldn’t mind. Lol

I am honored.
I start soon at a state level facility. I really appreciate this video and others like it! Thanks!
Thank yo I for the support and welcome to the family

Great advice from everyone. And I don't normally sound like I have a lisp. Been dealing with an absessed tooth and still dealing with the swelling lol.
I love the fact that in some form or another we all have similar answers. Great experience among everyone.
That is experience talking.
I would have claimed it was a prison yard war wound!
That's a much better answer.
Lmfao
Everyone has given excellent advice great job as usual gangi
It was a great video
Well done my Friend and Thank you!
Thank you

One thing I tell every new hire is only give an inmate what the department allows them to have.
And that will save them in their career
Awesome sauce! Officers telling it like it is!
All day
I just found your videos and I’m subscribed. Great job on this!
Thank you I appreciate this
Wow. Greattttt video! I’m sorry I didn’t send a clip!

Anthony , your doing it big man , thanks. Mia Rock!

Paramount knowledge!
Thank you
Another fuckin amazing video Tier Talk! Great Job!!
Pilot Light thank you.
The last guy hit it right in the nose. Some of your co workers take that power and they end up getting you hurt.
John V that is a big problem

The main answer to both your questions : more staff. Presence of more staff can deter and also provides us with the manpower to do searches.
Great info got my phone interview tomorrow for a co position thanks again
You got this. Good luck. Keep us updated
@@TierTalk will do
@@TierTalk the interview went well moving on to the second phase of the hiring process ✌🏽

Steven Jacobs That is great advice. Next time I do a video like this, I’ll be sure to reach out to you
