I love this comment but it works!
I am heading to South Dakota in two weeks for my oral interview and my physical exam. I've been studying and practicing my interview questions. I hope they give me a chance.
Thanks for all your videos. They've helped me a ton.
"Can you do me a favor?" I always tell inmates..."I don't do favors. What is your question?"
I usually say “try that again without the word favor”. Then I get demanded a grievance form
I’m a CO, just found this video and I love it
1: I’m just doing my job, and running it within the boundaries of policy”
2: you should be listening to any verbal directive given by any officer on this pod.
3: there is no privacy in prison, and there is no us
4: I’m confident in my ability as an officer and dont need the approval of others to justify that.
5: I appreciate the support, but I can handle things.
6: I don’t listen to favors, I listen to concerns
7: I’ve already been made aware, should I be concerned about your concern?”
8: I’m not that officer, therefore i won’t allow it

Awesome responses! Tough but fair and professional rather than personal.
I don't use the same verbiage but I may start to.
I like your responses. I work in a work re-entry center and at times struggle with the right answer. It's either to personal or mean.
These are straight forward and let's them be heard and gives validation and respect and is not rude. We have to hold the boundary but you don't win if you are rude while doing it.
Thanks for the real response.
1) You should like it whenever the unit is worked properly
2) The only thing that needs to be done is the right thing, every time.
3) there is no us; there’s you and then there’s me.
4) So?
5) I appreciate that, but it is not needed.
6) You know I can’t, so don’t ask again
7) im aware, glad to see you are as well. Should I be concerned about the fact that you’re on the lookout for him/her ?
8) Unfortunately for you, I’m not Ofc. Jackson.
I love these comments. They show respect and fairness. It put a lot right back in the inmates.
Tier Talk Correctionsone TH-cam Channel Yes sir! Something I ran into a lot is that the inmates wanted to throw the ball in your court and have you fall into a play. So neutral, respectful, yet firm responses end the game and have them take ownership and responsibilities for their actions.
It’s great advice. Thank you
I'm not very good with coming up with my own rejoinders, and I LOVE these, so I've written them down to add to my arsenal. They're respectful, but also convey a "don't try me" attitude to the inmate. Thank you!
Thank you for watching
1. Appreciate that. (I know how I run my unit and I know I treat them with respect, which is not something they always get. I’m real and I’m consistent, but take no bs.)
2. I don’t care who you do it for, just do it.
3. There’s no “us”.
4. I’ve never cared about what anyone thought before, and I won’t start today.
5. Cool.
6. I don’t do favors. If it’s within policy, that’s fine. Anything outside of policy is a no.
7. Either be quiet, or take it in.
5. I suddenly feel so much safer. I'll go tell the other officers they can go home.
Lmfao.
LOL. That's funny.
#5 It is important to listen when inmates are "tipping you off" about something. In one of the local Jails several years ago a Correctional Deputy was very badly assaulted by several Inmates. During his walk he was passed a note tipping him off. For whatever reason the information wasn't taken seriously or acknowledged. The attack may have been able to be prevented. It's easy to put on the "game face" and treat all inmates the same but keep in the back of your head that there may be one who is trying to do the right thing. The Deputy survived but almost died.
Good point, that makes a lot of sense. But we also have to remember that we can not put ourselves in a feeling of obligation towards that inmate.
I may not react to notes like that but I do make sure I stay very aware of who is around me and don't let anyone get that close
Agreed. It is sometimes hard to know who is trying to do the right thing, and who is trying to blow smoke, though id say the vast majority are smoke blowers. Honestly if a kite like this was found, I say its shakedown time. We had an inmate, (I think he's still in the facility actually) that fakes medical injuries when he knows something is about to go down, or so I have heard. Does it for his own safety, but still a tip off.
After a pod inspection, I had an inmate come up to me and ask, "Hey, is the sergeant gone?" I responded, "Why? Are you about to me ask me to do something shady?" He was thrown way off guard and never asked me for anything again.
8. I don’t care what he allows you to do. He’s not here, I am.
Taking control brother. Great response
I'm not officer Jackson.
1. Yeah ok
2. go away
3. nope, not a chance
4. good for him
5. that's what I got my fellow officers for
6. nope I'm good
7. ok?
8. I dont care if he does, I'm running this unit and I say no
Pretty much. Cook County jail.
1. Nice to know (be polite but not their friend)
2. Thanks (See number 1)
3. Depends what you tell me (not going to totally turn down an opportunity for intel)
4. Can't be liked by everyone (Thanks for singling yourself out for trying to gossip or divide staff. I'll add you to the shit list)
5. I'd you just tell me before hand if somethings going to go down.
6. You can always ask I guess and find out
7. Great
8. Then wait until he's around and ask him.
NK Community Patrol Watch great response.
I always say “Well Officer Jackson isn’t here, So it’s the way i want it done which policy supports” and they usually walk away mad but 🤷🏾♀️
We also need to tell officer Jackson that inmates are dropping his name. Lol
I would always have a meeting in roll call and let every officer know that the inmate is throwing officer Jackson’s name around. And the kinds of questions that the inmates are asking me and saying to me. And I’d ask a question with a question to them. For example, “we like it when you work the unit”, why do you like when I work the unit? What makes me so special? Lol
First, I just want to say, thanx to you and the team for creating these corrections channels. I just started in corrections last week and made some supper rookie mistakes with inmates by issuing warnings instead of write ups; mainly because superiors were already on my head about documenting. I got my authority undermined by a superior my first day on the tier in the worst dorm at the start of my shift. And I later got a verbal and written warning over documentation. It was only my third day on the job with no OJT on the tiers. So those things definitely put a dent in my morale. Really made me question if I'm even cut out for this work. I don't think I should be looking for reasons to call in on the second week of work. lol But, in making those mistakes I realized that this job is not just babysitting adults. It's also an opportunity for me to grow in areas I'm weak in; like multitasking, time management, people management, communication, etc... The info I glean here makes me feel like I can bounce back if I work to get better each tour. It's like ongoing training here. So thanx again for the wealth of information you guys put out to help us new boots in this weird world of corrections.
1. Yup, I bet ya'll think ya'll bout to get away with violating huh? Do the right thing sir and we won't have no issues.
2. Nah, everything you do here is for you.
3. You already know, state business, progress, and life vision. Anything else, I really ain't tryna hear it.
4. I don't care. That's irrelevant to me.
5. Nah, If God don't have my back, nobody got it. I'm good.
6. I don't do favors sir.
7. Okay, and.....
8. I'm not officer Jackson. And ya'll not doing it on my tour.
We are honored to have you in our community.
As a new officer, your vids help me out alot.
1) Okay (And keep an extra eye on her if i'm in that unit)
2) You don't get a choice of what you have to do and don't have to do. You are to follow any order any officer gives you
3) Let me think about it (As i notify my supervisor and write a ticket)
4) I don't care. He's not here
5) I don't need your help. I have plenty of help if I need it
6) Depends
7) I know he/she is coming. Mind your own business
8) I'm not Officer Jackson. When I'm here, this is how we're doing it
1 - "okay"
2 - "Yes you do, weather it be me or any other officer in our facility you will follow our commands"
3 - "No, absolutely not"
4 - "Officer Jackson isn't here move along"
5 - " No you will not, you will keep to your self. Is that understood?"
6 - "This isn't a catering service, if this is about your over all well being or protection which you fear for I will notify my supervisor and we will sort out the issue. But, NO special favors is that understood?"
7 - "Now why is that any of your concern?"
8- "I'm not Officer Jackson and Officer Jackson isn't here go on about your business now"

Just wanted to say I love your videos. My name is David I'm 18 and are starting college this fall for Criminal Justice. My dream at this point in my life is to become a Corrections Officer and I'm taking all the advice I can get. Please tell me what you think and if there is anything I can change to better my self. There isn't a lot of Channels on TH-cam or really any Social media accounts for Corrections. Please keep up the good work I watch every day!
First off, thank you for supporting my channel. If this is your dream we have a family in here will support you. Each one of us is here if you have any questions. Here is my personal email. Gangianthony@yahoo.com. You can reach out to me anytime and if I can help you, I will. I also have two friends of mine who have smaller channels about corrections. Gary York (corruption behind bars) and Keith Hellwig (cops and corrections). Check them out.
In the meantime, learn everything you can. But don’t keep that learning just to books. You need to speak to those with experience. They have so much to offer.
You have any questions or something you would like covered, email me. I will make sure it gets done. I promise.
Btw. Great answers. Right on point.
Thank you so much, writing all information down right now I will keep in touch!
You don’t need college to be a correctional officer! You could start applying now
@@UnLuckyDucky6844 in my state you do. Not for state corrections but for county. County is a lot more pay, and a safer environment.
1.) Why's that? (figure out if you're letting too much slide or if other COs are being unprofessional)
2.) Alright then. (They don't have a choice, just let them save face/ego. If they do as they're told the rest is just fluff.)
3.) That depends. What's the issue? (Never say no to free info, never promise anything though.)
4.) I don't care.
5.) That sure sounds ominous. *give it a moment* Alright have a good day.
6.) What kind of favor? (The answer is almost always no, I don't do favors I do my job. Unless it's a perfectly reasonable request like waking him up later before rec time or something)
7.) So? (I'll check my uniform and keys after I walk away because now I'm slightly paranoid)
8.) I'm not officer Jackson.
6) I don't do favors, I do my job.
1. Okay, and?
2. Go away
3. Nope
4. That’s cool
5. Nah, I’m good.
6. I don’t do favors
7. Why should I be worried?
8. Okay and? I’m not Officer whoever
Thanks for posting these scenario based videos. They help me think of all situations and what I would do or say.
1- If by you, you mean I like when there is order in the unit, then I’m glad to hear you appreciate what we all do during our shifts.
2- I can appreciate your compliance to a direct order, but I need for you to understand that you arnt doing me any favors. Either do what is being asked of you, and if not that’s fine just realize that there are consequences for each and every action.
3- secrets don’t make friends my guy, lol, anything you say to me will be totally transparent with every staff member.
4- what makes you think I’d take your word over my brothers/sisters? You need to remember that next time you try to stir the pot.
5- you know what man... I can appreciate the fact that you have a desire to do the right thing. I do too that’s why I joined the department of corrections. But you see this? (Radio) these brothers and sisters of mine will always have my back. If you hear of something that might go down it is your duty to report it to us, but let us take it from there.
6- I don’t do favors, I do my job. If you need something let me know and I will check with the oic if it is possible.
7- ...I know he’s coming. What’s the issue?
8- man you play too much! Lol... still playing your parents against each other?! Dude, how I run the shift and how he runs the shift may be different but you are still required to do as we say.
Awesome answers. It is always great to keep us on our toes. .
I have now been a correctional officer for 18 months. I heard ALL of these within my first 2 weeks!
Wow. !!!!!!! lol.
Story time; I was the building SGT. for G4 offenders. These guys were either about to go to seg or had just gotten out. An officer on C pod called for response and supervisor etc. He had found an inmate performing fallacio on another inmate. The guy recieving was apprehended by myself and charged with rape. The giver was not charged as he was seen as the victim. He was not a victim. This is his hustle as an indigent offender. I had multipule inmates approach me and tell me to go easy on him. I did until that offender said he was going to have sex with my wife when he got out, so the unit began to call him Dick Sucking Dupree. I called him that for years. He would scream at me and cry. He opened the door. I closed it. He never said another word about my wife. I never stopped calling him DSD. Other offenders watched as I, the building SGT. handled a man that was disrespecting my family. None of them followed in his foot steps. Stand up for you or get run over.
Well said. They look to come at you with those perosnal insult to test you. That is why we need to make sure we have thick skin
Your last statement...Officer Jackson lets me do it! My response... Officer Jackson isnt here! This is my shift and you’re not going to do it or there will be consequences!!
I love it. Plus I would also tell officer Jackson that inmates are dropping his name.
Great response
Yes that too!! I have done that several times!!
Jason Jarman very smart. It’s shows us being connected. Inmates need to see that
Don't say that again or I will have to report both of you for violating policy rules or regulation.
Well said
1. (responding as a SGT.) I know you like it when I work the unit. I keep you all in line.
2."Dont do me any favors. I can handle it on my own with out your help. This is my block, you just live on it."
3."Nope. Thats not how this works. Privacy doesnt exist here, bud."
4. "Dont worry about officer Jackson. I handle my business my self. Just like I handled your partner the other day."
5. I have heard this one A LOT!!! I had a reputation at my last unit of being abrasive but right. I had snitches and rats in my pocket. Convicts have told me about hits on me and my friends. I think I would honestly just say "Thanks, I guess, but if you dont wear my uniform, dont jump in."
6.Another regular request. In my opinion, the best answer is "I dont do favors. If you deserve it, you will get it. No extra for anyone ever."
7.Hahahahaha!!! We run 'jiggers' even as supervisors! "Good lookin out" is what I would say if I was burning off, but if I am doing what I should, they wouldnt be hanging around me. Convicts didnt stick too close. I was always doing a pat down or a strip search so they kept distance.
8. Depending on what OFC. Jackson is allowing, Jackson and I may have to have a little talk about following POST orders and enforcing policy or he may go see the man. As far as what I would say "This is my pod/block/run/tier/building. I will run it how I see fit. Get used to how I do things, because its not going to change."
After years of supervising knuckleheads wearing BOTH uniforms, I have become set in my ways. I have learned that yelling is a tool to be used infrequently. Respect goes both way. If you respect them, often times it is given back. If they disrespected one of my officers, it is on in thier life. I feel my job as the SGT. is to filter the bad from those above me and below me in the chain of command. I fix it all without LT.s help. I always felt if my LT. was involved, I was failing, unless it was a training situation for me to learn my next job.
If you’re not wearing my uniform don’t jump in? As if you guys really run the prison, the inmates let you run the prison and I think some of you guys forget that. Don’t get me wrong I’m training to be an officer, but your comment of, if you’re not wearing my uniform don’t jump in. That’s just ozzes arrogance to me n there are plenty of times were in made safeguards from ass whippings heart attacks and everything in between, I’m not saying kiss the inmates ass I’m not saying anything like that but to me I just sounded arrogant and if you were getting your ass kicked by four or five inmates and he was the only one there to protect you or at least help you him and his friends I guarantee you will have you attitude changed towards him if you did, but after that statement I doubt he would. And again I understand you’re not depending on inmates, I just don’t believe that you should make enemies with them and saying Something like that is like making an enemy
Wow, after reading more of your response I’m surprised you haven’t gotten in trouble...You DEF seem like one of those COs that the power gets to their head..There are ways to do things when you come off respectful and firm or the way you come off just like a plain out asshole😂 I’m sorry but u do
@@joepeters2731 I have had an inmate help me during an assault and it went worse for him than it did for me. His reputation was ruined throughout the state and ended up in protective custody. It is unrealistic to ever think of relying on an offender for anything at all ever.
@@joepeters2731 Shit I might be
**All constructive feedback welcome**
We like it when you teach this group (Modified as going in as psychologist).
Good that you are gaining something from this group.
I know I don’t have to do this, but for you I will.
Please know that you are not doing anything for me. Anything you choose to do, you are doing for yourself.
Can we keep this between us? So let me remind you of limitations of confidentiality. Technically, while I am your psychologist, you are still considered an inmate, and ward of the State. I work for the State of Colorado. In reality, nothing you say is really confidential, and depending on the nature of what you say, can be shared with other staff to include my superiors.
Officer Jackson was saying some negative shit about you the other day.
Officer Jackson is entitled to his opinions.
If anything goes down, I got your back.
I can handle myself thank you. Also, I have eyes on me all the time by C.Os.
Can you do me a favor?
You know that I CANNOT DO ANY FAVORS.
Be careful your supervisor is coming!
Good! I’m always happy to see my supervisor.
Officer Jackson let’s us do it.
I am not officer Jackson.
1- "We like it when you work the unit" - Me: "Thank you".
2- "I know I don't have to do this, but for you: I will"- Me: "Thank you".
3- "Can we keep this between us?" Me: "I'm afraid not".
4- "Officer Jackson was saying some shyte about you the other day: me: "I'll have a word with him" (has no intention to do that).
5-"If anything goes down, I got your back". Me: "Thank you".
6-"can you do me a favour?" me: "It depends on the favour".
7- "be careful, your supervisor is coming". me: "Oh, good".
8- "officer jackson lets us do it" me: " I'll have a word with him"
#5 if anything goes down. I’ll worry about myself and you worry about yourself. And we will be fine!
Love it. They are trying to make you feel obligated to them.
that definitly sounds like a great reply....
#4. That’s fine. I don’t talk about other staff with inmates so let’s keep it moving.
They like to do this tactic to divide us
i myself am working towards a career in corrections and i stumbled across this channel to help along with talk with correction officers in my hometown i must agree i really appreciate everything your channel does and i am glad i subscribed
Thank you Joe. I greatly appreciate your kind words. If you have any questions, never hesitate to ask. Let’s get you that career my man. Here is my email
GangiAnthony@yahoo.com
@@TierTalk thank you so much sir i will be sure to contact you through email if i have any questions or concerns
1. A clean dorm is a happy dorm, mop!
2. It would behoove you to work with all dorm officers.
3. I am the eyes and ears of my supervisors.
4. Not interested in hear-say.
5. What is going down that we should know about? What do you know about this?
6. I don't do favors.
7. What have you done to be worried about the supervisor's visit?
8. I understand, but I am not officer Jackson.
As a program provider & religious volunteer:
1. Thanks
2. I need you to do what you are suppose to be doing.
3. Sorry, that's not an option.
4. I'm not worried about what Officer Jackson thinks of me.
5. I trust in the security officers ability to handle things.
6. Sorry, I work within certain guidelines
7. I hope I'm doing what I should be doing whether a supervisors is around or not.
8. I'm not responsible for what Officer Jackson does or does not do. I'm responsible for my own actions.
Inmate answers
1. Small Nod and move on
2. It’s best that you do this to all your officers for the flow of the day.
3. I have no secrets to hide from my co-workers God bless- move on.
4. God bless him- move on
5. Nothing will go down
6. No
7. Ignore
8. I said no today, and I've already spoken with him and he also stated to stop.
"Officer Jackson let's us do it." I tell inmates..."This is my shift and this is how we are going to do it."
ok. I understand. I was just wondering if policy has changed.
I don't feel like starting and stopping this video but i will say this. My response to all of the answer would be a strong No. And none of his business when it comes to my partner or coworkers. I also would be thinking why is he chiseling at my self esteem. That alone would piss me off. (Not that i would necessarily display it.) Depending on the situation.
Also let inmates know that we don't have any secrets. And my supervisors are well aware inadvance of any state perks earned. Furthermore i don't allow inmates to foster these types of comfortable emotions openly towards me. If they have anything for me outside of respect they better keep it to themselves.....period..
1. Wouldnt respond or "ok"
2. Doesnt matter who tells you it just needs to get done
3. There is no us
4. Ok
5. Appreciate it but ive got it
6. I dont do favors. If you need something let me know and we'll talk about it.
7. Ok (not feeding into it, making it obvious i dont care)
8. I dont argue. This is how things are done while im here. (Dont care face)
1: No compliments, i am only
doing my job.
2: You should only do the right thing always not for the sake of anyone.
3: secret is not welcomed here , and there's no us we work according to the rules
4: Never mind, when he says it to me direct i will handle it.
5: common, the only way to get my back is to obey the prison rules.
6 : if only its within the prison policies
7: it doesn't make any difference, I'm always upright
8: whatever you did with him is okay but this is my shift you have to follow my own oders
#4. Sometimes I quickly let them know to Never approach me to tell me about another staff member. But sometimes I say "OK, let's both go talk to Ofc. Jackson." Their tune quickly changes.
That is a great move. I need to hold onto that one.
What ofc Jackson was thinking about me nice guy
Great content!
I'm not a CO, but I find the Prison system and all its crazy dynamics fascinating, and the perspective of an experienced and eloquent CO is tremendously illuminating!
Thank you Rick. I appreciate that and so does my audience
#1 I would make sure I say you like it because I treat you with respect and fairness. That’s why!
Beautiful. I love how you make it known that you run by rules and remain fair
1. Go back to you cell
2. Go back to you cell
3. No. We can't.
4. Ok. Good for him, now go back to your cell
5. Ask "is something going to go down?" Then toss the whole cell block
6. Nope.
7. Go back to your cell
8. I'm not officer Jackson
It doesn't matter what another officer says behind my back. He/she doesn't sign my paycheck.
Favors: "No, I don't do favors!" I usually walk away because when I ask what do you need the inmate proceeds to ask the favor.
Eclipse1Worlds great response and excellent perspective
It's simple really. I used to get all flustered but over time it's just gotten to were I'm pretty nonchalant about everything. I really don't listen to what inmates say unless it's work related and if it's not I just say go away. Lol or the blank stare is nice. I don't ever get in my feelings like some people do. It's work and I'm there to do a job and that's literally the only thing on my mind. If an inmate tries to distract me I literally brush him off and continue doing what I'm doing. Like one time I was going through the mail and an inmate comes to the flap and tries to make small talk. I just stare at him with annoyance and then say ok walk away now.
Well said
I have only said the first one to certain guards "Man, I am glad you are working tonight" I really meant it because I dreaded the other guard working, but then I think a lot of his peers did too. Here is one some people i knew asked certain guards. . First they act like their lighter is not working then ask,"hey can I get a light from you?" This was just to see if the guard would do it so they can ask for other things later. I am wondering what line they use now since they banned smoking in Missouri a couple years ago.
1. That's Great
2. Okay
3. There's no such thing as privacy public or private.
4. Thanks for letting me know, I'll take care of it later.
5. Really
6. You tying to get locked up?
7. Okay, should I be afraid?
8. Good for him, unfortunately, I'm Officer Leal, and I ain't gonna allow it so don't ask again.
#1. Why thank you for volunteering for a random search congratulations!

@@grumpytaz4410 lmao! I have actually heard that used on one of my cellies. Asshole caused our cell to get tore up.lol
I’m doing this shit! Lol.
One thing I enjoy that my Sgt says is," Who ever came up with the word 'Trustee' for inmates, is either an idiot or has never worked in a jail/prison a day in their life."
Your questions in this video require you to think on your feet. However, here are some words of advice when you approach each question.
Remember....
1) Be Firm, Fair, and Consistent (Professional).
2) Trust, but verify! (Officers, staff, inmates, etc.)
3) Just because they are a 'Trustee' doesn't mean they are trustworthy.
Eclipse1Worlds excellent advice. Btw...I don’t use the word trustee either
1. Ok
2. That’s nice
3. No
4. Ok
5. I wouldn’t respond to that
6. No(what do u need)
7. Wouldn’t respond
8. I’ll check with him
#1 I am just doing my job
#2 if I gave him a order to do it id respond yes you do have to do it or you can take a write up and I'll find someone else (if allowed)
3# I don't keep secrets

5# thanks but I am good
6# I don't do favors only my job (I get this one alot)
7# don't worry about me
8# I am not officer jackson so you're not going to do it but we can talk to jackson when he comes in
These are great. All responses are quick and to the point and leaves no room for the inmate to maneuver. Thank you for the post
Tier Talk Correctionsone TH-cam Channel I read the verbal judo book :)
Great book. Lol
You had allot so I will pick one. When an inmate says "Hey can you do me favor" My first and only response is I DONT FAVORS" What is that you need.
Well said. Great response.
My response EXACTLY!
1. My response was always, shit that can’t be good. I have to change that.
2. Don’t mistake my asking you for it not being an order. I just say it like that so it shows manners
3. Nope
4. That’s nice. Thanks.
5. Don’t worry about me. I have it covered
6. I don’t do favors. What do you want.
7. Okay good.
8. I’m not that officer.
The whole objective is to remember that inmates are not your friends and to maintain the proper relationship
1) That's only because you haven't pissed me off yet
2)Actually you do have to do this, because it results in a cdv for failing to follow a directive
3) absolutely
4) ok, there's alot of people that talk about me
5)yup, I'm sure you do ( sarcasm)
6) I don't do favors period!
7) I know he is I called him
8) Then that's on him but I am not letting you do it
1. All officers should be following policy n procedures so thank you glad I'm doing my job right
2. Any direct order should be obeyed from every officer or supervisor not only me
3. Anything you have,to say to me will be documented and I will,give it to the supervisor
4. Alright let me,know what ofc Jackson is saying *get notepad out write down detainee name time date n,comments* okay I will confirm this with ofc Jackson and a supervisor thank you for letting me know
5. If anything goes down my fellow officers n,supervisors have my back Your assistance is,not,needed unless,you want to end up in lockdown
6. No,favors, but if you need anything let me,know now,and I will,try to accommodate you when I have the time I am,not promising,anything
7. If I,am,doing my job right I don't mind my supervisor coming unless you are hiding anything?
8. Ofc. Jackson is not,here right now this is my shift and we are going to do,it the right way .
I work at a rehab facility where there are ex inmates coming from prison. I am having a hard time with them listening to me and with them wanting to talk just to flirt. Its frustrating and intimidating bc they know i am new and dont know the policies. Any help would be greatly appreciated. they say similar stuff like this all the time.
2. If it is part of the regulations you have to do it
Videos are always informative and applicable to real life scenarios. Keep up the great work, been helping me out a lot!
Thank you
It’s about being able to connect with inmates but not to dance their tunes. So most of the time just respond with”Nice, be cool” no matter what they said, then go on to “walking and talking” to next one to see if “early sign of trouble” shown. So just smile and “repeat what he said and say Right on, be cool”. After that if the inmate really need to ask you something he would ask again.
1. Nice to know
2.You should do whatever your told to do. It shouldn't matter who's asking you
3. Absolutely not!
4. I don't care to hear about what he may of said!
5. You don't have to worry about me that's what my brothers and sisters are for!
6. Depends on if its in the guidelines.
7. Ignore he/she
8. I'm not concerned about what he allowed you to do. This is my shift and I'm going to run it accordingly!
4. Until I hear from officer Jackson, I won't worry about it
#5 I don't need you to have my back my co-workers have my back
Well said. They are trying to make you feel obligated to them
1.Good for you.
2. You will do what you are told no matter who says it.
3.No
4. And? Who cares
5.No you will stay out of the way and follow commands.
6.No
7.And?
8.Good for him but i'm working today and i'm not going to let you.
1. Well in that case maybe I should right more tickets.
2. Don’t do it at all
3. No
4. (ignore)
5. Knock it off
6. No
7. You don’t have to tell me my co-workers do already
8. Well this is how we are doing it today
#1. I have a standard response to all statements made like that, where I loudly tell him to Quit Kissing Ass. Then the other inmates laugh at him.
Love it. Make it pound and known
1. Great
2. What ya got pimp?
3. Fo Sho
4. He good joe. What he on?
5.Nah, you look weak as hell...hahha
6. You got some noodles for me, I'm hungry.. (SPIN)
7. Yeah, He is actually, tell everyone to put their uniform on. Hurry up dude
8. Shooot. He will be here tomorrow, holla at him.
1. Thanks
2. Okay then
3. No
4. Why
5. Sure you do...??
6. No I don't do favors
7. That's my boss
8. Stop spreading rumors
#2. There is a choice. You don’t have to. But there will be repercussions if you don’t.
I love it. I also like to let them know they can easily be replaced.
I did 10 years in prison ask a me a convict
So what were you looking for when you behaved like this toward the officers? Do you even know?
1. Just doing my job like everyone else.
2. You should be following the directives of anyone working in this section. Is there a valid reason you think you shouldn't have to?
3. Sorry, I can't do that, and I don't keep secrets from my fellow officers.
4. Okay...?
5. What exactly do you plan to have "going down"? I trust in my ability and my fellow officers.
6. I don't do favors. If there is something legitimate I can check on for you or you have any concerns regarding your stay or your current court process (not that I would probably find myself dealing with court processes as much in a prison compared to a jail) I can see if there is anything I can do, though I can't make a concrete decision whether I can do anything at this time; and again, I don't do favors.
7. Okay...?
8. Well Officer Jackson isn't here right now, I am.
These are hard ones because I'm inherently a polite person, so saying things like thank you are just my nature, but it can also potentially open doors up that you don't want opened. Not to say you should never say thank you to an inmate, but I think it needs to be very cautioned and few and far between in the right circumstances. There shouldn't really be an opportunity for an inmate to be able to misconstrue a thank you as conceding that they did you a favor. For instance, "come cuff up", "yes sir no problem" "thanks". No issue there. He's going to cuff up either way, he's only doing himself a favor, and if saying thanks will make it easier on everyone in the future, not a big deal to me.
1. Damn... I’m touched... time for a cell search 🔦
2. That’s nice.
3. No. 👎🏻
4. Time to search your bunk.
5. Don’t worry about my back.
6. Let’s go search your bunk.
7. That’s nice.
8. I don’t give a hoot what officer Jackson let’s you do, I’m here tonight, not officer Jackson.
#8. I'M NOT OFFICER JACKSON! Im Sgt. Smith, just in case you can't read the name on my shirt.
Say nothing, shake down his shot caller and take his contraband.
7. Thanks for the warning. I'll see if he wants to help shake you down.
Lmfao
1.ok…
2. You should do ( whatever the order was) anyways. Not just because I am here.
3. Hell no
4. Ok …
5.I got it , I don’t need help
6. No. Go on
7. Shouldn’t be doing anything wrong to get caught. So who cares if the supervisor is coming.
1. GOOD. THAT MEANS WE WILL HAVE A QUIET NIGHT, WITH NO PROBLEMS, RIGHT?
2. IF YOU HAVE TO DO IT JUST FOR ME, YOU DONT NEED TO DO IT AT ALL.
3. NOPE
4. I DONT LET WHAT OTHER PEOPLE SAY ABOUT ME AFFECT HOW I OPERATE.
5. YOU CAN HAVE MY BACK BY FOLLOWING ANY DIRECT ORDERS I GIVE TO YOU/THE UNIT IF A SITUATION ARISES.
6. I DONT DO FAVORS
7. THATS NICE.
8. I DONT CARE, IM HERE NOW.
Rephrase number 1 please. Saying the q word means it won't be.
1. Ok.
2. Ok.
3. I can’t promise you that
4. Ok
5. Ok
6. No
7. Ok
8. Ok
Simple and to the point. I wouldn’t say anything but ok. Don’t know if that’s right but that’s what I would do
1. “I’m flattered” in a flat, dismissive manner.
3. No
4. If s/he has anything to say about me s/he can say it to my face. Until then, I’m not going to fret about it.
5. My coworkers have my back
6. No. (If it were a model prisoner, or well behaved or if I were familiar with them from previous professional interactions, I might be a little nicer about it and say “I wish I could but I can’t.”
7. “Is there something you think s/he should be concerned about?”
8. I’m not officer Jackson
Depends on how much time I had in . As a rookie. I'd probably say , "oh really" then id search his cell later.... as an o.g., it would be more understandable because of the rapor and the consistencies throughout the day.
a favoite of mine was "the other guard let me" and the response is ask the other guard
I would. Let them know their name is being used
@@TierTalk Agreed, but they didn't use names, that was a code violation, which usually resulted in a tune up
David Shepherd smart
Be funny to start posting all the crap they claim, "other officers let them do," so everyone could simultaneously crack down on the same thing and restrict the same privilege. Lol
I start my first day with my FTO on Monday 2nd shift. Looking forward to watching and learning more from your channel
Thank you for joining the family
Thank you, starting over after 14 years in HVAC sales. Feel like this is what I should be doing
@@bam6342 it’s a great profession. There are so many routes. Just always remember YOUR purpose in this profession. Basically, why you made the choice to be in corrections.
Absolutely!
3. I will judge after. If it causes safety or security issues of ANY kind, watch what you say.
Great response
You got my back if anything goes down, really? Cuff up! Let's go talk to the captain, u got some Intel that he would love to hear
That is right on point. I like that. Obviously he knows something. That is a great approach.
thats perfect. the first time an inmate tells me that, this is the response ill use.
That would be awesome
smh
Hilarious. I can just imagine the bitch-slapped look on the inmate's face at the end of that statement.
8. When I work, I run it how my sergeant wants the shift run, not how other people do it.
Andre Babin agreed. I just hope your supervisors are consistent with each other. Consistency is key
Be careful. Sounds like you just opened a door to more arguments.
1. Thank u
2. U should do it cuz it the right thing to do
3. Absolutely not
4. That’s fine
5. The best way to have my back is to stand back
6. Absolutely not
7. Okay
8. My name is Officer Ebanks tho.
1) Ok
2) You should be doing it no matter who asks
3) You know I can't do that.
4 ) Ok
5) I get where you're coming from, but I can do my own job
6) No
7) Ok, and?
8) I'm not Jackson.
I'm just getting out of the academy so any advice is appreciated!
Be yourself. Take what the academy has taught you and use that as a foundation, but listen to senior staff. Read policies and procedures. Start off firm and strict. Don’t be afraid to say NO. And never forget who you are dealing with.
With that said...Congrats.
Btw...we have a lot do good training videos in this channel that cover exactly what you asked.
@@TierTalk thank you so much for posting these. Definitely going to listen to the podcasts too!
Sammie Gracia I am honored. Thank you
1. I don't need you to approve of me. I need to do my job.
2. Don't do me any favors.
3. There are no secrets in prison.
4. Let officer Jackson tell me what he has to say about me.
5. Why would you care, you don't even know me.
6. No. I don't do favors.

6) no
7) I told him I have some info on an inmate guess he wants to hear it.
8) I bet you wish I was ofc Jackson
Love this. It sounds just like you. Lol
My answer to almost all of these comments would be "Why?". It's very disarming and clears the air of any potential fraternizing or misunderstanding.
Aaron Phillips so true. “Why” also brings it back our control
#3. As long as it is professional and safe.
Fair enough
Q. Yo, we like it when you are working here.
A. Oh, why is that, inmate? Why do you like it when I'm working here?
Q. Yo, Officer Jeffrey was talking negative about you..
A. Oh, that's good to know.
O. If I tell you something, can you keep it between us?
A. No. There are no secrets between you and I. Whatever you have to tell me, I am gonna to tell my supervisor etc.
Q. Can you do me a favor?
A. I do notdo favors for you. I am not obligated to you in anyway. Nor will I be made to feel obligated to you. No Resiprosity here.
Q. But Officer Jeffrey does it?
A. I'm not Officer Jeffrey. By the way, I'm gonna be following up with Officer Jeffrey and let him know you're dropping his name.
1. Inquire more to see why. Is it because
I'm fair but still firm or is it because I'm not doing something right.(granted they aren't going to tell me)
2. It's situational is it becuse is he refuseing to cuff up and we have a good repor or is it because of something else.
3. Nope we sure can not
4. Good for officerJackson.
5. I got my own back. If anything goes down you go back to your cell.
6. I don't do favors but if there is something that you need like indegint supplies then I can see what I can
7. Good, I like my supervisor anything he tells me is a learning experience.
8. Well I guess that officer Jackson is different then me. He may let you do things and I may do things different.
#1. Thanks I appreciate it.
#2.You need to do the directions given to you by all Officers and Staff you know this.
#3. It can stay between me you and the staff so No. But if you want to don't want the other inmates knowing sure.
#4. Okay... That's not important and you don't need to be starting any drama so keep to yourself.
#5. Thanks I don't need you to have my back my officers have my back. If you really want to have my back drop me or my staff a kite if anything is going down or is about to go down.
#6.No I don't do favors.
#7. I'm a professional I'm not worried if the supervisor is coming you be careful.
#8. Officer Jackson isn't here I am and I said no
Great. Great response to some very familiar inmate statements.
Thank you thank you I'm new I'm green and haven't been on the floor yet, but I will be. Thank you for this channel very helpful and will ultimately keep our brothers and sisters safe. I have gain alot of knowledge that will help me when I get behind the wall.
+Sofia Allensworth thank you Sofia for the great words. Your statement is the reason why I do it
1. I would think to myself I have gotten too relaxed with that unit, but still ask why because sometimes inmates like when there’s an officer present that can actually do the job.
2. Depending on the context maybe thank them, but remind them I don’t do favors in return and don’t owe inmates jack.
3. No, there’s no secrets or privacy in prison.
4. Officer Jackson is entitled to his opinion and it’s not good practice for him to be saying anything about other officers in front of inmates, IF he actually said anything at all.
5. I appreciate the gesture, but I can handle it myself, if not I have a whole line of officers that have my back.
6. I don’t do favors, you want a favor done, there’s a kiosk you can ask the guy who’s job it is to do your favors. If you don’t wanna ask him it’s probably something you shouldn’t ask for, therefore I won’t do it.
7. Why do I need to be careful if I’m doing my job? You’re the ones who need to be careful.
8. Last I checked the name on my shirt wasn’t Officer Jackson, I’m here, for the next 8-16 hours this is MY house. MY rules.
1. Thank-you. I always make sure I do my job fairly and ethically. or I would say, why is that?' and then address any inference if there was any to make sure any other prisons listening were clear on my boundaries. 2. Depending on what it was, 'I appreciate that John, but you know what is required of you here and this is for your benefit and not mine' 3. ' would you like to give me a bit more information about what you are asking, so I can better understand if I am able to help you with this or not ' 4. 'that must have been the day he was talking shit about you too' - No, I'm kidding HAHA. ' Thanks John. I am confident officer Jackson holds himself to the appropriate standard of behaviour, but if you have a formal complaint you would like to make then I will be sure to make sure thats investigated' 5. 'Can you explain this comment a little more to me, please? Should I be concerned for my safety?' 6. ' What are you asking me to do? I'm not comfortable with the word 'favour' but if there is a way I can help or support you within my ethical and professional duty then I will.' 7. 'I'm not sure what you mean, I always welcome the presence of my supervisor. 8. 'Are you telling me that Officer Jackson doesn't follow policy and protocols?'
You guys like it huh, thanks for the support.
Fair firm and consistent
How would you answer these Anthony?
6. No, that sounds like it involves doing something, and they don't pay me enough for that.
I love the sarcastic control. Lol
You will do when I tell you to do because that's a lawful order and you will carry out what I told you to do. No favors.
