In reply to Bwj. Maybe times have changed, but this is the way it had been for years.

I have to agree that UOF – unlawful use of force is a devaluation in many ways. From the simple as in a force to register to the prison system scenario That is a more or less type of creating evil in any situation. I’m sure no one wants to go to a correctional facility. Some are lucky they didn’t have to go thru a prison system. Force never solves anything. I doubt if any wanted to go to sex therapy sessions. I wonders if CO’s need go to gun therapy themselves?

While one can’t bring back a human life its still suffering and demoralizing another. The results of this article are telling..

In reply to RET. SGT. Vito. Ok, thats just horrible what you described. I saw COs do some borderline and not so borderline illegal activity when I was in prison. But nothing like that. I do believe it though.

I’ve worked with a few correctional officers in my career. I noticed that the more a C.O./LEO had disdain for a sex offender; the more it seemed they themselves were trying to hide their own attraction to minors, were abused as children (sometimes not even sexually), or were simply low IQ(which is a huge attribute with your average c.o. as it helps with the soul crushing tedium), little to no ethics-bound grunts(and yes females can be grunts too) looking for any excuse to abuse the power and trust vested in them by their departments.

I’ll tell you an inside secret. The C.O. named and facing charges might not even have been the actual perpetrator. An old tool that C.O.’s use to keep use-of-force incidents from stacking up on their files, is that they cycle (take turns) with other c.o.’s on their shift when it’s time to do the UOF paperwork. That way I.A. is dealing with more “isolated” incidents of UOF so the punishment is lighter, and no one ever loses their jobs. Though not usually in on it, L.T./Captains look the other way as SGTs organize the cycles and figure out who’s turn it is next.

Already handcuffed and shackled, what harm could he do? As many registrants feel shackled with this label as they’re going through life, even after prison. This is shameful behavior from our government.
