Hello, I just finished my 4th week of a rotation at a 500 + maximum security population. I have had problems with a couple of I/M's. One I firmly redirected not to call me by my first name & curse at me, which I wrote him up for. His behavior has continued to be taunting, harrassing, & threatening, & the CO's on my pill pass did nothing about it. When I finally wrote him up, the seargent or the higher ups took some sort of action, and it stopped, but now it is continuing again. So they are going to take action again. However, aren't the CO's supposed to do/say something when it happens & not just leave me to fend for myself? Another I/M has had his pants down 3 days in a row, showing his boxer shorts & doing this sexual tongue thing at me. I firmly redirected him to pull his pants up, twice, but he just laughed, & refused to follow the direct orders. Again, the CO's do not say anything. I would appreciate any of your responses. Thank you.

Here in Georgia: Convicts are convicts (male or female)... PDC or regular they are still convicts. Some act nicer than others but they are still convicts. Ever anyone ever forgets that fact: you may be harmed; correctional staff may be harmed (at a minimum). Best bet for anyone entering into the prison health care environment is to get and read the book "Games Inmates Play." Don't end up being a notch on the inmate's cell wall.
I usually don't call on the CO's for help I call a supervisor. I'll usually want a Captain but will settle for a Lieutenant, I rarely settle for a Sergeant. When the higher ranking folks respond it's usually with fair amount of backup. Failure to respond appropriately I talk personally with a warden.
Convicts are convicts and the term corrections is a misnomer. Sure convicts are people with problems but they are people with problems locked away from general society for a reason.
