I work at a small jail and I'm the only RN. I've gotten plenty of love letter, hate mail, and some really bad sex letter. Our deputies, Sgt and Major do not take these letters lightly. I'm also noticed by ex-inmates in our small town. I do carry a gun in my car and and home. My children are also noticed because they have been with me when I'm noticed. I always hear "HEY NURSE LADY CAN I GET MY DRUGS!" This is when I'm in public. The one thing the inmates are not aloud to do is disrespect me at any way when they come into my office. I say good morning to them and they must respond the same. if they became rude or disrespectful the deputies escort them out of the office. Be safe and never turn your back. I sleep better at night because I am with a police office from another jail.:smiley_ab
