I do agency work at a jail to supplement my school nurse salary. (Weird, I know.) I'd been thinking about doing some shifts at a nearby prison. Mentioned this to another agency nurse, who used to be the nursing supervisor for a prison. She told me an interesting story...
She was working as a nurse at the prison when an inmate slipped her a love note. She was shocked and brought it to the officers, who then searched his room, and found a piece of paper with her full name, address, and phone number on it. This inmate was due to be released in 2 weeks. His crime? Rape.
He was put in "the hole" for 2 weeks and was then released. She had three small children. She said she couldn't sleep at night and was terrified (obviously.)
Fortunately it has a happy ending... she found out a little while later he was back in jail... she wasn't sure what for, and she didn't want to know.
Has anything like this happened to anyone else? I mean, I've been hit on, and there's the guy who sings the "I'm so sexy" song whenever I pass by, but never anything as scary as that.
