Hello All, As a 18 year veteran of TDCJ and former Supervisor I find it amazing how TDCJ adminstration can promote some of the people it does today. It took me 18 years to promote from CO1 to A mid-level Supervisor after 7 units with a college degree. I have seen individuals being promoted to Captain with little or real exsperience in a real rock-in-roll prison such as Terrible Terrell in the 1990's. Having CS deep inside your lungs and still being able to throw down. Thats the dedication and exsperience you cant teach in a book. The Agency has lost that and is beyond saving. This is in-turn why I left with 18 years of knowledge. Although I loved the people and the service I provided to the community I only wanted the best for my shift. I hope the agency brings new leadership with all the new administration in recent weeks. I hope to return myself when or if the agency promoted a more safer and educated workforce. oldblood1970

The agency isn't what it once was in the 80's. I started in '82 on Ramsey. It will never go back to what it once was back then, never. So, what do we do? We still got youngsters they're hiring on that don't have a clue how to look out for each other, or how to handle convicts. I returned from retirement after being off a year. I've been asked to go up for rank again, and I won't. They have the sergeants, and lieutenants doing to much bullshit paperwork now days. And, they'll write them up for petty bullshit that don't mean squat in the grand scheme of things. Instead, I came back as a CO5, and I try to teach these youngsters how to work with each other, how to treat each other, and how to manage convicts.
Some learn better than others. Those youngsters are the future of our agency, and I hope they catch on. The old school folks like you and I either have to adapt to conditions or move on. I've somewhat adapted. Although, sometimes I do have to catch myself, and remind myself that these sensitive souls need fucking pampering.

As one of the new age officers, I believe we need a "Safe space" on each unit. It'll just be a nice air conditioned, potpourri scented room where we can go when things just get to be too rough.

Seems like a good way to make rank. Better than being sirly and complaining.
