"Time is a great teacher, but unfortunately it kills
all its pupils."
I've been told on numerous occasions that "we"
need to keep my classroom full, and rightfully so; after all, I do get paid to
teach. But the implied "we," the proverbial "we," the I'll
support you, I'll stand by you (from a reasonably safe distance of course; been
down that road in my personal life), the I'll do whatever it takes to have
living breathing bodies occupying space in your area of control, does not in
any way, shape, or form deal with the real issues at hand.
I do realize it's the holidays and "we" need to
keep the young meat puppets from sticking each other, "we" need to
stop all the moose knuckling, all the knuckle snorting, all the unstructured face
time, but really? seriously? do you honestly think filling up my classroom will
free-up some of the segregation cells and return us to semi-normalcy? Here's
the most current segregation breakdown (subject to change based upon future
incidents):
Cell 1: Fighting (11.29.11)
Cell 3: Fighting (11.16.11)
Cell 4: Protective Custody (11.29.11)
Cell 5: Fighting (11.29.11)
Cell 6: Fighting (11.23.11)
Cell 7: Fighting (11.28.11)
Cell 8: Fighting (11.28.11)
Cell 9: Fighting (11.29.11)
Cell 11: Assault on Prisoner (11.10.11)
Cell 12: Fighting (11.28.11)
Cell 13: Possession of Weapon (11.22.11)
Cell 14: Threatening Behavior (10.25.11)
Cell 15: Dangerous Contraband (11.19.11)
Cell 16: Possession of Weapon (11.12.11)
Cell 17: Dangerous Contraband (11.20.11)
Cell 18: Possession of Weapon (11.29.11)
Cell 19: Fighting (11.28.11)
Cell 20: Fighting (11.18.11)
Cell 21: Suicide Watch (11.29.11)
Cell 22: Suicide Watch (11.29.11)
Cells 2 & 10 are not listed and readily available as soon as the transportation van enters the sallyport. The bottom line: When one bag of meat leaves, another bag of meat is delivered. Heck, 4 days of segregation for the young meat puppet who tenderized his opponent in my classroom. Not bad, considering their classroom seats were saved. Welcome back guys!

For a small fee I will sit in your classroom 8 hours a day but I want to ride in with you and W and more importantly ride out every day with you 2 as well.
Great story. Hey, maybe we can talk Gov Dick bob into exporting our young lifers to China. Even up the balance of trade. They get labor (China's labor camps are lovely this time of year) we start working on our debt reduction and empty our prisons at the same time lowering our state expenditures. He did it with our nanotechnology. Why not this? Your stories always leave me a thinkin JR. Huck ;}
We is an easy concept when one of "we" is looking at the other "we" through the glass. And the first "we" doesn't have to deal with the idiots. Good Luck, and happy holidays. W.W.
P.S. I am no longer one of the unemployed statistics. I am employed teaching young offenders in a juvenile porgram. And they told me that prison teaching experience doesn't count. I guess it counts for something right. It means that I can be counted on to deal with felons, even young ones. To be honest, they are worse than the ones I dealt with at your place. Felonies plus teenage hormones equals a lot of fun.
Great quotation!
How does one define “normal” in a prison? Or even “semi-normal”?
Time for a change of scenery Jim come up north
Just a little farther! It is realy laid back here.
JR I think there is some validity in what Huck
stated. TWM you can help W pass out shovels to these killers. Maybe with any luck they can wack each other. WW glad to see you are working. J.W I couldn't blame JR for leaving for greener pastures, Charmaigne spends all day chasing pussy and has totaly FU the rosters should be a fun audit. JR as always Samuel would be proud. Hucks Gang signing off.
Yeah, stand behind you, way behind you.
Of course I would have to agree with Huck and his gang. TWM I'm not looking forward to the 2012 growing season or the upcoming audit. JR, enjoyed the read. The real deal. MW
W.W., I certainly can relate to not counting on so many different levels. "i" (yeah, little "i") don't count for 20 years of teaching prisoners & "i" don't count for 18 years of marriage & "i" don't count for fa... nevermind. But "i" do count for paying off & giving away a house & "i" do count for spousal support checks & "i" do count for healthcare (even if its fraud) & "i" do count for so much more that "i" am so greatful for not taking out a life insurance policy on myself.
I once did a thesis on MAD Magazine, especially MAD #2.
My reseaerch showed Melvin Mole, a man out of Control. "John Law! John Law! You'll never get me! Nein, Nicht. Never!"
He pulls out an automatic and fires in all directions.
Eventually he is dungeoned and executed.
But your moles get educated!
