I know right. Soon the customers are probably going to file complaints againt OP!

Well they have to have high standards in prisons! They are treated better than school kids these days anyways!

I just watched the Shawshank Redemption and for some reason im on the crminals' side. Nahh this is real life FYL.

8 - Pink Floyd would agree

65- don't be a douche and judge people on what music they like. She can listen to whatever music she wants.

Omg I luv jb too

Same here... Bieber can burn for all I care...I honestly fear for the future of he music industry...

65, I did the same. Bieber can burn for all I care...I honestly fear for the future of he music industry if the crap that Justina Bieber "sings" is considered good music...I quit listening to the radio because there were very VERY few songs that were not promoting shallow, egocentric values such as getting laid, drunk, or high. Want some decent music? Check out Veela, Nonelikejoshua, H_8 Seed, Soundoftheaviators Echelon, Jackle App, Wooden Toaster, Ephixa... There are several artists whose music you can get for either free or very cheap that is much better than the crap that is put on the radio.

Ahh corporate radio. Where Y.O.L.O. Became famous. Worthless shit infecting the low-minded commoners. Yes, i hate this hip-hop, rap, and pop mainstream shit. They all can get tossed into a biohazard waste dump.

How does this go from jail to Justin bieber? FML these days...

My husband was a corrections officer for a couple of years, too. My understanding was that you WANTED to build rapport with he inmates (within reason) so they'd be more cooperative with you.

That's exactly right. If you mistreat the inmates you are creating a bad situation for everyone. Having a rapport and treating the inmate with respect is the best way to keep a peaceful and cooperative environment. Makes everyone safer!

I throw half dollars my good sir.

I throw silver and gold dollars.

I throw handcuffs on them.

Do they even make halfdollars anymore? I havent seen one in years!

Their major complaint was that the other inmates had too much trouble finding the soap bars when dropped in the shower. They requested better contrast in the colours. Otherwise they complained that cardboard cutlery didn't lend itself to making shivs as well as the old cutlery in the canteen.

Yeah, they can't be in prison like, "I killed four people... But can I get some softer sheets up in here?"

I honestly cannot imagine what it is OP did that could make his manager say he "lacks costumer skills". Maybe he works at the cafeteria and falls under pressure (being that they're dangerous criminals) and gives them freebies?

Generally, 53, it's the inmates themselves who work in the cafeteria.

You're right. They're in jail for a reason. Therefore they don't deserve to be happy.

Agreed 14

The customer is always right!

14- I do agree with your general statement, but you can't be an ass to them just for the hell of it. If you want to avoid riots, etc, you need the inmates to trust and respect you, to an extent.

I never said you could be an ass, 57, but you can't cater to their every whim, either. Most inmates haven't done anything to deserve respect, and certainly haven't done anything to deserve trust. If they want it, they'll definitely have to work that much harder for it.

Someone's been watching Hard Time. COUGH Kylie COUGH

99- No, my husband was a Corrections Officer for a couple of years.

That doesn't apply in most situations!

This is the United States. We arrest and lock up a fuckton of people that don't really deserve such harsh punishment. While I agree that there shouldn't necessarily be customer service standards in prisons, being a douchebag to other people just because you can is not acceptable under any circumstances.

Really? There are a lot of people that break the law and don't get severe enough punishment. They have x-boxes in their cells and have tv. They get three meals a day and social hours. That to me isn't punishment.

And then there are innocent people living on the streets. Because they're treated so well in prison, they act up when they're released to go back to it.

They're in jail for rehabilitation not punishment. In theory, at least.

Actually they don't have xboxes in their cell weel in the Tennessee prisons anyway. And 3 meals a day? Not hardly. They get barely enough food to nourish a 2 yr old and they don't get lunch served on the weekends. So many people r there that don't deserve to be. Of course there are the ones that need to be there and never deserve to see daylight again but everyone if them r human and deserve to be treated as such.

Never heard of a club for Billy.

Really... It's called a billy club. Not a club for billy.

I don't care if it's a 'Billy Club' or a 'Club for Billy', I haven't heard of either of them...

There's this really absurd book that's been published. It's called a dictionary. There's even an app for that. Try it out. You may learn something.

I think… that's the point in jail. isn't it?

I think... it was the irony. Wasn't it?
