Last Answer on February 10, 2022

Have you ever seen high level or well known people. Such as cases that made national or international news, a celebrity, a famous person, or someone else who was well known?

Asked by Martian almost 6 years ago

A few. Ronald Regan once (when he was Governor of CA). Jerry Brown a couple of times, when he was Governor and I was on the Board of Directors of the Correctional Officer's union. Father Kelly, a well-known child molester who was a prisoner at the prison I worked at. A couple of members of the Bechtel family (the construction people). A few higher ups within the DOC in CA. Several other famous (notorious) prisoners a time or two.

What do you think of Folsom prison Blues by Johnny Cash?

Asked by Jessie over 5 years ago

I am not a huge fan of C&W but I do like his voice. Kind of like smooth whiskey.

What do you think of Maxwell and how should they protect her from suicide, being killed, escaping, or whatever could happen?

Asked by Pearl almost 6 years ago

I am not worried about an escape. I doubt she has the skill set or connections to pull that off. Suicide prevention is fairly easy, it's called suicide watch. It is expensive but very effective if employed correctly. (It WASN'T employed correctly in Epstein's case.) I strongly suspect that, after Epstein's death, there is little danger of anything untoward happening to her at least in the short term.

As far as what I think of her, I think she is a disgusting turd.

Have prisoners ever taught you anything?

Asked by Dan almost 6 years ago

Not that I specifically recall, no. I am sure it happened, but just wasn't very noteworthy.

What kinds of drama did you have among co workers, inmates, and other people who had to deal with?

Asked by Amy almost 6 years ago

All kinds. Most of the on-going drama was person as opposed to job related. Sick family, dying family, dead family, personal relationships turning to crap, that sort of thing. Work getting in the way of family. Family getting in the way of work. Usual stuff.
