    "Nearly 30 officers were scrambled from neighboring North Branch Correctional Institution (NBCI) to help restore order at WCI."

    How do you scramble corrections officers from another institution? That's smart, once those prisoners find out about the officers that left they will start rioting. Why not call in the real police officers with real guns. Shoot the bastards that are rioting.

      Real police??? Are you serious? Most police can't handle being locked in with the inmates. And wow you want them to bring a gun into the institution. What if that gun gets taken then what? Go lay down and don't comment on things you clearly have no idea or understanding about.

    Taking CO's from one institute to help another normally happens after a lockdown is placed to insure a Riot won't happen.
    As for the Real Cops comment. Would you want to be placed into a prison with rioting gang members that you sent to that prison?! That's An even bigger safety issue for officers who lack the training to subdue and diffuse a situation. The main goal is the lockdown and restore order. Not add more chaos with street police.

    6:42 what type of physical test do you have to pass to be a CO?. Oh and how long is your academy?.let's face it you have a rough job, but don't have to pass a physical test which includes push up, sit ups and mile and a half timed run. You don't have PT incorporated into your academy, so don't complain about cops until your standards improve.

    They closed the door on me and let 96 inmates come out of their cells. Me and 96 inmates. They more than likely had weapons. I had none.

    How many push ups do you think would have helped me ?
