A Charredtorso story.

OVER THE CUCKOO'S NEST WITH CHARRED.

I'm going to divide up my adventures working custody for the Feds into Psyche Unit and Medical Unit stuff. If well received I can do another 20 or so stories.

As I mentioned before I work mostly custody for a Federal Law Enforcement agency as a civilian contractor. We make about the same money but none of the benefits the Feds make. They are happy as hell to hand off this type of work to us and they rely on our training as cops or former correction officers to keep inmates from escaping and or killing hospital staff. Other than weapons qualifications we have no formal training other than what we learned as cops or prison guards.

One 2-10 shift I showed up for in the psyche unit was of note. I walked into the room and saw a moderately attractive female inmate. She greeted me warmly and asked my name. When we have female inmates we always have a female co-worker in case we have to search the inmate or go into the bathroom with them. Within a few minutes the inmate was becoming more and more agitated! She cussed me out like a trained crack whore and shared some thoughts about my partner too. She was provided with a snack, consisting of a box of juice, a cookie and a Styrofoam container of fruit.

Without warning she threw the milk as hard as she could at my partner and caught her right in the forehead. We took the rest of her snack away and that resulted in 2 hours of constant screaming! The staff (suck ass psyche tech and nurses) demanded we give her snack back. "Sure, if you give us catcher's masks or we can three point restrain her (both wrists and one leg)".

She became more and more agitated and started displaying her very well formed and perky breasts and rubbing them while pinching her nipples. My female partner had to keep telling her to cover up.

When dinner arrived, without warning, she threw her entire chicken, rice and re-fried bean dinner right into my chest! I snapped and bounced the chicken off her head in a forceful manor! This time the nurse and the tech ran into the room and demanded to know why I threw her food all over myself(?!) 'who are the crazy bitches now?' The inmate began screaming that I assaulted her with the chicken and the reason she threw her food at me was because 'He can smell my period'.

A quick call to my supervisor, who actually answered his phone, got this crazy bitch 5 point restrained (arms, legs and a belly belt). She spent the next 6 weeks in 5 point restraint! Every time we had to take her to the bathroom it was a spitting pissing brawl! The Feds finally threw her on a plane and she was off to a full padded cell lock down hospital for the criminally insane.

A co-worker, a 95 pound Filipino male, with no law enforcement experience and I were waiting on the ambulance dock for an inmate being transferred by our people from the down town lock up. This was a direct admit to the psyche unit and by the expression on the transporting officers, we were in for an interesting evening. Minutes later tiny male Negro, that was shackled, belly chained and cuffed, literally flew out the back of the transport van! He was like a 130 pound electric eel. He fought, kicked and head butted his way in a wheelchair to the psyche unit!

Even though he was and is bat shit crazy he picked out the weakness and fear in my partner. Even the nursing staff got tired of his shit within a few minutes and decided to shoot him up with the 'Hippo Tranquilizer'! It took my partner, myself, officers from two other rooms and 4 of the hospital security staff to hold this 130 pound individual down for the shot in his ass! The shot knocked him out for about 2 hours when the psyche tech walked in.

"We have to wake him up, he cant just lay there all night...."

"Okay, wake him up and you can listen to him rant, spit and scream, we'll go sit in the hall and watch you!"

"You can't do that!"

"Just watch us......."

He slept for about 6 hours, then it started over again and went on for 2 months, before they released him to the streets on a parole violation.

These are just 2 illustrations of the 100+ psyche inmates I have had to deal with over the last 7 years. I have dealt with inmates that scared me as much as an armed ghetto criminal, if not more.

If they are crazy and they pull your eye out, break something or kill you, they are crazy and don't even get additional time in custody. I also have some very bizarre medical inmates that will make interesting reads. Let me know your puerile interests, I am sure I have an inmate story to match up with it...
