CO fired for not following orders...see why
According to InDepthNH,org a female Concord Prison CO was fired for "refusing to follow a direct order."
The staffing levels at the men's prison had dropped to unsafe levels. CO Claudia Cass Prescott (working nightshift) emailed her supervisor and said that if there wasn't adequate staff she wouldn't unlock the cells on her next shift.
The result? A suspension, forced to undergo a psychological evaluation then termination.
Short staffing in jails and prisons is unfortunately very common. Each institution deals with it differently. Sadly it's a leading cause of inmate on staff violence.

National Correctional Officer Week
The first full week in May is National Correctional Officer Week. Corrections Officers are considered First Responders, but we're also last responders. After the 911 call, after the arrest and also after the conviction CO's are the ones who deal with those who have been separated from society. CO's operate in a dangerous environment out of sight of the rest of Society keeping dangerous people from the rest.
Thank you Correctional Officers.
