Monotonous Chaos: The Ramblings of a Prison Guard

By Kathryn Cantrell and Michael Ray Cantrell

Over 500,000 people work in the jails, correctional centers and prisons in the United States. Those correctional workers walk into a manmade hell each day and face some of the toughest criminals and most violent mental health inmates the U.S. has to offer. They spend eight or more hours a day forgotten by the society that depends on them. There will be no hero's welcome for the lives they save today. There will be no fanfare or parades. Instead they will have feces thrown at them, and they will wade through blood to prevent the next suicide or stabbing on their watch.If they do their job right today, no one will know. If they do it wrong, it will be front page headlines tomorrow.When the shift is over, they will be expected to drive home and act just like everyone else. To forget the images of killing, rape, blood, and violence that rattle around in their mind. To look at their wife and kids with love, and not let them know that evil does really exist.This is the ramblings of one such correctional officer.
