      Hey Lucita, you know what would happen if the Road Home was 'expanded'?.. A few decades ago, when my family arrived from Southern California, Salt Lake County had an estimated 300 homeless and hardly none anywhere else. ...guess how many there is today??
      You know what government bodies need to do is set stricter regulations on alcohol like 'having to scan an ID each and every time someone buys alcohol, and have it there be a limit on how much an individual can purchase in a 24 hour period' - according to their weight, size, and age. And their criminal background.
      The US military has to go deep into Mexican States, Durango, Michoacan, Jalisco, etc.. and purge that country of all those rats like they have done during war time across seas. Those cartels are nothing compared to Natzis, Vietnam, Sadam Hussain, the Korean War, Osama bin laddin...
      Maybe we won't have to build so many prisons here in Utah. 😁

    Better pay and benefits are needed to attract and retain staff. Also, having worked in corrections facilities as a nurse, I have witnessed how “guards” are treated by inmates as well as how they are viewed in the public eye. There is no respect and inmates run the show-then guards are reprimanded when something goes wrong. Inmates have too much control and at times too many rights. I’ve witnessed the way the officers are treated even by PD as PD are bringing them inmates. I have respect for PD also, but I think PD forgets that COs lives are also in danger within those walls and all they are armed with is mace. I wouldn’t encourage my kids to be a CO.

      @@stevek343 likely depends on the state you live in, but in 2015-2017 when I lived in Maine, the COs were only making somewhere between $13.75-18.00/ hr if I remember correctly. They had better benefits than I did as a nurse, for sure, but it still did not seem worth it to me. A lot of COs had left one of the facilities I had worked at because of mandatory OT and unsafe ratio of inmates to officers. I know there is currently legal actions due to officers putting in their OT and not being paid appropriately. I do not know what the current wages are, but I’m assuming they have not gone up in an appropriate proportion to the inflation.

    Attacking a corrections officer should be instant death penalty. Prison should be like Alcatraz back in the day. No TVs, no computers, give them access to read books and nothing else. You break the law you lose all rights.
