I know the feeling... I am a correctional officer too. I treat the inmates with respect, I know they are inmates but still gotta treat them fair and that way you earn your respect. I am here to secure them and keep them safe and alive not to judge them and dehumanize them like some officers do.
Thank you so much for sharing this. I am currently researching prison environments as a part of my thesis and have been visiting the insides of prisons, namely Rikers Corrections. I seem to be coming to the same conclusions about the behaviors of inmates and officers alike. First of all, there are people serving time in these prisons who has committed crimes, although, they are technically not textbook criminals. The problem is, they become a part of the criminal melting pot. Secondly, I cannot wrap my head around why people would hold prisoners who are locked down in cages, to the high standard of normal behavior. If people are treated like savages, then.........!
You are exactly right my dude. the same over here as well. You get respect, you have to give respect and vice versa. They are still human beings. lot of times I communicate with them to see what's goin on with them.
Any older Rikers Island correction officers reading this, ask around about an officer named Ruth(Bambi/Banny) Bancroft. In the 70's she instituted the inmate rock gardening program and the creative writing program. When she retired from Corrections in the 80's, she never stopped wanting to help people prosper. Even though she never received or sought any publicity for what she accomplished throughout her life, she was one of the finest humans to ever walk this earth. She was my mother. Blessings to all.
Yeah kalief was there his whole time he served while Korey was trying to transfer his self to different jails so it could be easier for his mom to see him . And while at rikers he was getting raped and beat up by the prisoners . And he was getting harassed by the guards.
After I got out of the Marines I worked in Corrections for two years before I got into law enforcement. I don’t miss those days. God bless all those Correction Officers out there. That is a rough job.
I started my career 27 years ago when Rikers Island was truly gladiator school. I had the pleasure of working with the most professional the most outstanding brother and sister correction officers worldwide. My 20 years were truly an education I shall never forget..NYC Boldest Forever !
Genuine question. I have a retired C.O neighbor and I've asked him the same thing. Why and how did you become interested in this career? Can't be the money, because I'm sure as you are aware, there are higher paying jobs for much less stress. Benefits? Job security? A former C.O once told me that many of his colleagues got into heavy drinking, many were divorced had trouble trusting people outside of work and so on. Don't take it as a knock on you career choice, but I am genuinely curious.
@@LittleBigKid707b From what I hear usually people think it will help them become police officers then they just dont leave the job or they need money and sometimes think corrections will be easy money but thats what I hear I'm not a corrections officer.
@@kylemillard7143 Good for you!! Happy that you enjoy your job. You and I are one of the lucky ones that can say we like our jobs. I'm from California and I don't think C.Os make over a 100K though out here. Unless they're doing a ton of over time or they're in a senior position. Just seems like a really big mental and emotional sacrifice that comes with the job. As I said in my previous comment, there certainly has to be a less stressful and easier way to make a good living. Anyway, seems like your pretty keen on your job and that's awesome. Have a blessed day and be safe in there.
@@LittleBigKid707b I can just tell by the way you responded to mr kyle here that you work in an office, and have never put in a day of hard work in your life. Watch your mouth and don't condescend to people. You also are implying that he's lying which I can say is not the case. I was born in the US but currently also live in Canada for work (not corrections, but I do know a few who work for corrections) and he's bang on about the money. You're a cocksucker, definitely UK vibes from you.
Sarah Swati this is TV are you that gullible girl these guards are evil have you ever experienced the rock you would have a different tune I experience that shit first hand as young kid I'm from Brooklyn NY the beast prayed on us shot to the 90z and bronwsville
That's how YOU CAN LOSE your LIFE in that situation by NOT controlling YOUR temper.As a former NYPD Detective,WE come close to losing our lives on a regular basis but those people that do that job in corrections have it worse than we have it on the streets and we carry guns as opposed to them without one in their housing assignments on Rikers Island.
i live in NJ, but visit the city from time to time and i love how nypd officers are always active, working and conscious of the multitude of people around them. im under the impression metropolitan police officers are the country's hardest working. but i swear, these correction officers seriously seriously earn their paychecks. God Bless you men and women
I would say it definitely takes a special person to do this job.I am not that "special person", I'm glad they have people like you sir that can work in these very harsh environments.
All do respect neko I was there and here in Florida. At the end of the day there all shyt eaters. You already know one min there good next there beating you like there the criminal. Just saying I never started trouble and was assaulted by c.o's. So forgive me if I think there all pieces of shyt
Are you really getting emotional because I called you an idiot? You missed my point. Stay out of jail if you don't wanna get treated like shit, majority of people don't care about inmates, rightfully so.
for the most part it's boring, but the boring part is what gets you complacent. every day you have to expect getting splashed. it's fucked up but it happens more often than this video would portray
Being a Corrections Officer is a boring job most of the time but at the same time it can be a very stressful job. In order to do this kind of job is you have to be able to perform your duties in under a high amount of stress and secondly you have to remain vigilant at ALL times because you never know what could happen to you or one of your staff members.
The best line is at the end, "9 out of 10 anybody has a negative say about a CO, they have never even been in a facility, ever been inside of a jail." I am a CO myself as well, and I can tell you this is 100% true. The public often thinks we are torturing guys in there for no reasons too.
It's the corrupted ones that give everyone a bad name. Not to mention the Stanford experiment. Plus, the stress of the environment can turn people toxic. It's tough to keep sane in this type of environment. And want to keep going into work. So if you are one of the good ones, you are a blessing for everyone :)
@@nya5934 I totally understand what you mean. However, the Stanford experiment is based on a setting where there is a position of power with no rules, that's why there are Corrections Regulations Acts in my country to set out regulations and policies. Also, there are character and psychological assessments in placed during the recruiting process to make sure correctional branches hire the right people. I also understand that there are private prisons in the US where their sole purpose is to make money, which is the sole reason why it gives us CO a bad name. Luckily that's not the case in my country and I can say that most CO's I know are there to do the job properly.
You shouldn't torture nobody in there for any reason. Restrain them. And that's it. Anything outside of that is considered excessive force. Upon a inmate.
@@Gina115 I am pretty sure you misunderstood me. I said "the public often thinks we are torturing guys in there for no reasons too", meaning they think we are torturing guys in there based on their imagination, when, in fact, we do not torture people, quite the opposite actually.

I was called for NYC correction officer in 1998, I went to the academy for a few days and NYC Transit called me to work as a station cleaner. I choose station cleaner, got promoted to conductor, then promoted to train Operator, next retirement in 4 years.
@@justinmcgillxboxreigns6591 Ohh that's nice, I'm doing security work right now in the hospital but working with inmates is a different story. Don't get me wrong, CO is a wonderful field with good benefits but it's VERY dangerous with the inmates who would want to harm you.
God bless these Correctional Officers, they really do a lot, between feeding prisoners that don’t deserve to get anything, and securing our prisons and making sure that the bad criminals stay out of the way, God Bless these people for protecting their families, me, my family and friends, and all of the American people.
Much respect bro👍. I live in France and I often go on vacation to the United States. I also work in prison. Started this rought job in the suburbs of Paris at 25 year old. treating the inmate with respect is the key but always stay focused from harm. may God protect you bro.
It's probably one of the most stressful jobs on the planet and thank God there are individuals willing to do it. I have three retired officers in my family and the years on the job (especially the first few) took a toll physically and emotionally on them and their families. NYCDOC have really earned the title New York's Boldest. Stay safe!
The Prince what do we do? You think that everyone Is bad? Not only that, do you think this shit is a walk in the park? Have you ever had shit thrown in your face because NYPD arrested someone but you have to suffer the consequences of not going home the same to your family?
@@tommyatkins2527 shut up you guys sight over oil in the middle East and you wanna talk about military helps more people than co's? Come back when you actually fight a real war
Kayley Dyszelski actually it does pay well depends on the state. My state for example C.O average around 75k with a couple years including OT you could bring in 100k+ when most entry level jobs average around 50-60k
I was going to work as a cook at rikers island...The interesting thing was during the process they was trying to persuade me to become a C.O....I was like hell no lol...
I remember when my Dad (RIP) was laid off from the NYPD in the 70's and the NYCDOC hired him and a lot of other laid off cops. Think he said he worked in HDM which I think is known as JATC today. The stress level was so high during that time. And so understaffed, telling me basically it was just himself and another CO w/240 inmates to watch. He would come home after an 8 hr or 16 hr tour of duty and we knew to just let him unwind for about an hr.
I know someone that used to be a CO. He use to tell me that he felt like he was a prisoner too. Also said it was depressing seeing men locked away in cages
Former New Mexico Corrections Department officer here. I've moved on to the streets now and I can't say I would ever go back to the tiers, man. You're spot on when you say it takes a special kind of person to do that job.
Off topic but my man's hairline here needs correction. Anyways, he seem like a very upstanding guy. Working in such a stressful environment while still maintaining his composure is very admirable.

Nya Michelle I did as a matter of fact. Dude has some nice cheek bones too. Nothing weird about checking out someone's features. I can say for certain you do the same with every person you encounter.
@@nikkarter5578 exactly. These types of jobs will take ANYONE with a decent background and a pulse. A lot of the people who work as a correctional officer has never even held a decent real job a day in their lives. Im an ex CO and i seen a lot of officers wear their title like a badge of honor haha. It's sad
NYC COs make 100k with benefits after 5 years. Easily 150k with OT for some. There's is actually a CO shortage so it's easy to get in. So for some it's either have a $20hr dead end job or an actual career.
@@miguelrobb5719 Out of curiosity, could this job be more of a entry level job to gain experience for something better? Like you could be a CO and then use that experience to actually be a police officer later in life? I'm just curious and have no actual interest in being a CO and I wouldn't use it as a badge of honor either. A correctional officer bragging about working in a prison wouldn't exactly sound appealing and honorable to most people.
What does this has to do with how korey was treated by the guard there because it was one guard who should be held accountable his corrupt and wicked action . As someone stated they're not going to exposed what's really going on by some of the bad guards who work there !!!
When. He said u never know what someone is going thru at home,is the same reason I say hey to all my fellow employees,mad respect for this guy,just from those words
someone who is incarcerated there and doesn't fight or cause problems isn't likely to be beaten by guards, the ones that fight, resist or throw their filth are the ones that get beaten, most deserve what they get.

I got a interview on Friday for a correctional officer position, decent pay better pay after training. Its a stepping stone while I'm in school to become a probation officer.
He seems like a great CO- authoritative but friendly-the type of staff that makes prison bearable. I Commend this man because there is a lot of corrupt and mean COs out there that do more harm than good- he seems to actually care about the inmates
Prayers for the COs that work here! That’s a big decision to work in the most dangerous prison in our country. Also prayers for the prisoners that were wrongfully convicted but still put in here!

Most are not good people. Most are human garbage. Better off with a bullet in their head and thrown into the river. Useless parasites.
Any older Rikers Island correction officers reading this, ask around about an officer named Ruth(Bambi/Banny) Bancroft.

It's probably one of the most stressful jobs on the planet and thank God there are individuals willing to do it. I have three retired officers in my family and the years on the job (especially the first few) took a toll physically and emotionally on them and their families. NYCDOC have really earned the title New York's Boldest. Stay safe!
I got called I don't think im going to do the job
Jesus will Judge why not?
pmh1nic fuck off it's actually military in prisons other stuff are up themselves clowns in crappyuniform
Military all the way
The Prince what do we do? You think that everyone Is bad? Not only that, do you think this shit is a walk in the park? Have you ever had shit thrown in your face because NYPD arrested someone but you have to suffer the consequences of not going home the same to your family?
@@tommyatkins2527 shut up you guys sight over oil in the middle East and you wanna talk about military helps more people than co's? Come back when you actually fight a real war
I respect and commend him for doing his job that type of job it comes with time and patients
My baby Korey was in this bs & didn’t deserve a minute in there ! 😔
Tiffany .M &’ so was kaleif browder . 🙁
It was worse for korey he was there in the 90 when it was corrept
Young Based it was no different than Kalief, he went through the same thing 🙏🏽
Ray Santana from cp5 was in rikers island a few times.
👀
26 years in and I totally understand how this Officer feels
He seems like such a nice young man..God Bless an Protect him 🙏🏽
The most criticised job in the world. Well done brother, protect yourself and your co workers and don’t ever back down.
I just came home from the rock , this dude still works there. He looked out for me. Truly a good dude.
Does the CPSU still exist?
Huge props to the men and women that work here. I hope they pay you well
“We need change and consistency” LOL what on oxymoron
I said the same thing lol like "we need darkness and sunlight!"
He could have been speaking of more than one subject matter. I would imagine that he has quite a few.
LMAO.. thank god I wasn't the only one who caught that
it over went over yall head that statement still has meaning
Genius
This is also where Kalief Browder was for three years
starbrightprod yes 😔😪
He died ?
Shit Head damn I was trying to be a correction officer
@@khristianhamilton9144 Yh 2 years after he came out
@@khristianhamilton9144 How do you become one?
God bless the officers that do that type of work. I definitely couldn’t do it.
I can’t believe I actually wanted to do this job at one point in my life
Same. When I was really young in like elementary school, for whatever reason I wanted to be a CO.
Kayley Dyszelski actually it does pay well depends on the state. My state for example C.O average around 75k with a couple years including OT you could bring in 100k+ when most entry level jobs average around 50-60k
I did it for a year. I really enjoyed it for awhile but things can definitely be dangerous
@@judgedby12ofyourpeers4 What State do you work jn if you don't mind me asking ?
Im applying for the job as an RN
Korey Wise didn't deserve this at such a young age 😩❤ & RIP Kalief browder 😭❤ you deserve so much more😪
Forgive me for not knowing but who was kalief browder nd wat did he do??
Browser was in OBCC. He committed Suicide at him not jail blame the judge and his family members for not bailing him out
@@buttercup5920 Watch his doc on Netflix
I pray no harm come to this young man,he just like everyone else,a slave to the system,we all got to work what ever job we can get to make it
I was going to work as a cook at rikers island...The interesting thing was during the process they was trying to persuade me to become a C.O....I was like hell no lol...
Such a solid brother !!!much respect !!!
I remember when my Dad (RIP) was laid off from the NYPD in the 70's and the NYCDOC hired him and a lot of other laid off cops. Think he said he worked in HDM which I think is known as JATC today. The stress level was so high during that time. And so understaffed, telling me basically it was just himself and another CO w/240 inmates to watch. He would come home after an 8 hr or 16 hr tour of duty and we knew to just let him unwind for about an hr.
HDM WAS REAL .... WASN'T FOR THE WEAK ...
I know someone that used to be a CO. He use to tell me that he felt like he was a prisoner too. Also said it was depressing seeing men locked away in cages
It is depressing. He held on to his humanity. Kudos to him.
I give a lot of credit to all the men & woman that work at these places ...
He look like a Low graphic Cj from GTA San Andreas
More like high graphics that was ps2 bruh
Kkkk
Sweet Jones III lmfaooo
YOU PICK THE WRONG HOUSE FOO
I was so smacked it took me a min
Bless this man!
He seem like one of the cool officers like one of the officers that actually care
People only care if you care. You get what you give.
Poor Korey and Kalief ..Korey was strong enough to come home in good spirits while Kalief spirit was still stuck in that place..rip Kalief ❤️
Was Korey in solitary?
RIP Kalief Browder 🙏🏽
Officer Graham needs his own show. He is icy slick. And sweet!
Kudos to this man, out there doing a job most people wouldn't think of doing
Former New Mexico Corrections Department officer here. I've moved on to the streets now and I can't say I would ever go back to the tiers, man. You're spot on when you say it takes a special kind of person to do that job.
Stay safe and Thank you for your service from NJDOC Sgt RET
Off topic but my man's hairline here needs correction.
Anyways, he seem like a very upstanding guy. Working in such a stressful environment while still maintaining his composure is very admirable.
hahaha
+Billa Bum
It's called a receding hairline, found on millions upon millions of males', many of ur favorite ' celebrities ' wear wigs and toupees to cover it up. If u have a problem with it blame whomever u believe created males.
RussiaNukesAmerica3 Blame the great spaghetti monster in Uranus?
Did you notice his bone structure too 😕 weirdo
Nya Michelle I did as a matter of fact. Dude has some nice cheek bones too. Nothing weird about checking out someone's features. I can say for certain you do the same with every person you encounter.
I just wanna see officer Graham😍😍😍
He's a Captain now. He's a good dude. I work for him.
@@ShebeBossii What's his first name?
coookiebelle if you work in RNDC can you please hit me up
I couldn't work there I would be scared these officers male and female are brave for taking on this occupation
Karmin Marie not brave, just no options in life.
@@nikkarter5578 exactly. These types of jobs will take ANYONE with a decent background and a pulse. A lot of the people who work as a correctional officer has never even held a decent real job a day in their lives. Im an ex CO and i seen a lot of officers wear their title like a badge of honor haha. It's sad
NYC COs make 100k with benefits after 5 years. Easily 150k with OT for some. There's is actually a CO shortage so it's easy to get in. So for some it's either have a $20hr dead end job or an actual career.
@@miguelrobb5719 so you’re referring to yourself as one of them? Stfu dumbass you never stepped foot in a facility
@@miguelrobb5719 Out of curiosity, could this job be more of a entry level job to gain experience for something better? Like you could be a CO and then use that experience to actually be a police officer later in life? I'm just curious and have no actual interest in being a CO and I wouldn't use it as a badge of honor either. A correctional officer bragging about working in a prison wouldn't exactly sound appealing and honorable to most people.
This is a really brave man.
Respect 🌟
They do have “change and consistency,” as the inmate yelled. The day changes and nothing ever changes.
God bless him and others for the good work they do. No amount of money will let me work there period 🙏🙏🙏🙏🇬🇭
He seems a very good officer. One that treats inmates with respect. Hope his pay is good.
What does this has to do with how korey was treated by the guard there because it was one guard who should be held accountable his corrupt and wicked action . As someone stated they're not going to exposed what's really going on by some of the bad guards who work there !!!
Officer Graham 😍😍
Captain Graham now.
When. He said u never know what someone is going thru at home,is the same reason I say hey to all my fellow employees,mad respect for this guy,just from those words
someone who is incarcerated there and doesn't fight or cause problems isn't likely to be beaten by guards, the ones that fight, resist or throw their filth are the ones that get beaten, most deserve what they get.
Imagine it was your son being beat. And “resisting” can be very broad
yea ama stick making these youtube vids
I like this guy, wish we had more like him.
Thank you for all you do in the law enforcement world
who else is watching after the central park 5?
No been watching long before. Check out Hollman prison Alabama. There's been way more young people and adults in prison other than them.
Whats that? Cp5?
Nobody
poor korey...my heart it hurting
Wow but they not showing what really goes on
Exactly
Obviously
Of course they wouldn’t. This was on the news. Everything is always tailored a certain way to narrow our perspectives
So, you want to see shit fly or butt banging to satisfy your need to know? Use your imagination, man.

Nice to See the transition Between the Light Blue Powder Shirts to the Dark Blue Which I Also Went through In The NYPD Back In The Day.
Working in Cook County IL, I would love to go back 15 years
I was a C.O for 4 years and did 2 years of solitary confinement. I tell anybody you dont know what goes on behind them walls but be safe officer Graham
Can you go into detail
God bless and keep our COs safe from harm...👮✝️
Yep definitely about to become one now
L D me too bud CALIPATRIA STATE PRISON

Better get ready to get into a lot of fights
New Yorkers have the cutest accent 😍
"We need change and consistency."
Such a contradictory statement really gives you a glimpse into the mind of a criminal.
This my favorite video in the entire world thank u for showing
I Retired 7 yrs ago ❗ God Bless All
They put on their uniform ... shirt, pants and boots
Knowing that in a few minutes off to work they will scoot
A short prayer of contrition, thanks and love
A request for armored angels from the Lord above Prayers for themselves and their uniformed crew
To make a night ... and a shift ... safely through
Their place of toil and burden is behind locked doors, wire and gates
Where nere a soul is afraid to cry out their stories of hell and hate
No officer - male or female - weak or strong
Can take alone the taunts, the insults, the jeers for long
A place where every look and glance and evil stare
Makes them wonder why they choose to be there
No outside soul can know or understand
What it is like to walk a beat in this steel, this evil, this concrete land
Watching their six and keeping each safe
Running to the call that is inevitably placed
“Officer Down” and in need of care!
Seconds seem like minutes when a “Code Green” is aired
They come running, these souls in blue, black and brown
Ready to fight, to cajole ... to take evil down
Their brother, their sister, their shift mate cries
They promise each other that tonight ... no one dies!
We learned quick to duck ... as blood, feces and insults flew
And yet no family or friend can believe ... our stories to be true
They say, “That can’t be the truth ... the world you must endure”
We say, “It’s a side of our society that’s just not quite so pure”
Citizens can’t acknowledge they live amongst us, on a completely different plane
This horde - these eyes of evil ... angst ... and pain
For they care not of you ... or me ... or anything fair
They have their immediate addiction or want ... to which their allegiances bear
So we place our lives, our families our aching self
On a back burner for society’s health
We take to the floor and walk our gauntlet of threats
Trying to beat the host of “he’ll not last a week in this pod” ... inmate bets
Our time on the floor goes from slow, to boring, to fatally fast
Our scars, our memories, our experiences ... will a lifetime last
We take the pain, the threats and fears ... and keep them close to the vest
No burden to others do we wish to invest
No one understands how precious is our time away
To be out ... from this den of evil ... to just sleep ... or play
Family and faith are our rock, our soul, our guiding light
To not sink in despair during our daily fights
No tat nor coup ... will an inmate notch
As our Guardian Angels are on constant watch
Code Green - to officers is a recognized call
To step up - to brace - against the fall.
Yours Truly,
Bird 🐦 Man

I got a interview on Friday for a correctional officer position, decent pay better pay after training. Its a stepping stone while I'm in school to become a probation officer.
Reminds me exactly of what it’s like at my camp’s ADSEG housing unit. Different layout but sounds exactly the same
There is no smoke without a fire...
Here it looks cool how about behind the camera...
“WE NEED CHANGE AND CONSISTENCY!”
Well, pick one.
Change the processes, the regulations and the sometimes the people. Be consistent with your (positive) changes. Not too hard to figure out.
Sending love💚.
Great video!.. I"m a retired ca Correctional Officer and I agree!
My nephew Brett works at Rikers. It’s not always easy working with inmates. But I Haven’t spoken to my nephew or my brother in many years.
God bless y'all
He seems like a great CO- authoritative but friendly-the type of staff that makes prison bearable. I Commend this man because there is a lot of corrupt and mean COs out there that do more harm than good- he seems to actually care about the inmates
He's a Captain now
@@ShebeBossiiWhat about now?
Prayers for the COs that work here! That’s a big decision to work in the most dangerous prison in our country. Also prayers for the prisoners that were wrongfully convicted but still put in here!
California prisons are way more dangerous...
My dad did this very same job for 20 plus years but it was with the youth, from ages 10-21 years old.
Bless this man
Shout out to the C/O's....forgotten law enforcement!
