The Beautiful Kind

So on that fetish checklist I put together, there is a checkbox for “jail commands.” I didn’t even know what jail commands ARE, so I interviewed a female corrections officer and got the lowdown on that and much, much more. Good stuff to supplement my past post on how great prison life would be!

Where do you work?
Bonne Terre prison. It’s a high level prison, and is where the executions for Missouri are carried out. So I work with the peeps that are involved with carrying out executions. I really love my job.

What do you call the prisoners?
We call the prisoners “offenders” as that is what their ID badges has printed on it. They must wear the badge at all times, and it must be on the left collar of the outer most piece of clothing. This is all per policy. Policy is what ultimately governs all actions in the system. It describes how the Corrections Officer is to respond, and it mandates what the offenders are required to do.

What are jail commands?
These are things that I say at work on a regular basis:
kick rocks= get out of here
widen your stance= I’m going to search you, spread your legs
you’re beat=you’re not getting anything from me.

That last one I prolly say at least 15-20 a day. It’s when the offenders want something from me that they can’t have. And they always want things they can’t have. I mean that in both a sexual and non-sexual way. lol

How old are you?
I am 25. I’ve been a Corrections Officer (CO) for about 3 yrs now. I love the job because it is an important puzzle piece to our culture. Without prisons, laws would have no meaning, and the bad people would still be on the streets. It is a VERY serious job, one that is difficult to explain. A good “shock” into the world of the CO is here in a letter.

I’m proud to be a CO. Its kinda like a Marine is proud to be a Marine. Not everyone has what it takes.

Do you act differently on the job?
I am a completely different person when I’m inside or “on the hill” as we call it. It is essential that you conduct yourself with professionalism and authority. The common motto of the CO is: Firm, Fair, and Consistent. It might sound simple to do, but it’s not. There are those of us that abuse their authority. Some are over critical of the rules, or some seem to provoke offenders by over enforcing their positions too harshly.

For the most part I’m a comedian on the outside. I like to laugh and I like others to laugh with me. On the inside I have a good sense of humor, but I have to be tough. It’s not easy to switch off one personality for another.

Have you heard of the Stanford Experiment?
I read about the Stanford Experiment, and I understand it completely.. Both sides actually. The COs force the rules on to the offenders because they must follow the rules. If the offenders follow the rules they get into this zombie mode which is all scheduled:

6 am: stand up. it’s time to be counted.
630 : get in line. it’s time to eat.
7 am: go back to your cell. wait for recreation.
11 : stand up it’s time to be counted.
12 pm: get in line. it’s time to eat.
1230 : go back to your cell. wait for evening recreation.

This is an example of what happens every day. The times are pre-scheduled for everything. It can be mindless.

So what do you think about the executions?
The execution thing is not a big deal in my mind. Its just part of the job. There is a special unit of CO’s who are trained specifically for the executions. It’s sad for the family of the offender, but I’m pro-capital punishment. More of them deserve it than those that get it. We have offenders that have been waiting for almost 20 years to die. I think that’s cruel.

Right now executions are being held till a court can determine new procedures. There is an article to explain the old procedure and the prob with it:

If you like to read, there is a book based in STL. Its called “A RIP IN HEAVEN” its a story about some murders on the chain of rocks bridge. I later met the guy just before he was executed. Marlin Gray..I’ll never forget his name. It was strange meeting him eye to eye, knowing his story. And then ordering this ‘monster’ around.

So is your job sexy or what?
The job itself is not very sexy. It’s kinda gross really. Too many bodies crammed into small spaces where they don’t want to be. But there is no denying the fact that there are some toned bodies in prison. Some of them spend everyday just working out!! I’m talking twelve packs, not just the six!! I’ve heard some do 300 push ups…EVERYDAY!!

I don’t allow myself to think about them as sexy. I can’t. It would be against all that I work toward. Its not easy being a female in a man’s prison. I think about 25-30% of the COs are female. It’s actually a high percentage for a work force. Unfortunately, we have to work twice as hard as males just to be treated equally.

Yes, the offenders flirt with me..but I put a stop to it. I demand respect from them. And they know it..I also give respect in return. There are days that I get 15 marriage proposals. I usually just laugh it off. If you have good people skills, it’s easy enough to manage a balance of good cop/bad cop.

Do you like the uniform?
I LOVE the uniform, and yes I have been turned on at work. Some COs just fill it out in ALL the right places! Those utility belts make all asses look good. The female COs wear the same uniform as the males, they look the same as comparing a guy cop to a gal cop..Our uniforms are light blue with black pants. If you don’t know what colors the local PD wear, I could be mistaken for a cop.

Do you play with the handcuffs?
I do like to play with the handcuffs. It’s amazing how different it is to be in a set that you can’t trip the safety lock. it feels much better! Because you’re not just pretending to be caught…YOU REALLY ARE.

Are you sub or dom?
I prefer to be the sub, but sometimes, the dom in me just breaks out unexpectedly. One time, while I was rough housing around with my bf, which turned on both of us, he made some comment about me being a wimp (which is a pet peeve of mine) and the next thing we knew, he was facedown on the floor in an arm-bar with me on top. It was reflex for me. Thats part of the CO training. We both laugh about it. He got beat up by a girl.

I’m a strong person mind and body. If they ‘ask’ for anything. I usually deny them. If they just go for it, I’m ripe for the picking. My ‘tough guy’ persona weeds out the wimps fast. I don’t have time for them. If they’re strong enough to break down the ‘walls’ I put up, I turn into a very willing and pliable subject. I smile to myself just thinking about it. I haven’t met many that can get through my test.

I like the idea of being spanked and hit, but the reality is: it brings out a fight or flight in me. I usually go ‘amazon’ if it hurts. I can take a lot of pain, but only the light slaps turn me on. I’ve never been tied up. I’ve seen the intricate knots you’ve been done up with, and I’m totally jealous! I’ve had a scarf held over my eyes, and holding me down to the bed at the same time. But it was a one time deal. I wish it wasn’t. I liked it a lot.
