Institutionalized Part (3). .. Who’s Correcting the Correctional Officers? Out here in the middle of nowhere of a boondocks known as Wartburg, Tennessee, an audaciously degenerate; yet all too familiar pattern and practice of human and civil rights deprivations against prisoners housed at Morgan County Correctional Complex is giving victims of its “Hands on Policy” a legitimate grievance for emergency relief. I use adjectives like audacious and degenerate to emphasize the most emphatic emphasis I can express to articulate the disturbingly, disturbing, disturbance that is full-blown institutional insurrection. For practical. purposes alone, the public consensus must assume that the correctional officers who are charged with a constitutional duty and a general job description to uphold the state laws and TDOC policies that govern the rights of prisoners should not only enforce them but at least respect them. However, nothing is practical about hate groups masquerading around with state badges and state licenses to hate its perceived sworn enemies with no oppositional oversight. Be that as it may. To say the least, if criminal conduct was the sole administrative criteria for distinguishing the law from the lawless, then without the presu.mptive exception of the TDOC uniforms it’s all but impossible to determine such a difference even existed here. Although, unfortunately unlike the inmates, the correctional officers are proving to be far more advanced criminals when it comes to committing criminal acts and evading criminal prosecution. In summary, if the public consensus did not insist that they knew better than I did what was best for personnel and prisoners alike; then I might be more persuaded by my own deductions that definitely official nepotism has something to do with the lack of moral ' accountability here. Be that as it may. The question is if 2/3 of Morgan County personnel are in fact husband and wife, mother father, sister, brother, aunt, uncle, cousin, or in-laws of the accused perpetrators, then who can we expect to go above and beyond the call of duty to correct the correctional officers? Faced with the circumstances, your guess is as good as mine. Maybe you should ask victims like Rendell Moore and Cordell Ash just to name a few. Nevertheless, what I do know is it goes without saying that the law is out of order in this cesspool where you encounter scores of emasculated human beings randomly being tased, pepper sprayed, choked and maliciously pummeled unto a state of oblivion at whim, while in handcuffs with their hands behind their backs. Otherwise, how do you explain why the correctional officers who indiscriminately defecate on the state laws and TDOC policies, receive the highest position of authority within the institutional rank and file? Perhaps, these hate groups will argue in protest that I lack credibility in my assessment of the disorder of hate groups in the T DOC personnel, due in part to an inherent bias against becoming the next victim. Surely, in such a controversial inquiry it would be in my best interest to plead the fifth, unless I impeach myself. After all, somewhere between the C/O’s and prisoners’ transition from the hated to the hunted, unto the non-persons; I too have rendered human attributes like compassion, empathy, and sympathy non- applicable in the best interest of the general welfare. Granted, I will never fully understand what it must feel like to voluntarily subject myself to the most unstable people, in the most volatile environment, for the least compensatory benefits. Granted —— out here in the middle of nowhere of a boondocks known as Wartburg, Tennessee, the disturbance has far exceeded the disturbing. F or the prisoners whom have fallen victim to the infamous “Hands on Policy” and have lived to dare tell the tale. “I HEAR YOUl” All the while, the same question still remains echoing off the hollow cavities of so many vacant minds and too many vacant hearts... “Who’s Correcting the Correctional Officers?
