I read your ama and it intrigued me very much cause I was a correctional officer for Texas Department of Criminal justice and it seems that for the most part our system is completely the opposite from Colorado. We never abused or went out of our way to mistreat the offenders for the most part; but there are a few "rotten apples" if you will, that do try to mistreat or abuse the offenders. In TDCJ there are ways for offenders to grieve if they feel their rights had been violated. I found that as an officer I could establish a form of mutual respect with an offender while still being professional. Did yall have a grievance process like we do in Texas? Also did you find that you could trust and respect some of the officers there as well?
