Nurse arrested for following hospital policies

Med centers at the prison do not have or keep narcotics. the strongest thing they have for pain is tylenol. if the prisoner is in really bad shape they have to take him to the ER.

They don't keep narcotics because they are afraid the prisoners will over run the medical staff and take them.

 

Sometimes they even have to take a death row inmate to the er but they keep him shackled unless the nurse tells them to take them off. So I have no idea whats going to happen. usually they take 4 or 5 guards with them but like I said they are not suppose to let them out of their sight even if they shackle them to the bed. I suppose the guards could stand outside the door if they have to but what nurse would want to be alone in there with a death row inmate who has nothing to lose even killing someone else to get away?

 

It could be a southern thing I am not going to disagree with you there but that is how it is in the South. Like for instance if a person was on antidepression drugs when he came to the prison he still gets them but they walk up to a window and it's called "pill call" And there is a guard there to make sure they take them instead of them hiding them under their tongue and saving them for later but the do not keep any kind of PAIN narcotics in the prison. so for example one prisoner gets stabbed and it is a nasty cut they are loaded up and took to the Local Hospitals ER. The only thing they have is stuff for a cough or cold. They do have their own Dentist station set up though the dentist comes once a month now he brings pain meds with him but they are all documented and counted when he gets there and before he leaves and what inmate he had to use them on. There is no medical clinic for a bad trauma they go to the ER at the local hospital.

 

Some prisons in this state are state ran they probably do have nice clinics. On the other side some of the prisions are contracted out and are not run by the State, they are run by a private company. those are the ones that don't have narcotics trauma clinic etc etc. What gets me they are never even inspected by the State so how do the get away with that?

 

On an TV interview posted today they stated that the police detective and one other person were placed on paid administrative leave. Personally I think that is a joke. All administrative leave means is that they can't work on the job but still get paid.....A paid holiday no less. Now that's punishment.

As a side note you don't want to know what I think about police. I fully realsize that they are needed and are ask to do a dangerous job but the nature of that job has changed down through the years from one of protecting society to one of ruling over society. It may surprise you to know that you local county Sherriff was hired to protect his county from the State (meaning State Law enforcement). Now days they are just another arm of State control over the populous.

Sadly a police profession doesn't require much in the way of education and often attracts those on a power hungry trip.

 

Today that would bring out the union rep and a year long court case in which he would get paid while on administrative leave.....another police vacation with pay.

 

Btw what is it with all these police man that have so much overtime they have to take a vacation instead of getting paid? Why don't these places just hire more help. the way I described it they will always have vacation time???

 

Well sometimes police get what they deserve. Too many think they have a license to browbeat society. Do you have an article that support this?

 

Don't go getting snitty now. I just thought you would have quicker access to it that I would searching blindly.

 

Now you clearly see why most police (whose education is somewhat lacking i.e. GED level for entry) fought against body cams. No one would have ever heard about any of this if it were for the video. Finally the story I saw said that the cop involved is suiting the town for wrongful dismissal. Most police I know have a tendency to think of themselves as junior gestapo protected by the system.
