October 9th

Last night, more of the same stupidness.
Inmates in Unit 1 of DSU started acting up.
I am not sure what the original problem was, but the Lieutenant called for an extraction team to get ready.
When they went in to extract a guy, the dumbass in the next cell shit-bombed the Lieutenant and an Officer. So the Lieutenant sprayed him with pepper spray. They let him sit and enjoy the spray for a while as they brought in a new guy that transport brought us. Then they went back in and got him out. He backed up when they went to get him, but as soon as they brought him out, he tried to kick staff. He got promptly "placed on the ground" for his trouble. That little episode should cost him another 3 to 5 years or so. Oh, this is the same moron I posted about on July 6th.
In the mean time, apparently another one started kicking his door, and kicked it enough to red light the board. On our control panels for the doors, there are two lights for each door, a red and green light. The green light indicates the door is secure, a red light indicates it is open, at least to some degree. So they had to go in and take him out.
All in all a pretty busy night for the first 4 hours or so. Things finally quieted down after that.

In other news, my youngest son turns 18 today. Happy Birthday son!!
