It just irritates me that a correctional officer thinks that it's funny. Yeah, he's going to be a victim for a change. Whoopee. If he survives it, he's going to come back to the world as a bigger threat. It's just amazingly short-sighted to think it's funny.
lol.
Iit's called gallows humor because sometimes victims are funny.
Walk the walk and it'll make perfect sense, watch from outside and it's offensive.
My 1st week on the job I had to climb a ladder to cut this kid who hung himself out of a tree. First I had to measure the rope, his head was bloated and leaking fluid around the rope, the stench of death and voided bowles was overwhelming. He was covered in ants, flies, maggots..
So my training officer, Sgt and a Coroners investigator think it's just the funniest thing in the world to poke this dead kids (15 or so) shoe with a Baton so he'd swing around and bump into me.. this as they both barked with laughter "Hurry up trainee!!!"
Like a good TO, I was promptly taken to eat. My TO went inside and I ate alone in the car. I held it together until I caught a good whiff of poopy-death stench that was now part of my once dry cleaned uniform.
Imagine my TO's glee as he returns to the unit to find I had just puked.. I found rubber novelty vomit on my locker, pictures of vomit found thier way to my in-box, for 2 weeks all I heard was "You're not gonna puke are ya?"
