First the case in Alabama, now this. What is it with these women who are paid to guard the criminals in their jails, but instead break them out? What could have possibly led this young woman to think that it would be a good idea to let these three dangerous criminals out of jail? I have my theories, but they aren't PC, so I'm going to keep my trap shut.
This is just getting weirder.
Maybe they shouldn't have women working in men's prisons, or juvenile facilities.
She is only 21 I think it said, not much older than they are.
I definitely don't think men should be working in the women's prisons....but maybe that's just me.
Some women are attracted to bad boys, add in the fact that women biologically are more caring and nurturing it leads them to want to help the criminals. There's also the obvious forbidden fruit aspect to it.
Correctional services don't typically have 1st, 2nd or 3rd pick when it comes to employees..I imagine in recent years with the labor shortage it's gotten even harder. I suspect this young lady hadn't been working that job for very long before she made this unfortunate choice (that'll likely lead to her becoming an inmate herself).
Proof that gender dynamics can't be avoided when you throw men and women together.
I do agree that the caring instinct is more prevalent in women, and that it leads to these romantic entanglements.
I disagree with the stereotype that these women fall for their incarcerated charges because they just like bad boys. I don't even know what that means and would like to have a hard sit down with the person who originated this platitude. Fact is that correctional staff spend the majority of their waking hours with the prisoners. They spend more time with them than they do with their families (realities of our workplace lives). They get to know the inmates very personally, some of which is necessitated by their job. They see them at their best, at their worst and everywhere in between. Sometimes they see them in very vulnerable situations (like talking them out of a suicide plan -- suicide rates are high in prisons and jails). They see them work, eat, pray, go to therapy, go to medical. They read their mail. They dispense their meds. See them naked. Everything that you could possibly imagine knowing about a person, they get to see.
Then they go home to walk the dog, eat dinner, and go to sleep. If their personal lives are empty, it leaves them wide open to form attachments with people they've come to know quite personally.
This is pretty common, for prison guards or employees to start relationships with the inmates, its BOUND to happen eventually, the guards and inmates spend so much time together, there is no way to avoid it happening here and there.
Sometimes its true love for both of them, but sometimes, its just the inmate manipulating the guard, probably 50/50 split.
If any industry should go full automation, its prisons, that is about the only way to ensure this doesnt happen, but unfortunately, the 'robot guards' would have to be Terminator like, so that probably wouldnt turn out too well either, for anyone.
She looks pretty pleased with herself in her mugshot.
Who knows what was going through her head at the time.
