"His rescue came because of the relationship the mild-mannered Moon had built with the men he guards, Previtera said. The 22-year jail veteran avoids jail gossip, treats everyone the same and rides Harley-Davidsons on his days off, fellow Deputy Anthony Brown said.
Moon worked his 12-hour shifts alone in the pod known as "7 Delta," which holds men with medical or mental issues.
He works amid the prisoners unprotected by bars and doors much of the time as part of the jail's "direct supervision," which fosters closer relationships between inmates and deputies.
Jail attacks on Hillsborough deputies have declined from 76 in 2006 to 22 this year partly because of the system, Previtera said. Juvenile offenders attack guards the most and are supervised by more than one officer, sheriff's spokesman Larry McKinnon said."
Radical thought. Treat inmates fairly and with respect and they will respond in kind. Thanks for posting this story.
