Inmates come to guard's aid in jail attack

What is that saying? "You [don't] bite the hand that feeds you"?

Good to hear this.

jmo

They've 'upped' their ante..even if not planned. Gotta say..I give those inmates a "kudo" for not getting into a gang mentality and hurting that guard, but instead came to his aid.

that tells me that he is a really good guard, when the prisoners respect you enough to fight for you, what was the reason the inmates gave... because he is a good guy... simple as that

And one of the inmates who helped the guard is in there for 'attempted murder'.

The chokehold that was placed on the guard was very tight according to the inmate who broke it. The guard's face was turning purple!!

All 4 inmates will be given letters, written by the Sheriff, IIRC, to be placed in their court files.

The comments by the Sheriff about this episode being proof that jailers treat inmates good stems from all the other videos that have been made public in recent years of them beating up inmates.

The inmates did the right thing!!!! I have no doubt they saved the guards life!! That man wanted to kill him!!!

Inmates protected me much more than I thought they would. While I think some did just because I was a female, I'm sure others did because they knew I was their conduit to getting good health care when they needed it. They protected their "resource". Respectful treatment to inmates will get you a l o n g way.

Lavinya,

I am not sure what you are saying.

Maybe I am reading this all wrong.

Kudo's for the inmates!!

thanks, if releasing videos of jailers being bad in the past helped to cause some to be good then it is a good thing, but this jailer I think was good to begin with, I do not think it was because video's of past bad jailers was released, the prisoners really thought this man was a good guy, that is enough for me to believe he was just that, some people you can just sense the goodness coming out of them when you interact with them, the respect and fairness they give you

It's Florida, the video would have been released no matter what, lol.

I'm glad to see that the jail is going to review their policy's after this. 60 plus inmates with one guard sounds dangerous.
