Jokes ranged from using Tasers or other force on inmates to planting drugs on them or putting them into “the box,” a reference to a type of solitary confinement.
A stock image of a prison. By Allyson Chiu Allyson Chiu Reporter with the Morning Mix team Email Bio Follow April 17 at 6:46 AM The photos seem innocuous. Several people posed in front of mirrors. Others snapped selfies in cars. They made funny faces, mean-mugged or just smiled. Some even added fun filters — tiny, floating pink hearts and golden butterflies.
Well some of your #correctionalprofessionals decided to take part in the #FeelingCuteChallenge and posted their vile comments on social media-mainly facebook. What now? These actions should not be tolerated, period. The trend soon caught on with correctional officers, many of whom shared their images in a now private Facebook group called “Correctional Officer Life,” the Chronicle reported. The group has about 30,000 members and describes itself as a place to “discuss, share, socialize and study experiences in officers’ life from all over the world.”
Officials from the various state corrections departments did not respond to requests for comment late Tuesday.“A handful of correctional officers employed by this agency are under investigation for on- and off-duty conduct violations as a result of the alleged posting of inappropriate photographs on social media,” said Jeremy Desel, a spokesman.
“All department of corrections employees are trained in the prevention and reporting of harassment, discrimination and unprofessional conduct and are expected to help ensure that interactions with offenders and fellow employees are professional and respectful,” Karen Pojmann, communications director for the Missouri Department of Corrections, told the news station.
