There was an officer who was #2 on my officer enemy list at one point in time. He was one of the old boy network. He was a likeable sort of fellow when he wasn't being an asshole to me.

The story going around the institution was that he got nailed for driving drunk on his motorcycle; that he crashed with his wife on the back.

The officer had kept his mouth shut about this, but some officers noticed him getting a ride to work every day. His drinking and probably his injuries from the crash were causing him to call in sick a lot and show up late. One of the captains had him in her office a very long time one day trying to get him back on track. It seemed to work. As far as being totally competent to handle inmates and situations that arose in the institution, he was damn good at it. He just saw things his way, didn’t like how I did things and wanted me to see the job how he saw it.

His son started working here and didn’t make it through his probation period. He was an arrogant know it all. I had problems with him in the academy and was forced to verbally slam him down a few times when he contradicted my teachings. It was obvious that his father had bad mouthed me to him. I thought that if he made it through the probation period that it would only be because of his dad working here. However, that didn’t even help him.
