Two white inmates attacked a black inmate. They were all thrown in the box for a day. By the looks of the two white guys, the smaller black guy kicked their butts.

We shook down all of the cells on the front half of the flag where the two white guys’ cells were, in order so that it didn’t look like we were singling them out. I found a bubble pack of pills in one of their cells and Glory Hound found some loose pills in a tea box. These were not his pills, so we confiscated them.

Before we were through with this cell, the other white guy started tearing up papers and flushing them down the toilet. I cuffed him up and took him out of his cell. I found a letter among his papers and an additional 15 in his trash that incriminated him as the one who instigated and planned the hit on the smaller black inmate, among other things. I had to write up a report on this to help verify Glory Hound's report. Glory Hound's report stated that he found everything, which was incorrect. When writing reports, they are to be 100% factual. That is how I wrote up my report. I made mine as brief as possible so it wouldn’t contradict Glory Hound's too much. The evidence would speak for itself in the hearings. Glory Hound had instigated the search, but I’m not writing inaccurate statements just because he had more time in than I did.

When shaking down a cell with another officer, I frequently let the other officer take credit for the find, if they were a good officer. If I saw something, I would not touch it. I would direct the other officer to it. I knew I would retire before my seniority would allow me to be promoted. So, if solving something could help that officer in the long run, great.

Glory Hound was not one of those good officers.
