A female employee of the institution that was responsible for handling inmates being released called me and told me to have some inmates report to the turnkey. I told her that I had nothing on it. She demanded that I get them to the turnkey and told me that I better do it now. I informed her that count tells me when offenders are leaving, where to send them and when to send them there.

She kept telling me that I better listen to her orders. I informed her that she was not one of the people that I take orders from.

There was one guy that she wanted me to send to her that she didn’t even have the correct name for. She told me that I better get him out of the unit right now. I hung up.

She called back totally enraged. She was enraged before and now she was even more enraged, so I felt totally enraged must be between enraged and berserk.

She informed me that she was married to an officer that works in the prison. I guess she thought that made her more important. It just made me feel sorry for that officer. She told me that I must be new or else I would know that. I informed her that I wasn’t new, that I knew who she was married to and that was his problem and not mine.

She asked for my name. This is what people do when they try to intimidate you into doing what they want you to do. It is a threat to report you. I told her my name and spelled it out nice and slowly for her. I encouraged her to report me for doing my job properly. I just don’t release an inmate because a voice on the phone tells me to.

I informed her that if she had filled out all of her paper work properly and contacted all of the right people that there would’ve been no problem. I suggested that if she truly wanted these inmates the soonest possible, she take care of the business that she should have taken care of previously.

I would’ve paid for a video of her at this time, because she had entered that going berserk stage when I hung up on her.

Eventually, I received authorization to release the inmates she requested and this time the names were the names of people I actually had locked up in my cell block.
