Officers screwing around can cause major problems as it did this day. Back in segregation officers were screwing around with each other when breakfast arrived to be served to the inmates. Officers are not supposed to eat this food, but there is a lot of peer pressure to do so. If others eat it, and they are going to, you better eat it too or they will think you might out them and then they will make it tough on you.

I can’t remember all that led up to the main problem. It generally starts out small and escalates with everyone trying to top the next person.

One officer wound up spraying chemical irritant on another officer’s tray of food. Then an officer thought it was a bright idea to serve that tray to an inmate.

The inmate wound up lying on the floor yelling that staff had sprayed his food with mace causing him breathing problems. He was taken to Health Services in a wheel chair.

A sergeant was involved. He was demoted. Suspensions were handed out too.
