Stillwater prison has seven towers where officers can be posted all along the top of the wall. The officer in each tower can easily see the officers in at least two other towers. Each officer is armed with different types of rifles and plenty of ammunition for each rifle. The entire time I was at the prison, I never heard of anyone having to fire a weapon or even point one at anyone.

Specific security procedures are followed in order to safely switch officers in the towers. It would be inappropriate for me to divulge those procedures; however, I can tell you that they were well thought out. There have been no security breaches with this ever, which has been over 100 years.

While in the tower, we are to observe, report and log everything; from bad weather to unusual activity like fights in the yard, smoke or fire, unauthorized people anywhere, people taking pictures from outside the prison perimeter, gang groupings, hot air balloons or low flying aircraft.
