A few months ago, David Barnes sat in this very newsgroup making fun of
Correctional Officers and then had the stupidity to say that being a

Barnes, go tell that to these officers...

Two Correctional Officers Stabbed At State Prison


Suzanne Collins
Reporting

(WJZ/AP) JESSUP, Md. Two officers at the Maryland House of Correction
in Jessup were stabbed Wednesday night by three inmates, authorities
said. The officers were reportedly in stable condition early Thursday,
and the maximum security prison was put on lockdown.

The 29-year-old officer has been released from the hospital. The
23-year-old officer remains hospitalized in stable condition.

Major Priscilla Doggett, a spokeswoman for the Department of Public
Safety and Correctional Services, said an officer was conducting rounds
about 9 p.m. when he was attacked by three inmates with weapons.
Another officer nearby heard the commotion and went to the area, where
he was also attacked, Doggett said.

The attacked officers called for help and the inmates were subdued. The
injured officers were flown by state police Medevac helicopter to the
University of Maryland Shock Trauma Center, Doggett said.

The inmates who attacked the officers were put in segregation and the
prison was put on lockdown, which means no visitors and, except for
court dates and medical trips, "all movement has stopped," Doggett
said. No charges had been filed early Thursday, and the incident was
under investigation.

Neither the injured officers nor the inmates were identified, but
Doggett said the inmates involved in the attacks were serving 80 years
or life sentences for homicide and weapons crimes.

In January, Jeffrey Wroten, a corrections officer at the nearby Roxbury
Correctional Institution, was shot and killed, allegedly by an inmate
he was guarding at Washington County Hospital in Hagerstown.

On Thursday, WJZ's Suzanne Collins spoke to a member of the
correctional officers union, who says the recent attacks expose the
imminent dangers of the job.

"We just had the thing with Jeffrey Wroten and we said this is
something that could happen..certainly right now it's a field day on
correctional officers," Ron Bailey says.

Gov. Robert Ehrlich advocated retroactive pay raises and more hiring of
correctional officers last month after the union representing
Maryland's 7,000 correctional officers complained that staff reductions
at western Maryland prisons have compromised safety.







With idiots like Barnes running around putting down law enforcement
officers from all fields, it's no wonder he isn't liked and was
rejected from the California DOC.

Being a guard isn't particularly dangerous - that isn't a "put down,"

Actually it's a sign of ignorance.

Are you tripping down the stairs a lot? Because statistically, you are
wrong. Being a guard is fairly safe.

but Osprey's claim that it is demonstrates that Osprey likes to push
that claim as a way of making himself feel important

Correctional officers are important.

I never said they weren't. But YOU seem to be insecure about that
which is why to like to make the job sound more dangerous, more
important, etc.

(even though he

isn't REAL law enforcement.)

Even though every state disagrees with Barnes

Untrue.

enforcement over non-inmates.

The mere fact that they occasionally get

hurt doesn't mean that much, so do boy scouts, occasionally. See
<http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2005/07/25/national/main711597.shtml>

Another attempt the LIE-beral makes to deflect attention away from
himself.

Myself? I thought we were speaking of "correctional officers."

Osprey's occasional anecdotal story notwithstanding, statistics show
that fisherman, truck drivers, pilots, construction workers, structural
metal workers, pizza delivers, taxi drivers, vending machine fillers,
and the like, ALL have a much more dangerous job than guards, or even
real police officers.

As for the California DOC "rejecting" me,

Yes, thank you for finally admitting it.

LOL!!!! So much for Osprey's idea of telling the truth.

you don't even know my name.

How could you know anything about me?

because you showed your friends at Home Depot postings by me and they
e-mailed me information about you that I verified to be true.

<Yawn> Then tell everyone my name.

And who the hell would want to

be a guard,

It's understandable that you have a deep rooted resentment.

Yeah, yeah, yeah...

Well, if
you had tried harder you might not have been rejected.

The test for a guard, at least in Delaware, requires a GED and a score
of 60%. How hard could it be?

unless it was a way of getting a better job? This

transparent lie of yours proves one thing and one thing only. You are
a lying piece of *****. But then, we already knew that.

Where is all that proof on those claims you made about me again???

Where they have always been.
