[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 691858, member: 18958"] Because this place has a policy that I cannot be issued either an ID or keys until I have attended a 2 day prison. Because they are short on staff, and needed my help right away, they accelerated my start date to 3 weeks before the training. In these 3 weeks I have to endure being escorted everywhere and asking to go to the bathroom. It is not something specific to me. It is the way they do it. I do feel uncomfortable, because 2 of the supervisors of 3 are men. The women, give me their keys when I ask. The men, escort me to the toilet and use their keys to unlock the door while very obviously averting their gaze from looking inside the bathroom where other women may be. In do not think there is insensitivity to my situation, it is just that this is the way things are done here, and everybody has to go through it. That is the attitude. To balk, would be like throwing a fit, acting entitled, even though what I would be asking for is human dignity. This is one of the costs of working in a prison, an environment that takes away human dignity. I have been having a conversation with myself just what it is about me that has made me endure this. But of course, that is one more instance of taking responsibility, taking personally something that has nothing at all to do with me. Except the choice to be there. I have chosen to go back again. Thank you. [/QUOTE]
