[QUOTE="donna723, post: 669340, member: 1883"] The only thing that got us through sometimes was humor and being able to laugh at those guys (and sometimes other employees!). It's probably the same where you work but the majority of the employees were there a year or two years and then they're gone. And then there was us, the core group (including a lot of brass) who had been there 20, 25 or even 30 years. We all went way, way back and knew each so well. We'd all get together at lunch or in the break room and somebody would start telling stories and pretty soon we'd all be laughing so hard, we'd have tears rolling down our faces! And most of these people had pretty much given up on being able to really help the inmates. It's a whole different class of criminals out there now, the gang bangers, the drug dealers and the car jackers. Hard to make much of a difference there. Our loyalty was really more toward each other and just being able to maintain. [/QUOTE]
