Incorrect. I did not go to the hospital because you cannot leave the jail unattended. It was the graveyard shift, only myself and the dispatcher on duty. I talked to a deputy and I was told to remain at the jail rather than escort a prisoner. For one thing being I was not certified to escort prisoners outside the confines of the jail.
Then what grounds did they have to fire you? I'm sure that there are procedures to follow in these cases.
Who is more disturbed, the idiot or the idiots who follow him all over the internet, hanging on his every word?
So basically, instead of calling medical help to the jail, you allowed a prisoner feigning illness to escape directly from your custody? Classic.
Dude, you're making an ass of yourself. Standard SOP in any prison without a full prison hospital is to call paramedics if someone needs or is suspected to need urgent medical attention. He did that. Unless we are missing something, which is entirely possible, he did not do anything wrong. Either he's not telling us something, or he was scapegoated. This must have been a hick jail is they only had one guard on duty at night.
So, is it standard "SOP" to let the prisoner out of the jail to hospital without any sort of escort? If so, I think your system is making more of an ass out of itself than I am.
It was all just a simple misunderstanding. The guy was just going to run home and grab a sandwich, and then come straight back.
Of course not. However, that would be a decision made above Dayton's station. Someone above him was required to act in this matter.
Well, looking back at the posts above I note that Dayton says he was told by a deputy to remain behind because he didn't have the qualifications to escort the prisoner. So, it seems to me that we have one of a number of possibilities:- 1) The system is totally fucked up if a two day old employee who does not yet have the qualifications to escort, was left solely in charge of a prisoner, assuming the dispatcher couldn't go either; or 2) If the dispatcher could go then the system is fucked up if it leaves a two day old employee in chrage of a jail on his own; or 3) Dayton is not being entirely forthcoming with his account of the event. Which do you think it is?
TMP was awful. The only good thing about the whole movie was the newly redesigned Enterprise. By far my favorite of all time. Black Dove got trolled.
Note, I had worked at the jail for six weeks when this occurred. I was a jailer. Not a trained guard and this was a county jail under the country courthouse. Not a prison. I wasn't trained or allowed to use handcuffs, use firearms, sprays, or stun guns on prisoners. I fingerprinted them, filed their paperwork, inventoried their belongings, searched them whenever they exited or entered the jail, and fed them their meals, scheduled their exercise time, and checked out their books and magazines. I did get a sharp looking black shirt though that made my pecs stand out.
Then why were you fired? If you were not allowed to escort the inmate to the hospital and the inmate escaped from the hospital then that means you're not at fault. The person at fault would be the escorting officer. Unless of course you're lying and sent a inmate to the hospital without an escort. In which case you'd be fired. You're a liar. You're talking to someone in the business and your posts reek of bullshit.
He's lying. They don't send inmates to a hospital without an escort. If they didn't send Dayton they would have sent someone else. If the guy escaped from the hospital there is no way Dayton could take the fall for it even as a scapegoat. Any lawyer would love a lawsuit like that as that is a slam dunk case. "You fired my client over an inmate escaping when my client wasn't the one on the medical detail? Start writing the check."
The fact that it was a jail and not a prison is irrelevant. I work in a jail not a prison but most of the security procedures are the same (except we can't shoot inmates trying to escape except under certain circumstances). Most people here use the terms interchangeably because they are lazy. Your description doesn't sound like a jailer. Sounds more like a civilian worker tough I'd have a hard time believing they would let a non-certified law enforcement officer conduct pat downs and searches of inmates.
You've seen our politicians haven't you? He should have no problem fitting in. As for getting elected...he's from Arkansas...I don't think his checkered work history would matter much down there.
I was told by the deputy in charge of the jail that the inmates family had specifically requested that the guy not be allowed out of the jail for any reason. After he walked out of the hospital, the inmates family threatened to sue the sheriffs department. He said that I never should have called an ambulance. Once again, this was in my SIXTH WEEK as a jailer (where someone got the idea that it was the second day or something I don't know, I was still reading the rules and procedures on the second day). I did not want my job as jailer back because I was going to have to quit in four more weeks anyway to go to my first series of workshops to obtain my teacher's liscense.
Wait a minute, wait a minute. So the guy told you to stay, but he left with the inmate, but then told you he wasn't supposed to even call an ambulance OR leave with the guy? And somehow you want us to believe THAT is why YOU got fired? What the fuck?
Not at all. The only deputy on duty that night was in his patrol car. The dispatcher called him and he said I wasn't to leave the jail. The deputy in charge of the jail (different than the one on night duty) told me that he was not to be allowed to leave the jail under any circumstances. I was aware of this, but I thought a medical emergency was an obvious exception.
