Our professor was (is!) a wonderful woman who teaches in prisons and is dedicated to human rights awareness.<BR/><BR/>So that was the focus of all our research and assignments that semester.<BR/><BR/>I am actually a nurse but I have worked in senior management and administration for years. No prisons, thank goodness!! Unless you count Corporate America.Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10106720865034468249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-113531471647083299.post-77897008803791744722008-10-22T10:09:00.000-04:002008-10-22T10:09:00.000-04:00Oh, what area of work are you in to be doing this ...Oh, what area of work are you in to be doing this for an assignment Marie?<BR/>your despcription of the smell took me right back -<BR/>Just over ten years ago I worked as a prison officer in a men's prison. No matter how much they cleaned the place, it always smelled of sweaty trainers and overboiled cabbage. not that we ever had any boiled cabbage being cooked, but there is that pervasive institutional smell, as you so rightly say.<BR/>The regime where I worked was quite unusual and not like the other "system" prisons, but it was a tough place to be. Most people never get to see what it's like inside a prison, so you have a rare insight, which I think is good to share.Helenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13285004429519604791noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-113531471647083299.post-92172669709768066642008-10-19T12:10:00.000-04:002008-10-19T12:10:00.000-04:00Wow!
