“An adults brain is not as spongy as a five year old, even though some adults act like five year olds.”
Age is not always a determination of maturity. I’ve run into individuals who at the age of eighteen were more mature than some thirty year olds.

“First born sons – Happy birthday Matt!”
“One of the happiest moments in my life was when our oldest son was born. My wife went through 18 plus hours of labor and they had to flip him around like a pancake so he would come out, but it was an amazing experience.”
“The night that all the crazies come out.”
My experience is that during the first full moon of spring, we had an increase in reports and apprehensions of peeping toms, exhibitionists and sexual assaults.

“It’s not only important when educating your K-9 to vary the training days and times, but also mixing up the routine prior to the core training. You should attempt to make the training seem as realistic as possible, so that to include the immediate time period leading up to training. If you do the same routine prior to training, all that prep time will become a queue to the dog.”

“Many parents believe that if their child gets in trouble, it is the fault of the friends their child is hanging out with and being influenced by the 'wrong crowd'. The problem with that attitude is that if that’s true, then which ones are the bad kids?”

“99% of inmates who enter a prison got there from a jail.”
Jails are normally the initial processor and keeper of all inmates that end up in a federal or state prison. Most states don’t fund county jails, even though a state inmate may be housed there for weeks before being transferred to the state. Other than SCAAP and Social Security, the federal government doesn’t provide any funding to the county for maintaining inmates that receive a federal sentence.

“One major difference between jails and prisons is that a jail doesn't control when an inmate comes through the door and doesn’t know anything about more than 30 percent of them. A prison at least has the benefit of information coming from either the jail or the diagnostic center.”

“You can 'nuke’em', but if that doesn’t work then you’ve got nothing else left!”
Meaning that if you immediately use the most severe punishment either for an inmate breaking the rules or for a member of staff that has committed an error, then you have no further steps you can take as corrective action. Don’t get me wrong though, sometimes the “nuke’em” option is the best way to go.

“There are three levels of reality in a corrections facility:
1. Command Level (everything is working as planned)
2. Mid-level Management (some things are working and we don’t want the command level to find out what’s not working)
3. Corrections Officers (almost nothing works correctly and no one listens when we tell them it’s not working)”
My point here is that a corrections supervisor needs to understand this and make sure that the different levels are as close as possible in their understanding of policy and procedures.
