So after getting up at 0030 to drive O to prison, I slept in and was able to awaken to the sun rising over the mountains...
I arrive at work and have an e-
The initial plan called for O to accompany an oxygen dependent inmate on a 14 hour transport
The transport ended up being for two inmates, the original to the south and a psych/crazy inmate to midstate...
Each transport vehicle only has two cells...
O rode with the psych inmate in the middle.
He said fought to stay awake all morning...
not wanting to fall asleep locked in a cage with a Level 4 psych patient.
also...
there were no bathroom breaks for the entire trip.
So 14 hours later, the officers dismount the vehicle and go back and unlock his cage...
allowing him out to see his wife, who is the Chief Medical Officer.
He earned 3 thousand dollars.
Which he is going to spend on his mother-
Who forgot to pay her electric bill and had her power shut off.
PG&E came to the home but the electric box was very old and rusty.
The utility men stated it would need to be replaced before they could turn the power back on.
Estimated cost: 3,000 dollars.
Biggest fear on the trip:
(that we all shared at work)
There would be a car accident where the officers would be knocked out and the responding law enforcement would think O an inmate.
And he would be hauled of to jail for processing.
With the other inmates who know he's staff.
His ass would be worth a pack of cigarettes exchanged in under 5 minutes.
