    I like that you’re doing an officers perspective. It would be cool to see you do an ex inmate from a higher custody level and an officer together and have them talk together about their experiences. It would have to be the right kind of people who could have intelligent conversation, but that dynamic could be cool.

    One big thing i always tell newbies when one is assigned to me for ojt is dont just assume your better than the inmates some of these guys just plain screwed up and you could end up here to. Treat them with respect and like human beings and for that you will be treated that way also. Plus it is right thing to do. And do not be petty.

    Did over 25 years, it's what you make of it and of course there's life situations you can't control, IE health and some situations but in this area I saw many work 50 years in a factory retire and pass within a couple of years so what's the difference. Now the system is broken and it's because of the governing bodies that it's tanked. Unfortunately because of the government actions there could be a big blowout somewhere because of staffing and or training!

    Broooooo!!!! Take it from someone who’s been here from the start your interviews are starting to feel more and more shallow. You have 85% of this one which was completely generic questions, which yes are completely unavoidable and HAVE to make up a portion of any interview but should be more like 15%-30% of a perfect interview. Very few of your questions actually built off of the interview as a whole and what was said previously. On top of the unrelated, basic, questions you also stayed on the top layer the entire podcast where this podcast didn’t seem different than the majority of your other podcasts, you could’ve dropped this at the end or beginning of another recent podcast and they would’ve flowed almost seamlessly. Please make an attempt to get deep in the convo and build the conversations in a way that’s unique to your current discussion, podcast, and guest. Love ya bro and keep up the hard work just allow let the increased volume and subscribers to make the podcast more generic and take away the unique flavor of each episode.
