...Holy Cow!....the facility is world's nicer than the one in which I work....seems much newer and the security aspects are much more Hi-Tech. I can see where people would grouse about the "sanitized" view, but they don't work behind the wire....every facility, everywhere is overcrowded...crime and sentencing reforms just don't keep pace with one another...the med-bay is WAY nicer then our Inmate Health Services...we don't even have an IV pump, and a lot of our equipment dates back to the opening of the facility in the late 90's...but somehow, we manage to do our jobs....

Edmonton has a new remand center. The old one is used as an overflow shelter for the homeless during the winter.
Here is another tour of ours lol.
...again, very upscale.....our facility holds over 2,500(135% of capacity)and is primarily a dormitory style setting 125 bunk beds per side, 250 per floor or thereabouts...we go an emergency run, and we are truly surrounded...a couple of C.O.'s and the two of us from medical...used to really be nerve-wracking when I first started...

...it's very difficult to try to watch your back and tend to an inmate at the same time....I've been in a few verbal exchanges with some, but nothing physical as yet...
I hear yah. I had some close calls at the shelter...which was intox in its nature...mostly drunks. I am here a smallish woman with just verbal skills lol. One cop told me he would never do it without his gun lol. I did have a lady cop who worked for me at the shelter. Just for an extra bit of cash for the dinner table.
