Nashua Street Jail

Josh Repine
Criminal justice day 2

Television and movies. They run the lives of young children. They give these children perspective and judgments on certain individuals. Yesterday confirmed the perspective and preconceived ideas I had about a major jail corrections officer. Our officer fit the standard mold of what TV has depicted. He was an over weight white male, who enjoyed his job, all parts of his job.  I don't know if he was trying to sound/look cool in front of teen students or if that's his natural personality but he confirmed these shows. He walked with this swagger that showed immense confidence and always noted to how big of an impact he made in every situation. Personally it seemed like these inmates were helping his confidence more than he was helping rehabilitate their lives.
