Please post your thoughts on forbidden relationships between a staff member and a inmate.

 
 Will it become a lasting relationship or will it eventually crumble, because of the secrecy of how the relationship began? ~~ G




 
Who are we to stop love from happening when the opposite sex are in ones company on a regular like Leila Fay-Baker, a Wisconsin correctional officer? (Not to say it can't happen with the same sex).....


  
 However, is there a line you just DON'T cross when you're at work like female prison guard who gets convicted of having sex with a male inmate?

  1. I been working in corrections for over 15 years and, I have seen it all preety much but my opinion is when you fall in love you can not help who you love and how it happens and how you handle it is important .Sometimes love has to wait until he or she get released and see if it truly is love or some fantasy you build up and reality of being free could be overwhelming to that person and things can change but if you keep it real I can see you and he or she making it

  2. If you work in a position where you deal with people constantly that you may develop a sexual attraction to, you have to learn how to compartmentalize and control and put away feelings.
    I think it's unethical to date a client, patient, inmat...e, etc...say a teacher/professor (hypothetically the pupil is 18 or over, usually is so in college settings) is sleeping with or dating a student, a doctor meets a patient and they end up hooking up, the prison guard who is secretly dating an inmate...
    Because I don't think work and clients are an ideal dating service, and it makes room for favoritism...not like "favoritism" when a teacher notices a teenage student is smarter and learns quick from consequences, so they let them off easier since they don't abuse it....but say the guard lets the inmate get away with stuff or gives them priviledges, just because they have a thing going on it..is it right?
    I don't think so. that, and if your parents or friends ask where you met this person, and you're like "im a guard at this prison, and he/she was a inmate" it won't look good.

  3. Nobody can REALLY help but fall in love, it's not up to us, it's up to our blood-pumps lol.... However, whether we act on it or not, it IS our decision. You can't just put away feelings and desires, but if you wanna be ethical you better pr...etend you can... And you shouldn't show it. Then again, who am I to tell somebody not to love and make love to somebody? Nobody has that right. So forget about ethics, if two people are in love, just let them love and give it a rest... Unless there are complications of health (in doctor-patient relations) or other things than the stupid law. I can't understand how could someone be in love with a murderer or a highly violent criminal, but that's another issue, lol!
