Former corrections captain who had relations with Susan Smith says she's not ready for parole

[@SpicyBeautifulDisaster]

[@kellibellefox2123]

What Susan did was unspeakably cruel. And what this creepy weirdo did was unethical. He was a safe keeper of female inmates. By SC law, no way can sex between an inmate and a CO be consensual. He’s no different than a calculated rapist. Sure, she probably was willing and took the opportunity, she got what she wanted as a result and that was a transfer to a prison closer to her family. But he was hired to keep order, safeguard, and police the women’s prison. He threw away his career for a roll in the hay and in recent years he’s appeared singing like a parakeet in any show that will pay for his story. He’s an opportunist and he needs to sit his nasty tail down somewhere and just shut up.

I noticed when she asked him when his relationship became personal and he starts rambling about his boss who died rather than addressing her question. What he did was so wrong so he doesn't want to talk about that. He wants to say his boss (now deceased) had told him to listen and be sympathetic to the inmates but I cannot imagine his boss told him to be intimate with them. I think they are as messed up as the inmates with mental problems if they fool around with them. You are so right. He needs to shut his nasty self up, lol.

This agency head was forced to step down instead of being fired like she richly deserved due to worker's within her agency not doing their jobs so it was her fault, now she didn't take any responsibility but she was allowed to step down. She had gotten a big pass at the agency before basically running the system into to the ground and closing several facilities .When you are upper tier manage ment you can be totally incompetent in your duties while coming down on any males that have made a mistake.
