A random post of the York Correctional Institute Inmate Handbook from 9/30/2010
Dated for sure but grim reading all the same for those interested.
Not sure how all the rules will be dealt with MT who seems to believe that rules are just for others.
Buckle up buttercup as reality is HERE!
Just a few tidbits:
- Addressing Staff. Uniform staff should be addressed by title: “Officer (name)”, “Lieutenant (name)”, “Captain (name).”, Non uniform staff should be addressed either by title or by “Mister or Ms. (name)”. If you do not know the title, address the staff as “Mister or Ms. (name)”. If you do not know the name, use “Sir” or “Ms”.
- Following Orders. You must obey any order issued to you by a staff member. If more than one order has been given, obey the last order. Failure to comply with an order will result in disciplinary action.
- Personal Conduct. You are required to conduct yourself in a responsible manner.
- You are not permitted to engage in behavior that disrupts the order of the facility, threatens security endangers the safety
of any person, or imperils State or personal property.
- You are not permitted to make sexually suggestive remarks or gestures to any person or engage in any sexual activity.
- You are not permitted to make excessive noise or to use profanity.
Given the MT fashion focus during her 'Beige Phase' here is the section from the Manual on "CLOTHING":
