‘They were moving me all around and I had a broken neck.’
Imagine falling and breaking your neck, but no one takes you to the hospital right away.
That’s exactly what a local woman says happened to her inside the St. Clair County Jail and now she’s trying to make sure something like this doesn’t happen to anyone else.
Lisa Brown takes full responsibility for why she ended up briefly behind bars. But now she says a 20-day jail sentence has left her with a life sentence of partial paralysis and disability.
The CO I know is close to retirement and cant wait for it. Its rough though because hes conveyed to me he knows it’s going to be a worse place when hes gone but the amout of pushback he gets from the other officers to the Brass just isn’t good for him, simply for trying to do the job as it’s writren in the book. He’s got a family himself and as bad as the system has always been, he didn’t sign up for what it’s become. Its no wonder they cant find new recruits like they used to. The money’s right, the hours arent, the work isnt, and the cowerkers can be as dangerous as the inmates. Plus from the stories I’m told, you’re almost necessarily going to see some shit you can not un see.
