🧱 Title: Streaming Keeps Me Sane
✍️ Series: Behind the Wall, Beyond the Game – Part 3*👤 By @GraylineChi—Corrections changes you.You spend enough time behind those walls, constantly on guard, and eventually, it gets harder to turn it off.

The Shift Never Ends—Unless You Make It
✍️ Series: Behind the Wall, Beyond the Game*👤 By @GraylineChi—There’s something nobody tells you when you start working in corrections: just because your shift ends doesn’t mean the mental weight clocks out with you.You walk out of the facility, but your mind is still there—replaying conversations, evaluating behavior, preparing for tomorrow. That “post-prison brain” follows you all the way…

After the Shift: How Gaming and Streaming Help Me Decompress and Grow
Working in corrections isn’t your typical 9 to 5. The weight we carry from shift to shift—mentally, emotionally, sometimes physically—is something most people outside the walls will never fully understand. After hours spent in that high-alert environment, stepping back into the “real world” doesn’t always feel so real.For me, the first step to staying sane—and growing personally—is figuring out…

Instilling Ownership: Rebuilding Accountability in Today’s Correctional Workforce
Pt. 1 By a Correctional Supervisor Committed to the MissionThere’s a phrase I often repeat to my team: “This uniform doesn’t just cover a body—it represents a standard.” But lately, I’ve seen too many officers wearing the uniform without understanding the weight behind it.As a correctional supervisor with years in the trenches, I’m frustrated—not with the demands of the job, but with the growing…

“When the Job Becomes a Burden: The Unspoken Frustrations of a Correctional Supervisor”
As a correctional officer supervisor, I’ve worn the weight of the badge long enough to know that this job isn’t for everyone. But lately, the weight doesn’t just come from the challenges inside the walls—it comes from within our own ranks. One of the most disheartening trends I’ve seen is officers who show up physically, but not mentally or professionally. Whether it’s cutting corners, ignoring…

Corrections Officer Mental Health
Working inside correctional facilities requires more than physical presence—it demands emotional endurance, vigilance, and an ability to suppress fear, frustration, and trauma on a daily basis. For many Corrections Officers, this emotional toll can evolve into something much more dangerous: unaddressed and untreated Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). I’ve served in this role for many years,…

Leadership
The old cliche there is no such thing as a bad team just a bad leader. This cliche is true in the most truest form. In corrections I have had the honor to work for and beside some amazing leaders. Ive also work with some leaders that lacked knowledge along with the skill to be able to lead a team, and honestly no common sense. A good leader takes the good with the bad. a good leader takes…

Veteran Officers vs. Young Officers
Throughout the years I have observed the way young officers deal with situations with agitated inmates and they way they talk to the inmates. They are eager to go hands on kick ass and save the day. Eager to lock someone down and brag about how many lock downs they got that day. It reminds me of a story one of my Professors told me in a class twenty some years ago. He was a rookie officer on…

The Switch
No body ever tells you when you first start as a CO how mentally draining and numb it makes you feel. I knew any job or career you will grow into it and adapt to the job, but in the last few years I have noticed myself numb to certain things in life. As a CO on post you have policies, procedures, and training to do your job, and at home you have the training from family and loved ones. You have…
