Sergeant James Booker

Because when I was at prison, at the prison system, I knew I had guys that were never going home. You know, their people was coming and going. It was always going to change, you know.

But being in the jail system, it was quite different because you had a lot of laws that you had to learn, a lot of different rules you had to learn versus prison was basically set in 33-8, which that was the code that governed the prison at that particular time.

I met Raymond... I was his supervisor. Okay. And, oh, man, I can't do not. I'm trying to think because that's been so long ago. Because, like I say, we were all young. Because I made a supervisor, like, the first two years I was down as a sergeant. And so Raymond worked under me, and I would say probably 87, 88. I'm thinking maybe the time frame that he was working for me.

And Raymond, like a lot of the young guys who worked up under me, and at this particular time, now I'm becoming one of the older guys because I'm five, six years older than them. I'm much older now. So these guys, they would go out, they would party, then they called in sick for work. So I give them the talking to. Okay, they're not getting the talking to. Now I got to give them some paperwork.

So now my thing will say, hey, press down hard, third copy yours. Take that one for yourself. And believe it or not, I wrote Raymond up. I disciplined him for calling in sick. And that, believe it or not, brought us closer together because he came to me and said, you know what? I'm so glad you wrote me up because you made me realize I have a family and I need this job.

And that's how he and I became close friends. beyond the job. Because I looked at him and I thought, you know what? This guy want to be here. He understands what this means to have this job. Because his family was the most important thing. And unfortunately, some of the young fellas that came along, they ended up getting terminated because of the sick time.

And he straightened that part of himself out. And Raymond was, man, let me tell you, Raymond was the type of guy at the job And you see the size of Raymond, right? You see the size. He's a massive guy. And back then, you know, guys in jail were big guys because we had weights in the jails at the time. And these guys work out.
