I'm like, no, they don't get matches.

They get a battery and they get a paper clip and they make it work.

So I'm around these guys.

And even then, I'm like, I still make it and manage to like glide through things.

I have not had an altercation with an inmate physically, verbally all the time, physically up until this point.

So the warden, the assistant deputy warden there, this is like their baby.

And they're very proud that this unit is working with me as a one to nine steady officer.

I am not on the floor.

I'm just an escort at this time.

So if they need to go to the mental health clinic, if they need to go to the regular clinic, they have a visit, they have to see their lawyer, law library.

I'm escorting them through general population hallways as a high mental health patient.

Regardless of these mental health labels that these guys get, they're still gang related as well.

A lot of them are Crip.

A lot of them are Blood.

They're Latin King.

They're Trinitario.

And it's like they get word from the general population, guys, that I'm a cool guy.

You know, regardless of their A officer in the post or the B officer that's steady on the floor with them, as an escort officer, don't disrespect me because I'm one of you guys.

And I've never disrespected them.

So it kind of that karmic energy worked in my favor.
