Wow, easy way for an inmate or accomplice to put a C/O uniform together….just get an officer to send you the peices… I could see it at moundsville, or another exhibition or conference, but I would be leary of mailing things like that to someone you don’t really know.

It’s the business we’re in. Never can be too cautious. I wouldn’t expect an LSU fan to understand. Good luck Jan 7th. should be a good game.

You can find many patches for sale on the internet, including big name auction sites. Hopefully, your agencies have many safeguards to protect against escape or unlawful entries. A set of patches and an illegally pieced together uniform should not allow a person into a decently run institutions parking lot, let alone an escape. I don’t even think a private for-profit prison could allow that to happen.

CDCRJim inmates escape in their own clothes all the time all across the country. If they pull it off it looking like an inmate, you honestly think it would be hard for them to do it in an officer’s uniform?

I don’t believe swapping patches can lead to an escape risk. Lazy staff, stupid staff, old and outdated facilities, under staffing, overcrowding, and one lucky inmate lead to escapes.

I agree those circumstances can definitely lead to an escape, but having a staff uniform doesn’t hurt your chances in making it easier.
