Master Control

Worked my 2nd day of training in master control. Master control is a room along the green that unlocks all the doors in the building except, the pods where inmates are housed, booking, medical, and the kitchen I believe. Its all controlled by a computer screen which is a touch screen. When someone wants in a door they push a button on an intercom, this makes an icon appear which you click which activated the intercom, so you can hear the person then they cant hear you. This also switches a monitor to the closest camera to that door. There are certain rules though. Red suiters, red and whites, orange and whites, and blue and whites always have to be with an officer. Black and whites can go anywhere in the jail. Green and whites can go outside but they have to be escorted out of the jail and searched before coming back in. I also check out keys, anyone checking out a key has to sign the book and give their id. The Post Order says I cant give keys to an inmate and that made me laugh. I also sell tickets to staff dining and send runners. Runners are inmate workers who are under master contol. For example Bravo Pod will call up and say they need a red and white outfit 3x shit xl pants, so ill fill out the paperwork and send the runner. So today I was by myself for a few hours. Its was my second day of training, and technically theres supposed to be 2 people in master control, and technically I am supposed to be a third wheel. But, the lady in corridor went to the doctor so one person was sent there and I sent the other lady to lunch and then she kept going to break and to mail room etc. so I was alone. But master control is easy as fuck and I kept fucking with my runners. I would key on an intercom and send them somewhere before they finished what they were doing. The only thing to remember about master is inmates dont get in or out of kitchen without an officer no matter what color they are, and you cant have the front and back door of the kitchen open.

First day I went to briefing, it was a joke all they say is, " The other shift didnt have anything to pass on." Then they hand out shifts. I hate to say it but so far I love my job, its really awesome. If they would have asked me to stay I would have. Of course its probably only because its new and ill prob get tired of it, but I can definatly see myself in this for the long run. I ate staff dining again and it tore my stomach up. I had a cheeseburger and macaroni salad. The inmate worker recognised me from yesterday so I decided I better be nice to him so he doesnt fuck up my food. Fuck its 1050 and I have to wake up at 0400 so I better get to bed. I get signed off tomorrow so that should be exciting.
