I agree that reporting him to the supervisor is a wise choice. I think that would be a hard thing to do for someone in that situation since he threatened their job if they did not do as they wanted. But, even though it could be a hard thing to do, reporting him is the best-case scenario. Prisons cannot have officers like Williams but rather need officers who report the wrongdoings of other officers. We need good correctional officers in our prisons because we can influence their lives while locked up. If they see corruption on the inside, then when they get out, they will just continue to make bad choices that could lead them right back to prison. Officer Gould should report FTO Williams as soon as she can so that he receives the proper disciplinary action. Great post you have here!
