2 Break off-All Prisoners accounted for, Shift finished
3 Regime-The day to day running of the prison by timings
4 Burglars- Cell Searching staff
5 Zulu's-Dogs

1. TOIL - Time off in lieu (Not had much of this granted)!!
2. EGP - Ex Gratia Payment
3. CSH - Contract Hours
4. CareBare - Suicide Prevention/Staff Care and Welfare
5. Seg - Segregation Unit
6. Con - Prisoner

Brain now dead, must drink coffee.

Does any one else believe that coffee and nicotine are the staple diet of officers?

Hello, hope you are all safe and well. Just a quick point:

It may not be appropriate to put on the internet some of the callsigns and terminology we use (e.g Zulu etc) as in a lot of cases our radios do not have earpieces and would we, for example, want prisoners to understand that we were requesting a dog unit etc on the UHF net?

Just that not all readers and posters may be serving prison officers and some may be reading this site with less than noble intentions!

Cant see a problem with general prison slang etc though.

Take Care

Cat B Officer London.

Totally agree with guest,

Operational and personal security should be paramount at all times when posting, if unsure you should not post.

Although in this thread there’s more danger from the media taking it out of context then any security concerns.

Public domain and Google spring to mind

Or alternatively you could ask our friend Mark he knows everything about prisons[/u]

Cat B Officer London as guest, a most valid point and it seems you are a little concerned, ever thought of joining site and then you could effectively police it as well as joining in.
