Cheating death and fighting communism: that is how a fellow officer once described our job. It was meant to be funny, but as time went on it seemed all too true.
I spent more than ten years in law enforcement, all of it on the street in uniform patrol. I've been a patrol officer, instructor, sergeant and lieutenant.

Were there a lot of suicides in your prison, and what's the most common way prisoners do it?

It sounds like you should talk to a local police officer or deputy sheriff. If you do not want to talk to someone in law enforcement, call 211 for a referral to non-law enforcement assistance. If you are feeling suicidal, please call 1-800-273-8255.
