Practical Jokes

I think that the biggest part of the practical jokes where I am from is sending new boots on wild goose chases. One of the biggest that used to happen was that they would find a young gulable new boot and tell them they needed to go get the key to the basement and get 10 feet of out going chain. Well, there was no basement and out going chain is the term we use when offenders are leaving our facility. So, they would be sent from duty post to duty post looking for the keys to get to the out going chain. There were some of them that would around the facility for hours looking for them. I can remember one poor SOB that spent about about an hour and half looking for the keys, when I finally told him to stop. Then a Sergeant told him to go look for a note pad of ID-10-T (IDIOT) forms and a note pad of BA-11s (BAlls). He was searching probably for another hour and half when he stopped for directions and I had to let him off the hook. I don't know how he trusted anyone he worked with after that!...lol

I heard some of the "Old Heads" had a newbie go to Supply and get a container of Elbow Grease.

I had a friend working in the visiting room this one day. I called him up and said that I was Officer So&So in the visitor registration center and a visitor that had just entered had left their keys out here. The visitors name...Harry Ballzak. When I heard him call out,"Ballzak, Harry Ballzak, is there a Harry Ballzak in here." , I nearly fell out of my seat I was laughing so hard. I still don't think he has forgiven for that one.

We've had people looking all over their units for Retaw kits, a water flow reversal kit (missing the reversing wrench. There was one told to me they sent the n00b to the warehouse looking for a wire stretcher and when the warehouse played along and said they didn't have it, she took the perimeter vehicle and left site to the Wal-Mart to look for the part. Needless to say she and everyone else got reamed over that one.

We had one CO that was always pulling pranks....so one night the shift collected all the punch hole dots from all the 'paperwork' throughout the last few days. (Plus we added a little ....extra.) On break I went out to his pickup which he always left unlocked and put all the dots down his defroster vent. I turned his air on defrost and full blast...and when we clocked out and got in our vehicles he had Christmas early in July. I laughed for days.

When I was a new CO at county jail, I was taken to search a male inmate. I searched this inmate like I had been taught in military police school which was "you should find every hair they have". Turns out the male inmate was actually a male sergeant wearing inmates clothes. He told me later I almost made him swallow the handcuff key he had in his mouth!

Here's one for ya. A couple months back we had a rookie on the 8-4 shift and it was one of his first days on his own on a tier. We called him up and told him that he was getting a new inmate on his tier. Last name Goesinya, first name Peter. We told him that we didn't have the inmates DOC # and he would have to call ext. 1350 which is the desk LT to get it. So he called and told the desk LT that he needed a DOC# for a new inmate named Peter Goesinya and instead of telling the rookie it was a joke the LT started laughing and told him he had to call operations and gave him the ext. We laughed for days about that one, but I don't think the rookie thought it was so funny.

On of the best jokes that we pulled on some one was when I was working in the military prison in Leavenworth. We had this Gunney that was in charge of the line staff, or as they called it, DOC. Well this guy HATED inmates with a passion. So we set him up with a made up inmate and a made up letter addressed to him in DOC. The letter stated that when the inmate got out of prison if it was ok to stop buy his house and have a cup of joe with him, the Gunny being the nice guy that he was. Needless to say the Gunney went off the deep end. But the next day, a new letter hit the Gunneys desk. It stated that the inmate wanted to go out with his teenage daughter and if it was ok to call him dad because they were in love. The inmate also wanted to borrow a few thousand dollars to get his life in order, a fresh start. We almost had to call a medical emergency for this guy. I never knew that the veins could stick out in your fore head. Man was he smoking hot! After a few moments we let the Gunney in on the joke, being a prankster him self. Wrong move! He gave us a whole crap load of extra duty as punishment for laying this doozy on him. But you know, it was worth it.
