Practical Jokes

Whats sort of gags do you pull on co-workers, both inside and outside the fences?
Maryland's DOC has some notorious pranksters.
The guys in the unit I worked were always talking about the 2000 election, Bush vs Gore. We were all pulling for Bush, me being a die-hard conservative a little more than the others. So the day after election day, Bush appears to have won Florida, and we're pretty happy.

One of my devious homeslices had been up to no good earlier that day. He stopped at any house with a Gore/Lieberman sign in their yard. He'd throw it in the back of his truck, drive a piece, and pull out more signs, whether from the presidential race, congress or senate, always yanking democrat signs. One old lady even asked what he was doing. "Ma'am, we really appreciate your support, I'm just collecting the signs."

That evening, on his dinner relief, he went to the parking lot. At midnight, after I punch out, I can't see my car. There's only this thing where my car used to be, looks like a pile of campainge signs.

Yea that SOB covered my car with signs and tape, a dozen or so co-workers questioning my party loyalty. But I got some simple revenge. I'll post that in the future.

I never could understand what some people think at times. I worked with guy several years ago, liked to play too much. I carried a range bag to work with my lunch etc, it had lots of pockets. One particular night, the bag was in the fridge, as usual. I was in a control station and took my break in there. I opened the pocket to retrieve something, my snub nose .38 is staring me in the face, loaded of course.

This mallet got in my gun box and the rest is history. He ironically no longer works there, a sexual assault got him fired.

When i worked in the jails on the midnight tour we used to call the new officers that worked the dorms and tell them to run mid night rec or tell them to run the inmates to the rooftop swimming pool but of course as we all know there is no midnight rec or rooftop pool but the new officers did not know that so they run the inmates out,but a bunch of officers would be outside the housing area putting the inmates back to bed.Also when an officer retires we will wrap his or her car in layers of plastic wrap,shaving cream and plastic wrap again.

Some of the folks got a guy I hired in with. They told him to do a Ethnic Count, wanted to make sure all the Whites, Blacks, Indians, Mexicans and Orientals were accounted for

Lets see...having a newbie go down the tier and take names for the Inmate Easter Egg Hunt, checking all the clocks in the institution when the time changes (Daylight Savings Time), having a newbie pull out the fire hose and check it for leaks (Can't do that one anymore) and putting butter or mayo on the earpiece of the phone so when someone answers it...I fell for that one. You get the idea. These are some of the clean ones I can mention. Of course there are those who kinda get carried away with it.

Well you should be glad it was only butter or mayo.. Got to watch someone walk by with black shoe polish on their ear and part of their cheek, back in 96, funny thing was, it got the wrong prankster, but at least it got one of them, even if he was a Lieutenant.

We used to call the rookies and tell them that we worked in the laundry and that the Warden was on our asses about being low on t-shirts, boxers and socks and we would tell them that they had to go cell to cell and count how many each inmate had....one guy literally worked for hours on this before we told him different.....he still gets mad as hell when we talk about it!!! LOL!!!

One of our fav's at ECI is to tell the rookies that they can not be issued a cuff key without a cuff key card. Of course the only way to get one is to report to the duty lt. and request one.
