Best Pranks

[ihavenoname]

Everybody that's worked in Corrections for a while has seen some great pranks played on both new and seasoned staff and I just want to see what other institutions have done to pass some of the downtime and just a welcome to the prison jokes.

Had an officer as acting Sgt. 1 evening in complex 3 at Sumter. This guy has several years with the dept. A freind of mine, officer Mc and I were chatting on the phone conspiring a plan to get our acting sgt. on something. Officer Mc. could imitate the nurse's voice to a T. Anyway, he had the acting sgt. thinking that he had to get a fecal sample from an inmate in one of our dormitories. Damn, that was funny. He took the whole thing, hook, line and sinker... ;D ;D

After about 10 minutes, we let him off the hook... It was sweet.

One time long ago at an Institution far, far away....

One night on first shift while assigned as the confinement officer, a fellow an officer was going to work his first time in a tower. He was so excited as it was the tower's responsibility to notify the dorms about releases. I called this officer and warned him about people trying to "New cock him'

"Not me. " he replied.

Still I warned of other examples like being asked to 'Lower the guide wire. Or check the lighting rod. Or asked to find the crank for the windows.'

Again this ofc. said "not me."

And still I warned him someone would new cock him, or at least try.

To my surprise the ofc. called a few hours later to inform me he was standing by at the ready to make the morning call outs. I asked if he wanted to go over it one time he declined.

So the Yard Sgt. called moments later and told him go ahead call it. Which he did, so I called him.

He was exuberant like a boy after his first kiss.

He asked how it sounded, "Fine " I replied.

"Did I get it right?" he questioned, I assured him he had.

Then I asked if he would tell the Yard Sgt. I had no food service releases from confinement.

Which he did....

;D

All I can say is I warned him,

;D

what ever happened to that "go around and flush all the toilets and tell me which way the water flows?" Someone tried it on me and I backfired it in their face. Told em I needed the maintenance CO in and the Plumbers awakened to aid in the check.

I have been known to be a prankster but my best was when secretary singletary was staying overnight at the sumter b.o.q. in 1994. In the sumter b.o.q. there is one particular room that is a vip room for visiting high ranking officials. It is two rooms converted into one and the secretary was staying there overnight enroute to tallahassee from miami or somewhere south.

After he turned out the lights and we were sure he was asleep, we knocked on not only the door as hard as we could but also the window that sits right above his bed which resulted in an audible, "F*ck!!!" from inside the room. He immediately turned on the lights and a sillouhette of him could be seen rising up from the bed. When he finally garnered the courage to open the door and peep out, he saw nothing (we were in the bushes and he was using a flashlight to look at the darkened area outside). As he finally went inside, the power was turned off to his room (we broke in the lobby closet that had the circuit breaker box). We noticed that he came outside barefoot so when we repeated this prank hours later, he had sandspurs in front of his door waiting.

he was sent back to tallahassee with a bumper sticker on the back of his vehicle that was supportive of jeb bush (singletary was a lawton chiles appointee and bush was seeking the governorship that year..he lost to chiles)...superintendent Bedingfield of course heard about it but I think he actually thought it was funny and although I was a suspect, I never had to talk to anyone about it.

that boq was fun in the early to mid nineties, We used to get keys to other peoples rooms and throw flash bang grenades in them while that person was sound asleep..others would come home to an alligator in the room..good times.

I know of another instance concerning S, not half as great.

IG meeting in Ocala, someone charged a beer on S's account. I got to observe the argument at the desk during check out. S does not consume alcohol.

Also out of this meeting someone ordered a birthday cake for the inspector general DS, of course it was not his birthday.

DS was black and his underling was CP a lawyer, need I expound on that. The term Blackman and Robin became there names. I must admit I was not a fan of DS and CP should have been drawn and quartered. But S had a good sense of humor and laughed at all of it.

It's become a sad day in FDC that we can no longer play any jokes/pranks without fear of McD and his cronies.

If you do not have humor in this career, you will die sooner than later

I wanted to use the flashbang grenades on the boq late night wake up we did of singletary but the guy who used to use them on boq residents, captain gm, vetoed it and we went with the other route and awakened him the old fashioned way....if those boq walls could talk oh man would we have been in some hot water..

have any of you ever called the control room and had the control room officer page a non existant inmate?..'attention on the compound inmate dover, ben dover report to education immediately!'

Had a new officer and he always wore a t-shirt with the colors of his favorite NFL team under his uniform shirt. I told him several times about the proper t-shirt to wear, he just ignored me and continued to wear his team colors. I then went to chapter 33 on the computer and cut and pasted the whole page on uniform wear to a word document made a few changes to the document referencing his team colors. He thought the paper was real and stopped wearing his t-shirt.

how about the ones about the remote control for the towers and the Fog zapper
