Inmates save officer's life

Georgia inmates save a correctional officer's life after he's overcome by heat.

That must’ve been a good officer. For him to trust the inmates like that would require mutual respect

"It wasn't about who was in jail and who wasn't it was about a man going down and we had to help him." This is how we make great things.

[CheetoPug]

just because they are inmates doesn’t mean they’re bad people

[bluehairedlawyer]

They should all get a reduced sentence

[WowMarioz]

The inmates that get these type of outdoor jobs are usually ones that the prison considers safe because they have behaved themselves for years. Still a touching story though.

[UberManTampa]

They need a reduction of sentence. They did a good thing and showed signs of rehabilitation.

People might make mistakes in their past, but that doesn’t mean they can’t be amazing people like these guys 💯💯💯💯

That officer needs to buy the inmates a round of cold beers

[mattiastofte]

It's funny how people think inmates no longer are human.

[nursemarn]

These guys acted quickly and with compassion for the officer. It just goes to show that there are good people everywhere, including prison. Nobody is perfect and we can learn from our mistakes.

[enigma]

It pays to treat the inmates decently whenever possible and not lord over them just because you can. I'd also point out those on work details aren't usually dangerous convicts.

_"There's some good in everybody" _*_they're still human like damn. Just because they're inmates doesn't mean they're some heartless people._*

[MikeHunt-ebkr]

It’s not that they are evil, is that they made mistakes. It is a rare rare few that are evil. People just make mistakes, some out of total desperation... we are all human and their humanity shined.

I bet you most of those guys were in jail for non-violent drug offenses

[PwnyDwn]

My grandfather worked the road crew in Louisville Mississippi for 20 years. His crew always respected him like this. Just because you've made mistakes and gotten on the wrong side of the law doesn't by default make you a bad person. In the south respect is earned. This officer had clearly earned respect by showing it. Good stories like this are to rare.

[spicalicious]

We are all entitled to mistakes. However we are all human.

[pearlmax]

They were treated with a 6 pack of beer while Andy just sat back and watched.

[NathanShike-xyec]

Those guys are heroes and should be commended for saving that officers life

[darkball]

it's all up to how the officer's treat the inmates. if the office gives respect respect is gained
