Such a tragic and heartbreaking loss. This incident highlights the extreme risks corrections officers face every day in maintaining safety and order within our prisons. It’s a stark reminder of the urgent need for better resources, training, and staffing to protect those who serve in such challenging roles. Let’s hope this tragedy leads to meaningful reforms to ensure no officer has to face such dangers in the future. Rest in peace, Officer Lansing. My thoughts and prayers are with his family and colleagues during this difficult time.

Why arnt they showing the inmate that was beat to unalive

Hollywood movie producers love to depict corrections officers as evil and cruel jerks in the movies and they get the public thinking like that. It may have been like that some time in the past, but today it's just the opposite. Now, you will never see a more arrogant and self-entitled group of people as inmates, who rub it in the faces of these officers that they are protected from just about anything, often with little to lose anyway. There's practically no way to effectively discipline inmates. About half of what an honorable soldier is made to do is considered "cruel and unusual punishment" for a convicted criminal. That's what's become of our society. We even had 50 years of cutting their Social Security (WEP), accusing CO's, who have an average life expectancy of 61 years, of getting a retirement windfall from Social Security. And they wonder why they can't find enough CO's.

Why isn't anyone talking about the officer who was killed in Ohio by an inmate on Christmas? But the story of corrections officers killing an inmate in NY is all over social media

[richardwarfordjr.]

Why do they keep details from the people?? Hiding something

[showmestateofmind]

This is very sad. I'm not trying to imply anything and I mean what I say, but why is a woman in charge of a State's prison system? How do women get put in charge of police departments, prisons, military units and departments? It's DEI. Instead of getting preferential treatment because of one's race, women in political appointments are being fast tracked through a system that depends on men. It's ridiculous and our country is weak because of it. Just look at the head of HHS under Biden. What a disgrace

The only difference between guards and prisoners is what side of the bars they are standing.

[Gordonmom]

so tragic for his family and co-workers. Does Ohio have the death penalty? Another killer for Biden to pardon?

[kiatupato]

Very sad. My Condolences to his family❤

[jannetteortiz]

Ok so we are supposed to believe he was a kind person

Reminder that some of you picked a president wanting violent felons like this to get reduced sentences or outright freed. We traded an arms dealer for a basketball player, totally a sign of competence for this administration.

You never do prison videos in Maine. Not to brag but a guy that robbed and assaulted me died being beat to death in prison. His name was renaldo Jones. You should do a story about that. .
