ALFRED, Maine — A sergeant was injured in a skirmish at the York County Jail Tuesday night in the wake of an inmate refusing to return to his cell, police said Wednesday.
The inmate, whom York County Major William King refused to identify because he was not charged with any crime, allegedly struggled with officers when they tried to get him back to his cell.
The corrections officer in the man’s unit radioed for assistance, King said, and Sgt. Jill Brooks and another officer subsequently responded.
During the ensuing struggle, the inmate and Brooks fell to the ground and Brooks hit her head, losing consciousness momentarily.
The inmate eventually cooperated and returned to his cell, and was uninjured in the scuffle. Brooks was taken to Goodall Hospital in Sanford, where she was treated and released.
The jail was locked down for precautionary reasons, King said. The inmate is behind bars on charges of possession of a weapon by a felon.
If any of you read my comments (most disagreed with me) about curbing prison violence in regard to the story about the guy in the Florida jail that was transferred back to Maine.-this is what I was talking about. This happened at a Maine county jail. Violence between inmates spills over to the guards-sometimes with deadly results.
anybody see the moonbats Cain or Haskell?
Maine has 186 hacks who have never spent an overnight in a jail or prison let along a week or a month.
How can these people spend hundreds of millions of our tax dime without having experienced how that money is being used?
Yo Annie, it is called ” a participant observer”
By the way why is this legislature called “pass the point of no return moonbats”
when there is a discussion about Global Warming?

Saul Alinsky was a participant observer, eh?
http://www.progress.org/2003/alinsky5.htm
, I found out that criminology was just as removed from actual crime
and criminals as sociology was from society, so I decided to make my
doctoral dissertation a study of the Al Capone mob — an inside study.
PLAYBOY: What did Capone have to say about that?
ALINSKY: Well, my reception was pretty chilly at first — I went
over to the old Lexington Hotel, which was the gang’s headquarters, and I
hung around the lobby and the restaurant. I’d spot one of the mobsters
whose picture I’d seen in the papers and go up to him and say, “I’m Saul
Alinsky, I’m studying criminology, do you mind if I hang around with
you?” And he’d look me over and say, “Get lost, punk.” This happened
again and again, and I began to feel I’d never get anywhere. Then one
night I was sitting in the restaurant and at the next table was Big Ed
Stash, a professional assassin who was the Capone mob’s top executioner.
He was drinking with a bunch of his pals and he was saying, “Hey, you
guys, did I ever tell you about the time I picked up that redhead in
Detroit?” and he was cut off by a chorus of moans. “My God,” one guy
said, “do we have to hear that one again?” I saw Big Ed’s face fall;
mobsters are very sensitive, you know, very
thin-skinned. And I reached over and plucked his sleeve. “Mr. Stash,” I
said, “I’d love to hear that story.” His face lit up. “You would, kid?”
He slapped me on the shoulder. “Here, pull up a chair. Now, this broad,
see . . .” And that’s how it started.
Big Ed had an attentive audience and we became buddies. He introduced me
to Frank Nitti, known as the Enforcer, Capone’s number-two man, and
actually in de facto control of the mob because of Al’s
income-tax rap. Nitti took me under his wing. I called him the
Professor and I became his student. Nitti’s boys took me everywhere,
showed me all the mob’s operations, from gin mills and whorehouses and
bookie joints to the legitimate businesses they were beginning to take
over. Within a few months, I got to know the workings of the Capone mob
inside out.
What the hell? Earth to Msfreeh >>> Earth to MSfreeh!!!! Where’s the part about the guard gettin a concussion??? Holy CRAP!!!
That improoved my compression durn neer hunert percunt.
Participant observation is a structured type of research strategy. It is a widely used methodology in many disciplines, particularly, cultural anthropology, but also sociology, communication studies, and social psychology.
Its aim is to gain a close and intimate familiarity with a given group
of individuals (such as a religious, occupational, or sub cultural
group, or a particular community) and their practices through an
intensive involvement with people in their natural environment, usually
over an extended period of time. The method originated in field work of
social anthropologists, especially the students of Franz Boas in the United States, and in the urban research of the Chicago School of sociology.
In anthropology, participant-observation is organized so as to produce a kind of writing called ethnography.
It can be applied or academic in nature. A key principle of the method
is that one may not merely observe, but must find a role within the
group observed from which to participate in some manner, even if only as
“outside observer.” Overt participant-observation, therefore, is
limited to contexts where the community under study understands and
permits it. Critics of overt participant observation argue that study is
subsequently restricted to the public fronts socially constructed by
actors. Gate-keepers ensure that known research never goes backstage,
making covert strategies necessary especially when conducting studies on
government entities or criminal organisations.[1]
Huh???
too much beer in the convo it seems.
Maybe it’s the free h .
Warming as in http://www.heatisonline.org , eh?
If there was a civilian police review board with subpoena powers there would be
less problems of inmate says-guard says.
Time for civilians to take control of a military operated taxpayer funded electronic cesspool that does little more than produce more vicious and competent criminals that is
called the criminal justice system.
75 % failure rate at a cost to taxpayers of $56,000.00 to warehouse 1 inmate for 1 year.
Look what happened today in another county jail.
The inmates are running the asylum folks.
L.A. County sheriff’s deputy alleges colleague pointed gun at him
Sgt. Mark Moffett says it was one of many
threats against him over the years in a vendetta by Sgt. Timothy Cooper,
who was recommended for a demotion but got a 15-day suspension.

20 DAYS LOSS OG GOOD TIME
They should not only be able to eliminate good time but also be able to add time for assaulting a C.O.
“the inmate and Brooks fell to the ground and Brooks hit her head,”
She wouldn’t have been injured if he had not been a jackass…
from what I have heard jail birds , espically the ones that are always in there, run the show.
….
He was not charged with any crime “in this incident” I believe is what he meant.
….
More great investigative cut and paste by BDN staff.
Gadds! The don’t even proofread what they copy!!!
Not charged with a crime . How about adding another six months . He is lucky he did not get maced and the crap beat out of him. I think most inmates respect the woman officers and would not get into a struggle with them over nonsense. Time he learns a lesson.
6 months…is that you answer. How about 6 years.
The answer don’t work in corrections your expendable
