ACCORDING TO female prison guards interviewed in The Seattle Times after last week’s murder of Jayme Biendl, women are perfectly capable of supervising violent male criminals. In fact, women have just the right people skills for the job. Said one female guard, “What do women excel at? Managing people and kids, which is what some of these (inmates) are. It’s just a bigger house, more kids.”

Guarding rapists and murderers living in a state of forced celibacy is the same type of work, essentially no different, as taking care of small children.

Washington prison employees clocked a total of 8,900 days last year (24 years altogether) due to assaults and on-the-job injuries, including one presumed sexual assault against a female guard. A Justice Department study in Montana last year found, “Female staff are more often implicated than their male counterparts in prison sexual misconduct. While many cases could be considered consensual, incarceration experts and female prison guards say the problem is much more complicated.” How often are male prisoners compliant with female guards in the hope of sexual favors?

The Seattle Times states the public is puzzling over the recent murder. It is not puzzling over Biendl’s death but over the insanity of treating the position of prison guard as if it were any office job. It is easy for the women guards who spoke up to be cavalier. They are typically in ear shot of male officers. They are willing to put a few women at risk, such as those who find themselves in dangerous situations, as did Biendl, in order to protect lucrative jobs.

Once again, a severe reality check fails to persuade leftist egalitarians from abandoning their course of destruction. I have to conclude that leftism is a spiritual blindness that is very difficult to escape from. I use the word “spiritual” because, as some of your readers have pointed out, we are engaged in a conflict that involves much more than just words. We are engaged in a battle for the souls and lives of human beings.

A man I know who worked as a prison guard characterized the job as 99% boredom and 1% sheer terror. I don’t think that quite meshes with a description that the job is essentially taking care of babies and household chores. Perhaps men are better at boredom and sheer terror, but I’d rather choose to think that taking care of babies and the household is neither boring nor frightful.
