Have a Heart Attack


One of our veteran female officers was working the floor that housed all of the 288's. That is short for Penal Code 288 referring to child molesters.

One of the inmates on that floor had been trying to manipulate officers and medical staff to give him pain killers for yet another mysterious ailment. He was known for this behavior by many of the officers, and by all of the medical staff as well. There was nothing really wrong with him. He would always inform everyone of his rights. He was a genuine pest.
The inmate would not leave officer Bardly alone. She kept telling him that he needed to turn in a green slip (a medical request form) for treatment.

In a final attempt to convince officer Bardly to circumvent the process, he said in a feverous pitch, "what if I have a heart attack?" She stopped what she was doing, turned and looked him in the eye. "You'll die and go to hell!"
