Hell, can you? A C/O is usually stuck in a unit by themselves with at least 100 inmates. You'd have to be jacked to be able to perform your job. Not to mention that some prisons still let inmates lift weights. Most C/O's that lift are at a dissavantage because these inmates lift in someway or another (iron weights, push-ups, water bags, ect..) all day compared to the C/O that can pretty much lift only his off time. What would you rather have working a prison keeping these inmates in line, a 150lb-185lb C/O or a 250lb jacked C/O? I honestly feel that Cops, Military, Correctional Officers and Firefighters should be given some flexablility when it comes to using gear. thats just my two cents.
