It was worked out 2 decades ago females balance out male agression. Due to nature of the justice system male officers in prisons and police caused problems with the way they responded. Females cut down on a lot of brutality against clients
this not only benifite prisoners but also the work force and budget
They also teach males there's other ways of dealing than the testorone way.
It was male Tutors that explained this to me.
I have no issue with gender used this way. When it's done for the sake of it. Different.
You would see the crooks check themselves at times when dealing with a female officer, but at other times it didn't matter, they just wouldn't be able to contain themselves.
Doesn't matter what gender you are when you tell them NO!
Unless they're facilitating a specific program, female officers don't really teach anything. Irrespective of gender, staff are to conduct themselves in a positive way and hope that it rubs off on the crooks.
Some of my colleagues were from the old Pentridge days, they would tell me stories and I couldn't understand why you would voluntarily show up each day to work in that sort of environment.
