The "Hug-A-Thug" program is an IMPLIED, UNOFFICIAL concept founded in the principles, philosophies, and policies & procedures of
liberal minded, soft hearted detention facility administrators. Professional correctional officers feel that those admisitrators APPEAR more concerned with providing criminal offenders with
FAR too many more "comforts of
home" and personal rights and freedoms than they deserve, as opposed to providing them merely the
basic necessary entitlements mandated to them by law.
Vis-a'-Vis, as a result professional correctional officers feel that this mind frame de-values and undermines the rights of the offenders victims' as well as OUR
safety both inside and outside the facility.
After victimizing people in
society and then asssaulting a jaili staff
member, the Hug-a-
thug program dictates that the inmate be returned to population without consequence.
