Prison officer 'was too pretty'

[ccharles000]

Amitjo Kajla, 27, is claiming constructive dismissal after leaving her job in Brinsford Young Offenders' Institution near Wolverhampton.

However former colleagues questioned her behaviour with male inmates and suggested she chose to reject advice about the dress code.

It was also alleged many inmates knew where she lived.

Lee Hastings, who worked with Miss Kajla, said: "I heard that her personal address and the area in which she lived was, shall we say, common knowledge amongst the inmates."

Miss Kajla claims she was effectively sacked by Brinsford in April last year following a blemish-free spell working at Shrewsbury prison.

1. Whats

her address?

2. She had "boundary issues"?

The inmates knew where she lived?

She's nuts. Too stupid to be a screw. Getting sacked probably saved her life, provided none of the inmates sends a pal on the outside to go visit her...........................

4. another movie for your queue: will check title, but it's with Tim Roth and AManda Pays, I think:

he plays an inmate who falls for his beautiful prison dentist. it's England!

I love him, and I love her lips

btw, those other two movies are OK, not great...maybe I exaggerated how good they are (still many scenes of jocosity to enjoy)

that said, how about A Private Function, with Michael Palin/Maggie Smith? now that's funny. or The Missionary, again with both of them, and featuring my favorite movie monologue (Trevor Howard) this side of

General Ripper's Precious Bodily Fluids exegisis. that's worth the rental itself

also, am watching Lucky Jim, with Terry Thomas, right now. ha ha haaaa! 'you seeeaaammm?'

just about the funniest book I ever read, outside GWB's autobio (kidding...never bothered with that one, duh)

5. ah, even better: Julia Ormond....Captives

''A beautiful young dentist (Ormond) working in a tough British prison starts to become attracted to a violent inmate (Roth) after the break-up of her marriage.....''

6. Tim Roth and/or Maggie Smith -

I'll watch those two in anything. So, thanks again.

I'm currently watching "Capote" with Philip Seymour Hoffman. Sort of like Jamie Foxx in "Ray" - larger-than-life characters easy to mimic. I'm not that impressed, but, Hoffman's good. And ballsy.

Ever see a movie called "The Moderns"? Probably my favorite film of all time.

After "Mothra," of course..........................

7. LOVED Moderns...except for that goof who played Hemingway.

saw that at the McArthur, was it, up canal road, in NW DC or Maryland...

that said, read Black Sun, about Harry Crosby....great jazz age bio (Hart Crane jumps off their ocean liner, etc.)

and that movie always reminds me of Choose Me, which up there among my favorites

ever seen that? maybe the same director, who I like a lot

didn't he also do the one with Julie Christie and Nick Nolte?

from the Altman stable, yes?

9. Alan Rudolph

He's sensational, isn't he? And, yes, an Altman protege, natch.

"The Moderns" just knocked me out, so much so that I asked the theater manager for the poster - and he gave it to me the night the movie closed, which happened to be my birthday! I saw it at the Shirlington theater in Arlington.

I had it framed, and it hung for years in the living room.

When my agent sold my first novel, I went to NY to meet my editor/publisher at HarperCollins in person. To escape the uproar in the office that surrounded my arrival - everyone loved my ms - she and I went to a bar, and as we settled in, enjoying the cool dark quiet of the place, she asked, "What's your favorite movie?"

I told her it was "The Moderns," and the eyes bugged out of her head. Seems that was the favorite movie of this man she'd met recently, someone she was rather crazy about. She'd been married twice before, so she was being very cautious. But, she was just knocked out by my naming that movie as my favorite.

Six months later, I sent them the poster as my wedding gift to them.

The Christie/Nolte movie was "Afterglow," and it, too, was wonderful.

Ever see his "Mrs. Parker And The Vicious Circle" and "Mortal Thoughts" (the only Bruce Willis movie I didn't want to take an axe to)?

Damn, my Netflix queue is getting longer and longer.......................................

3. Every prison I have ever seen had a UNIFORM

and they were not all that "charming". It sounds like there is more to this story. Also, every pretty woman I have ever known, knew how to "un-enhance" her looks.

It's probably actually dangerous to "glam-up" when you are surrounded by locked up guys who have zero access to women..:scared:

8. Women shouldn't guard male prisoners or vice versa

My opinion is that women have no business working as guards in men's prisons. Males shouldn't work guarding female prisoner's either. Especially in the latter situations there has been intolerable abuses of prisoners.

From the report;

"However former colleagues questioned her behaviour with male inmates and suggested she chose to reject advice about the dress code."

She'll be better off in another line of employment.

10. "Shrewsbury"?

12. There's one in Massachusetts, too... nt

11. Sounds to me like

she lacks the boundries also. We had one female guard here that was hooking up w/ an inmate that she met in jail. Later we found out that she was taking letters in and out of the jail for one of his friends accused of killing his wife. He was threatening and intimidating the family of his dead ex. Needless to say she was let go to say the least.
