a cell extraction or use of force, calculated-type use of force. but on some occasions, staff do get injured. i have seen occasions where staff have been injured to point of broken arms. i have seen staff receive feces thrown in their face. i have seen staff where they actually had their headgear broken into pieces because they was hit so hard when they entered the cell. after extracting him from a shower cell in the crisis unit, officers are transporting this inmate to the shoe for destroying prison property. he beat out a window with a handle. we had to go inside the cell, take him out. this is a spit mask. it s required by our institution so the inmate does not spit on us. this inmate will have to pay for the broken window and will have up to 90 days shoe time added to his sentence. while three months in the shoe may seem like a long time, some prisoners spend years within these walls. when i first got here, i thought, oh, wow, this is going
