If he looked somewhat normal and clean, sure, same rule that applies for everybody

100% yes.  He is still a person, although one who makes made decisions.  Child perps, rapist, wife beaters not a chance.  Murderer possibly depends.

I was a guard for a while, and I had no issues with shaking their hands. Most of the time if you treated them with respect then you would be respected.

That's what inmates do, even they don't wanna shake hands with other inmates.

Good point.  The guy's in prison.  He's certainly an inkie.  Wouldn't want to catch Hep C or any other of that smorgasbord of diseases carried by your average inkie.

I read that as "Ickies" at first.

Elbow rub instead? I had a client who thought he was Howard Hughes. He would shake hands with no one, he wanted to touch elbows instead. It was the most awkward psychosis ever, especially when he was interacting with other "captains of industry"

Once he sees your teardrop tattoo, he's gonna pull that hand back right quick.

I don't like shaking hands with coworkers let alone other people I don't know.

Inmate probably happy kids getting adopted. Should get him off the child support hook lol

The real questions should be why would he shake hands with a lawyer.
Link Posted: 5/6/2016 10:22:22 AM EDT
[#30]
Depends on who he is and why I'm there.  Generally speaking when I'm in a jail I do not permit inmates to initiate any kind of contact.  That's for their safety as well as mine.  Shaking hands is a sign of trust.  



I have made a few exceptions but only after letting the jail staff know I was OK with it.  Once I did it to congratulate a long time convict on finally getting out and starting his new life.  He was a true convict, not some whiny ass bitch prisoner.  Another time it was to thank an inmate for stepping in and preventing an all out gang assault on me while I was putting someone in cuffs.

Im still hung up on the fact that he is in jail for stealing drugs from a DRUG DEALER??? Hows that work?

We had to use gloves and masks when we handled inmate paperwork in the office so we wouldn't get HIVerpesatitis from the inkies.

I would. No need to disrespect a man just for a bad decision. If he was super scary and looked like he could seriously injure me, and was mentally deranged,
I would decline though.

The first time I meet 98% of my customers, they are in jail.  Yes, I shake hands with 99% of them.  After I get them on their way and I get back to my car, I use the hand sanitizer I keep in the car (and the truck) 100% of the time.

Have you seen the toilet paper used in jail?

No, I try to avoid touching inmates whenever possible.

I've done the fist bump when a long time resident finally makes chain but there's no way I'm shaking and inmates hand.

Yes, because the only difference between us is he got caught. I'd be watching is other hand though....

Why not? I shook hands with defendants after trials, too. And I was the one trying to put them or keep them in jail.

Prisons are a hotbed of infection.  I work in a school though, and they're worse.  It's the prisoner that should think twice about shaking MY hand.

not only would I but  I have, working with at risk students I annually took a bunch of them to a local lockup to get lectured to by cons on a cell block. I live in a relatively safe suburb of Cook county, pretty white bread suburb, the first time I met a couple of these guys I was quite surprised that we have such as them living in the county. Of course having sat on a grand jury for a year dispelled any doubts I had that wasn't the case.
