Complacency Kills: The Silent Threat to Correctional Officer Safety
By Carey Randall
Length2h 44m
About this audiobook
The world of correctional work is intense, disciplined, and often unseen by the public. Behind prison walls, officers operate in an environment where a single moment of inattention can cost lives. It’s not always the explosive riots or violent outbursts that pose the greatest threat—more often, it’s the quiet drift into routine, the false sense of safety, and the moment an officer thinks, “It won’t happen here.”
That moment is when complacency strikes.
In Complacency Kills, career correctional officer Carey Randall exposes this invisible threat with clarity and urgency. Drawing from over 15 years of boots-on-the-ground experience in high-security housing units, death row, transport teams, and correctional hospitals, Randall explains how complacency takes root in the smallest oversights and grows into a deadly risk.
Complacency Kills is a must-read guide that will challenge your habits, sharpen focus, and remind you that in this line of work, staying alive depends on staying alert.
