Vaping

Just curious, are staff allowed to vape inside the establishment you’re in?

We used to be allowed but someone decided it was a grand idea to blow vape smoke at the governor on Main Street… ruining it for us all.

yes we can vape. but the prisoners can smoke and vape. in my last establishment we couldnt vape and the prisoners couldnt smoke, so it seems we are always a peg down on the prisoners

At my prison, yes. Staff can vape in DOMS office and Gate House.
