Not a psychologist, but I was a deputy in training with another guy when I was a corrections officer in county jail. We both got assigned to the psych ward and got trained at the same time. One inmate was absolutely crazy. He looked like a smaller version of Charles Manson and was never allowed out of his cell unsupervised because he would instantly attack inmates and corrections officers. I was doing my count with my fellow officer when he stopped both of us and asked if my partner wanted to die. My partner said “no” Then the inmate steps up to the glass and says “Its my birthday and the president is gonna help me kill you. Don’t come near me again” After that we continued our count and thought nothing of it. As the night continues we have another count and the inmate first see me again and asks if I have his birthday present. I say no and then my partner walks by “WHAT THE F@#K!!!” the inmate screams and starts kicking and punching the metal door. I have never been more scared. This was a 6 inch steel door with shatter proof glass and this guy was one hip turn away from knocking this thing down. You could almost see the door bend off the hinges with each punch. Guy was maybe 5’3-5’5 and rail thin but was moving this door as if he was the hulk. My partner went to get more officers and once he leaves the inmate’s view, he stops immediately. looks at me, gets a blanket and goes to sleep. Fell right asleep with bloody hands from punching the steel door and was triggered only when he saw my partner. Funny thing was, that was our first night and that officer had never interacted with him before. How fast that went from zero to Mr Hyde was insane.

Then the guy that would stick pens up his pee hole. That was intresting.
