LARGO – The Pinellas County Jail is home to an average of 3,300 prisoners.
On the day this story was written there were exactly 3,350 men and women behind bars on charges ranging from open container violations to murder.
Incarceration begins in the intake center where arrestees are brought in and processed.
Cpl. Christie Grissinger does not fit the mold of the typical prison guard of movies and television.
She is tall, slim, blonde, attractive and has been dealing with prisoners for about 10 years. For awhile she was a drill instructor in the sheriff’s boot camp for boys ages 14 to 18.
