Reflections for Correctional Officer Frederick Gayle Hyatt
GOD BLESS THE MEN AND WOMEN THAT ENTER INTO THE CAGES WITH THE BEAST'S OF SOCIETY. MANY PEOPLE WHO WORK IN LAW ENFORCEMENT WOULD NOT DREAM ABOUT BEING LOCKED INTO THE SAME AREA WITH THE WORST OUR SOCIETY HAS TO OFFER. I DID MY 5 YEARS AT A COUNTY JAIL SUPERVISING INMATES. IT IS A STESSFUL JOB. GOD BLESS THE MEN AND WOMEN OF THIS PROFESSION. GOD KEEP A HEALING HAND ON THIS FALLEN SON'S FAMILY. MY THERE BE NO MERCY ON THESE COWARDS THAT CARRIED OUT THIS TRAGIC EVENT. R.I.P.

My wife Aleidy and myself extend our condolences to the family, friends and coworkers of Off. Hyatt. May G-d grant him eternal rest and consolation to the survivors. This is yet but another perfect example why the best way to rehabilitate a murderer is the death penalty, not incarceration. Let's hope that the full weight of the law in the State of Tennessee is applied to the animal who took this brother's life and, that when the time comes for him to meet his destiny, there be words of praise and rememberance for the victim officer, not words of sorry and pity for this animal.

Thank you for doing the job that so few would choose to do, and protecting us from the predators of society. God bless Officer Hyatt's family, friends, and fellow officers.
I hope that these prisoners are all executed so that they can no longer spend the rest of their lives murdering other inmates in prison, and threatening the lives of officers without any real consequences. Rest in peace, hero, you will live on throughout the history of law enforcement.

God bless this warrior. He gave his life to keep those who cast evil. May God hold those that you once held. Thank you for your service as you will not be forgotten.
