Corrections Officer Baranowski, thank you for all your efforts to keep criminals away from society while they serve their sentences. I know it's a difficult job and women and men like you are heroes for doing it.
I cannot say I take joy in the fact that the scum who killed you first killed the very woman who brought the gun to him, but I cannot lie and say I feel bad either. I do feel somewhat bad that the scum in question took his own life instead of facing the court. Then again, it’s Massachusetts; he may very well have been given a suspended sentence and freed. I guess justice was served in a sad way.
God Bless and may you continue to Rest in Peace, Brother.

Officer Baranowski,
Sir, I would just like to say thank you to you and your fellow C.O. for your service and sacrifice for the citizens of the state of Massachusetts. And to your family and loved ones, I wish to extend my deepest sympathy. There is no job in Law Enforcement tougher than that of a Corrections Officer.
