Prior to his many years spent in the California Department
of Prisons as a Corrections Officer, Hector Bravo served as a US Army Iraq War
Infantry Combat Veteran who served in Operation Iraqi Freedom II in 2004.
During his time in the US Army, he conducted combat operations consisting of
raids, capturing high-value targets, and direct contact with enemy forces.
In 2006 Hector Bravo joined the California Department of
Corrections serving in both maximum and medium security institutions. During
his service as a Correctional Officer, he experienced numerous incidents
ranging from riots, assaults on staff, and murders. Throughout his career, he
has been involved in over 500 incidents applying many force options to quell
the violence. In 2014 he was promoted to Correctional Sergeant, and in 2017
promoted to the rank of Correctional Lieutenant. He has served on the Tactical
Response Team as a certified Tactical Operator and Hostage Negotiator. He would
later become the Tactical Commander.
While in the California Corrections system he saw shocking prison
administration corruption; how drugs are smuggled into prisons, how critical
incidents go down in the prison populations; how sex offenders are handled at
the hands of other convicts; witnessed the Fresno California Bulldogs from the
streets to jail and saw them go to war in prison; learned how gangs function
and experienced many over the top, jaw dropping events and conditions including
the Immoral, Dangerous’ California State Prison Trans Policies that led to his
resignation.
