Saved inmates and youth From death

I had an inmate with really low blood sugar and started to seize with quick thinking i called for back up and grabbed the inmates soda opened it up and slowly had him drink the soda as best as the inmate could. 


A young youth tied a knot around her neck in the shower and another youth noticed what was happening in the shower, the youth then screamed for my help to help that youth in the shower and since the youth had a knot around her neck I had every right to go in and cut off that knot off her neck. I then called for back up on the youth she was purple and non responsive so i started giving her chest compressions by the time i got to twenty compressions the youth woke up and started coughing water up, then rolled the youth on her side so she wouldn't choke on the water that she was coughing up.
