How challenging is the academy?

How's it going now ?

Did u pay for the training?

hello there, could you tell me that what kind of written assessment was? how many quest. and was it difficult.

No problem man. Subscribe and I will continue to put them up. Thanks

Good luck!!

Don't do it if you live in Florida

@@tylerpope7234 why not?

@@Ale_100G the pay starts at 34k, hard to live on. Go to BOP instead.

It’s a very thankless job. Nobody cares about what didn’t happen and that’s your job is to try and make stuff not happen. Short handed so a lot of double shifts not just a few hours over but a whole extra shift back to back. Nobody is nice to you at all. I would talk to numerous people in the profession. Watch their talk with Anthony gangi before you make the decision. You will be a very drained and unappreciated person in the profession and you will miss out on children and family functions. Not trying to scare you away because they need tons of people but I also do t want you to start and then quit and that’s another thing because the officers see that so much they will not give you respect until you earn that

You need to find the prison close to you. Then they set your training up. Sometimes u have to drive for the training but not when you finish

After I got hired by the BOP, they sent me to training 8 months later. All that time I was doing the job.

Not that I could recall.

Some things like defensive tactics. But probation/parole officer academy is different as it's a different job.

Sounds like you were in a peaceful country club jail.

good luck!

@@bradscrazylife4269 thank you I love your videos I watched all of them very educational!

@@justinnewton1363 did u get hired

The test was Hard for me. You need to Memorize everything backwards and forwards. Not any math from what I remember

@@bradscrazylife4269 thank you. Got an online exam this coming friday

Don't work for state

@@bandit1001 why don’t work state

Brad569e@gmail.com. Email anytime bud

All three. We also even have a work camp.

I had a General. Your fine

Thinking about becoming one too but I had an oth

As long as you have not been dishonorably discharged you should be ok🙏🏽

I believe you can become C.O with a misdemeanor.

Honestly this is how it should work but as far as I’ve heard if you’ve been in jail before convicted of anything no, but I’m assuming you can ask the prison you’re looking to apply to this question for their personal opinion

It was a 7 outta 10. I made a 85. They reword everything to mess you up.

I'm in nj how was it

Long as you can walk/run a mile and a half in 18 mins I think the time was you're good dude. I'm 6'3 320 and I did fine.

It can be a lot of steps, depending where you work. The feds are always hiring.

Sheriff Dept

Thankyou

Same I'm taking a trade

That’s not your only avenue. My dad was a sheriff. Go to the police academy.

Brad’s Crazy LIFE I can’t get into the police academy . I can never make it that far in any process . It seems like cool county corrections is the only place that’s given me a fair shake

You can try the feds. Their pay can be much better than small town sheriff’s departments.

I really don’t get your ?. You never know when you get to go to the academy. Sometimes you go right away. Sometimes it’s like me and waited 5 months. You can call the recruiter in the prison you wish to work and maybe they would know. But there not gona be Pacific because things might change. It’s the government so they do things when they want them. Hope this helps!

@@bradscrazylife4269 Sorry. My question is what time is the Academy starts from what time to the time ends

Mine was 6am to 5pm with a Hour lunch break

High school diploma is not required for BOP

Not in Florida! But each states different.

They don’t but certain law enforcement agencies in the state of Florida do polygraphs or voice analysis test.

They need to hand out apps in prisoner packets. Because of how short handed they are

Admitting use usually won't keep you from getting hired, it's probably a case by case basis. As long as you don't have any charges and pass the drug test you should be fine.

Sorry to hear that. Go talk to the captain on duty and get moved.

@@bradscrazylife4269 Somehow all the New Corrections get thrown into the worst pods.

Sometimes I think they do this to see if you will break.

It's like a job interview of which I participated in last September but it was a phone call due to Covid. The test are in the academy. I work for the State of Texas.

This was in FL

Every prison has a Recruiter. Call them and see what you need to do. Usually it’s online but in my case I had a paper forms. It can take awhile so brave. Took me 6-7 months. Hope this helps.

I know that you wrote this a month ago, but you said you were in Wisconsin. Just like here in Florida, I'm assuming Wisconsin has county jails and state prisons. If you go to the following site, you may be able to find some information that you can use: doc.wi.gov/Pages/Careers/SecurityCareers.aspx

I got a 85 so I think a 81 is good. Hell 70 is passing

@@bradscrazylife4269 True that man but I really want them to call me up so I can start the process and start the training as soon as possible because I know they're going to hire military before anything else and people who are in the 90s so I hope 81 is still good

When I got called in for the second interview

Nope. Just pass the state exam and go threw c.o school. I have videos on it. Thanks

Nope they take the dumbest most insecure kids they can find

@@bradscrazylife4269 how long is co school

No. Most prisons are understaffed. So your chances are good.

Brad’s Crazy LIFE I hope 🤞 that applies to AZ corrections because they are doing my background right now

You’ll get it have faith.

It should, but no.

@@MW-lq8hr it did

Taylor County Correctional

Brad’s Crazy LIFE oh. I’m at Martin

I'd like to see Ex con interview a CO.

All states prisons and jails will be different depending on who runs it.

Only tell them what they can prove.!!!

Ok because I’m trying to be a correction officer and the last time I smoked was 3 months ago hopefully I don’t get disqualified 🤞🏼

Ani Rodriguez hey did u go thru with the process??? I’ve smoked/been around weed the past couple years and I’m really lookin into this career! Lmk any info please! I’m in Cali

@@anirodriguez7131I’m sure you were Dq

No, not usually.

Do the time. And who cares what other people think. Your life your choices. Worst case you find out it’s not for you and move on. But at least try it. Be safe. Over n Out

@@bradscrazylife4269 I'm in the corrections academy right now and there are more females in my class than males.

Should tell you something. Get ready for a heavy workload unless it’s a women’s prison. If not your screwed

Because Men do most of the work! Women can’t do everything a man can. By law men have to do every search. Everything in confinement. And I could rant for hours about special treatment but I’ll shut up.

When I need to persuade some one i seduce them jk lol

Yes I have many videos on that.

No you can’t bring your phone with you while at work. You have to leave your cell phone in your car.

No just urine. Should be fine

Can’t be Scared. Just gotta have eyes in the back of your head

Don't. I was a CO for 6 years. It is the most stressful job I ever experienced and I did 3 tours in Iraq and 1 in Afghanistan. The inmates aren't even the problem. It's being short staffed all the time cause people don't show up and/or quit. Not all, but in my experience Co workers were some of the biggest back stabbing pricks you could imagine. Also, if you do everything by the book you will not make it. The book is normally written by someone who never was a Corrections Officer to begin with.

14.50 but they have gotten a raise since I left

@@bradscrazylife4269 what is the top hourly pay?

I’m over 30 an hour

Its almost 18 starting out then 22 after training in Pennsylvania

60k starting in California for Sonoma county

You will be fine.

What happened

Yeah did ya pass? I know a girl that failed 2 times. Then went into a study Coma and passed it the third time.

I passed the state exam with a 85. It was one of the hardest test I’ve ever took.

How did you do?

You got it! I’m glad I’m out

I worked in FLORIDA

Basically welfare...stolen tax payer money🤨

In Florida your allowed to have a Beard
