I’ve worked corrections too I can say that the inmates are not that bad is the workers who need to watch over they will snitched and try to set you up to get you fired.

Im sure they loved seeing you come in to work!!!❤

I started the academy on my birthday January 6,1986. I was only 22 as well.

The best thing I love about the agency is the benefits. The one thing I dislike is that you can not ask certain questions because they feel like you up to something. Another thing I dislike is that if you talk to the same inmate constantly then you try to establish a relationship.

Im sure they loved seeing you come in to work.❤

Im working at a state prison as a contractor do i want be around the prisoners but what will i do will i eork in cubicle are housing

Loved the insite!!!! How was the 6week training??

Hey Love this video definitely gave me some insight on what I am about to get myself into in Huntsville Texas as well. I just relocated to Texas from Chicago and I am a barber. I love male dominated jobs and environments. I guess my main fear is the time because I am a mom and I dont have any family here. The salary has increased though, its about $3500 once a month for fulltime, and about $1700 part time. Im anxious about being pepper sprayed as well. You made some excellent points on benefits though, I think Im going to stick it out, save for a home and use those benefits endlessly lol and get the hell on. I can imagine it being draining mentally, physically, and emotionally.

I just got done with the hiring event I got the 5k bonus also I'm waiting to go to the academy in Tucson !

I was in tdcj to I just got out in Aug u was working in g4 or 95?

Enjoyed watching your video. Is the OT still like that today? Also, I didn’t even have to take a test. Just online application. Then they offered me a Academy date.

CO here from Georgia Department of Corrections and Yeahh that’s why I don’t do night shift they count too much💯🤣 and we don’t even get a break 12 hours on a dorm until it’s time for you to go

I live in the UK but I hear the exact same thing over and over, that they treat the correction officers like they're serving time too and those in higher positions are abusing their power, and it is your colleagues to look out for not the inmates. Why doesn't this industry learn? This is why they can't get officers to stay. 30 minute break for a high stress, high threat level job is an absolute joke yet they expect you to be assertive and on top of your game at all times.

I work corrections here in Florida and it can be overwhelming

Did you work any shifts in the death row building or just ad seg?

I have been a co for tdcj and it was dreary there. It was depressing. I saw an old man cut both sides of his neck with a little piece of razor. It wasn’t looking like he cut himself bad. But it was bc he didn’t want anyone to shake his cell down.

Hello is the salary based on an eight hours a day forty hours a week and everything else overtime OR is the salary includes overtime?

Good run down on the details

Hello there! I really enjoyed this video. My name is Sheryl but most just call me Trouble and I am currently a correctional officer myself. I was like you. I was very small and didn't know if I could do it, but like you know, its not the size of the dog that matters! I figured I'd share a technique that I still use and would love your thoughts on it. Basically I wanted to come up with a quick way to grab the inmates attention. So what I do is I shout TROUBLE! and when I do, the inmates know they have to drop what they are doing, line up and wait further instructions. The inmates picked up on this really quick. I only had to explain it like once and they respond to it very well. I even did what I like to call "trouble drills" with them to practice. This has helped with count times, searches, when I need to cuff a bunch up etc. I chose the word 'trouble' cause its an easy identifiable word. Plus if I'm shouting it, that means trouble is happening or coming or you(the inmates) are about to be in trouble. Other officers started doing this too which was cool to see. This is how I got the nickname Officer Trouble from both inmates and officers. As a former officer yourself, I'd love to hear your thoughts on this. And would love to know if this is something you would have tried had you still been an officer. Thanks for reading and I hope you don't mind the long comment :)

Great video thanks for the content

3600/month. 3000/ month in ot After 10 years State pays 1/2 of your insurance for life; 100% after 20

I'm doing an interview for a supermax men's prison, in Australia, but man, the anxiety is there.

Whewww I been thinking about going back to Corrections its been 5 years i was 21 or 22🤣🤣🤣💀💀💀 i was at a level 5 mental health prison but im going to try the Transitional Center if i finish the application Thanks for the video Corrections is not for the weak🥳

Thanks for explaining the OT

Hey i got a interview next week I jus want to know if the men have to clean shave? ....I have my beard right and if i gotta shave it F that job

please tell me what written test you took? what was the task?

How to know if u passed the psychological test for CO

Did you get paid for training from the academy

See that'd always be a problem cuz I already have plenty of friends on several different units- male & female. Cant think of a time I havnt had a friend, X, etc locked up on some unit. And that "they're criminals" bs yeah most of the staff Ive ever known are too they just havnt been caught & all inmates arent "criminals" they just normal ppl who got caught doing something. There is a difference. Knew 2 COs back when I was still in HS in the 90s that both sold weed & everybody I know that works there now has an old HS friend locked up on some unit and/or at least one relative. And anywhere Ive ever worked its been bi-monthly pay except when I worked for a agency then it was weekly but one of them didnt take out taxes which bit my ass when tax time rolled around- and I was getting those once a week plus bi-weekly pay at my full-time job so that was normally around 5-6 checks a month

What was the drug test process like? Was it urine, blood, hair, or saliva

Omg 5k bonus 😹 made me laugh!

Try working at Rikers in NYC....!

I applied for part time will I receive the same salary as full time ?

How much was the pay?

Going for Angola

How much is the check like every month?

Where are you working now?

Very interesting video

Also how was the training academy?

Wait , you work in dayton??

Omg is what I use to say when I was in prison, it was sickening being in there . I knew that people had to hate working in a prison , fucking depressing ass shit

Military was exempt?!? They usually do anything for an ex grunt/sailor/jarhead.

How was the polygraph test?

You have my respect. I have to say something about those eyelashes. They look like a huge spider is glued to your eye lids. Seriously you are a beautiful woman. You don't need to go to this extreme with your lashes.

Try not to cuss within the 1st 2 mins of your Videos, it helps with the $‼️

Damn that's why the mf's pay so good 12 hour shifts 30 minute lunch. Sounds like the hospital

Drove an 1 1/2

I feel like i dont want to work in a prison

The one thing you can say about your job was. All the people who were executed and were all well done and fully cooked. Lol just joking

Haha I'm saying the same thing like I'm 5'1 I feel like there gonna be like wait till the little one comes to get you then shank her she will be easy to take down. My only fear. But I need to make more too

Did U work a max unit?

Eeww I forgot about the killin themselves on us. That was awful. Made me so mad. And the cell warriors too.

I already knew about how that job would be. I had wanted to work for the Sheriff department. When they told me that I would spend first 2 years in the jail I immediately backed out of it. Sorry the job didn’t work out for you.

You're a little more professional than ShieTalli..lol!

breakfast at 3am ?! tf 🤨 that’s when you sleeping good …

If I read that overtime sheet correctly they wanted you to work 4 regular days then 3 OT days in a row?!! F#*k that. I worked 5 years in another states corrections department and never seen such bs.
