Quote HistoryQuoted: Great riot control there, just stick them in the doorway and they are not movable, adipose armor saves all the essential organs from stabbing. The one in the middle looks like he needs to be kept away from the morgue. I don't know, he may be a sumo wrestler. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Some of them would never pass a test in CT to be a correction officer . The pay and benefits must really suck if they have to search for the bottom of the barrel to hire people . Our director recently testified to Congress that we are competing with fast food joints for potential staff. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: started at $12/hour in 2003, $40 now it's the unlimited overtime that lets you pick just how much you want to earn I did a few years as a CO and the OT was paid in comp time. There was a law suit over that after I left and they went to OT. It was a mostly shitty job in county jail, I landed it due to the fact all the previous jailers were fired for introducing contraband. |

Most of the new staff we get are obese but we do have a fair amount of fit younger guys. Lots of prior mil that are usually decent.
The 20+ year staff are generally obese. Doc in my state pays well (topped out officer is 87k base) Benefits package is decent Retirement isn’t as good as it once was but it’s still a pension |

Quote HistoryQuoted: that is true, no offense but don't they have physical standards or will some of them be administrative work and not actually working with inmates? I’d imagine a lot of standards were lowered because of low unemployment. I’ve never met a happy corrections officer. Compound that with plenty of good paying jobs… I am not disregarding their fitness, just realizing that they are in for a hard job. The weight situation won’t help. |

All across the country many prison systems were experiencing high vacancy rates. Basically they will take anyone who does not have a criminal background
We are hiring people we would not have hired 10 years ago just to improve our staffing The crisis is easing in my state but 5 prisons still have vacancy rates in staff of over 40 percent |

Quote HistoryQuoted: 21 years on the job, retiring in June. 58 years old, 6'2" and 195 lbs. The last several training classes have been the worst physical specimens in all my time in this field. Morbid obesity is not uncommon. Worse, none of these 20 somethings have the character to work this job. Last week one of the Lieutenants watched a new officer get shoulder checked by an inmate in the housing unit he was working. The 20 something CO apologized to the inmate. My generation dumps that guy and cuffs him without hesitation, new generation of low t beta cucks apologizes. It's like everything else we see in the world. My generation raised a soft generation, and we're going to have to suffer through them figuring it out before it gets better.  I did that job for a while. It's not an enviable one. I am doing my best not to. I have a small boy now. He has flat out asked me why I'm so hard on him (because he's 'just a kid'), and I told him that my job is not to teach him to be a kid, but to teach him what he needs to be a man. Too many people don't recognize that as a parent's job, or they don't know themselves. |

A couple or three of them are going to have a heart-attack, never make it to the Code Red to back you up.
99.9999% of the time, its your mouth and mind that resolve conflicts, just Horses Asses Carrying Keys.....H.A.C.Ks. But that 00.0001% when the shit goes down, you need people who can fight. My incident, I responded down to our 2nd floor from third because one of our deputies was having trouble with a muslim inmate in 23 hour lock down, over a nickel's worth of peanut butter. When the time came to go into the 2-man cell to forcibly remove the inmate, the floor deputy who owned that ward was near the back of the stack. Me being a bigger dude carrying one of the two Tasers was No Tackle on that cell extraction. We speed crank opened the cell door, fired 2 Tasers at the inmate, human batterying ram, ended up in a heap between the welded iron bunk beds on left and the combination commode/wash basin on the right, me immediately on top the inmate maintaining control of Taser #1 while he continued to resist. Two other deputies tried going overtop me to reach his wrists to cuff him up, blew out the two lowest discs on my spine. Over a nickel's worth of peanut butter. Now I'm the 3/4 Million Dollar Man just in medical expenses and legal stuff, spine ruined for life. |

Prisons need to be more like the 30's and 40's. Where inmates fear the CO's. It's a matter of time before there is a large-scale prison riot, resulting in the murder of male CO's and the gang-rape / torture of female CO's when everyone stands outside next to the TV cameras.
Just like in 3rd world countries, but with better food. |

I wonder if that county requires you do X years as a corrections deputy before you can become a road deputy, or if the fit ones are too young to apply directly for a road deputy position.

If you go to prision you should be locked up on your own, with just a couple hours a day under highly supervised human interaction, then back in the cell. This 'general population' social event has to end. |

It forces you to learn to talk to people. The cops or deputies that I know are all better for it, even though it sucked at the time. |

Now insert that non confrontational introvert dweeb into the extreme violence of security level 3 or higher prison where the new officers are face to face with convicted killers and the most violent humans society has....its not a good scenario....The 2 to 3 days of self defense training recieved during there couple week pre service training at a correction academy prior to them manning a post is dangerous for everyone working there.
