Up and running this morning. Trying to get out of here on time today to climb into a deer stand on this cold day.

To the OP.....the career is what you make it. If I had to start over I don't know that I would choose it. It takes some getting used to. I am in to deep now and they couldn't run me off with a ****ty sock. When he initially starts they will throw him on any shift they want and his days off will suck for a long time. There is a chance to promote and a chance to transfer to other institutions throughout the US. Depends on how mobile he is.

Thanks for all the info. Is there any school requirements other that HS diploma for the state and federal jobs?

I'm going to send him a link to this thread so he can read it.

Meaning no disrespect but there is a big difference between what you do as opposed to to a CO working seg. There are a lot of different positions available in the prison system but starting out in one of them is not easy. Almost any job you find in the freeworld is available in the prison system. Any thing from food service to accounting can be had if you are qualified and know the right people. Heavy on know the right people.

I know that, the man son has to get hired first and I'm here to help!!!

[Wolfpack0311]

But people on here were already starting to make it a horror story, so if you are no help to this man and his son move on!!

He has no experience in this field.

Is it hard to work to get hired on doing something other than a CO?

[Wolfpack0311]

Pretty much what the state requires high school diploma and anyone can get hired for the state, Now fed they prefer some kind of experience law enforcement , college schooling background , The biggest thing us getting his foot in the door he'll do his time as a co cause we are based of seniority and we start at the bottom like alot of us have, and once he does his time and has other backgrounds that can help him get other jobs within the bureau system

Maintenance , teacher, food service , receiving, recreation , counselor, case manager ( degree required)
