Any Correctional Officers on NT???

[3stheluckynumbe]

I'm hearing the same about the jail in this area. I literally applied a day ago and got a call today. Prisons in general are looking for people I believe.

 

[shotsrangout]

My sister with a high school diploma only work as correction officer in a jail. She started ou t $15 making a little over $19 now

If you want a job there pm me they are hiring like Crazy as usually, they start at $16 now. Easy work she just babysits

I thought CO's made bank.. I know in NYC they almost pushin 6 digits over here

Reading about the job, Idk how I'd feel about having feces and other bodily fluids thrown in my face. But I guess it comes with the job. I also read it's a really hard adjustment going from work to home.

I'm always looking for a new challenge, and this definitely is going to be a challenge.

To the folks who have provided insight and suggestions, I appreciate it.

Pray for me.

Used to be a CO for Nevada State Prison and County Jail...

Better use your CIT skills and learn to pick your battles. You WILL be tested out there on the decks/yard.

Probably best time of my life though, loved getting into fights, slamming down inmates left and right.

You can also test for SERT and do room clearing, extractions, shakedowns... ect. Real fun!

Goodluck! You'll love it.

Per hour, no. But they get all the ot they can handle so it balances out in a sense

**** load of overtime too! Couple years ago, I caked in over $105,000/year including overtime and holiday pay.

My girl's cousin is a CO here in CA.

He seems to like his job, and easily makes like 80k. He be doing 16 hour shifts sometimes though.

 

[thenewjs23]

I would only be a CO for Club FED.

 

[chichiloves5s]

Good luck, op!

Saguaro Correctional Center. Only thing I know of is that they're contacted with HPD.

And that wouldn't be a surprise to me, usually private facilities usually always pay more.

 

[moe0]

I wouldn't recommend

 

[acemaster193]

Coincidentally I received my NYPD CO scores in the mail today. I really can't see myself doing that type of work, I'd rather be a PO.

Good luck OP. Def not an easy job.

My aunt is a CO well was, she's a Captain now. When she just started out she told me this story about a woman she knew who got recognized outside her CO uni. by a released inmate and he slashed her face.

After that I wasn't about the CO life

Yup... in my opinion, being a CO is mentally tougher than being a PO.

I used to run into dudes out in the streets/gym/store. Some of them just went about their business, some approached me to tell me how their doing.

And some.....

Spoiler: Warning: Spoiler!

Well... i'm just glad I carry off duty, just in case.

A close friend of mine just finished his 5th year being a CO at rikers and he loves it. Making 90k+ now too. Biggest change that I saw happen was when we go out he grills everyone, almost got into a couple of fights due to that. I asked him why he does that and he said it became second nature because they are told not to look away from prisoners or look scared while they working. Worst and scary part he said is crossing paths with the inmates when they get out, told me he was shook a couple of times.

 

[putting in work]

Don't know if every jail is like that but a couple of friends who were locked up in Rikers said CO's made bank outside their pay too.

I remember sending $25 in a greeting card to an address and that would get my locked up friends a pack of Newport 100's and a book of matches and he said you could get almost anything you wanted in their drug wise.

Also, there a many CO's that are former escorts, strippers and the likes that work that job because they're not allowed to discriminate from someone's past so one friend that just came out from serving 15 years in Sing Sing in upstate NY told me, forgot which jail he was in, that some of the CO's was even selling P.

 

[yeah]

Oh yeah. BGF was in the prisons heavy up in Baltimore

Drugs, phones, sex... Whatever you need. They're STILL sentencing people and its been years since it came to light.

I got a lady friend that is a CO. Your basically a baby sitter. They have different level prisons, based on security and type of prisoners in the facility. Then inside the prison they have different categories of felons.

You got the booty warriors at 1 level

You got the sick inmates

You got the trouble makers in their own block.

You got the house ****** in another block (the workers and "good" behavior inmates)

Based on your location and your assigned duty. Note than likely you'll work in every dorm at some point.



Basically the only difference from you and the prisoners is that you get to go home at the end of the day.

It becomes part of your life.

 

[yeah]

You got the house ****** in another block (the workers and "good" behavior inmates)

So, wanting to get out early on good behavior and trying to aspire for better things = house *****?

Trying to turn the negative of being in prison to a positive by learning a trade and earning a wage = house *****?

You NT tough guys, I swear.

 

[treystylezpopz]

Yeah right just like how they used to give back to the community before they got caught.

There's no amount money I'd take to be in prison for 45-60hrs a week for years.

 

[Kaleo15]

There's no amount money I'd take to be in prison for 45-60hrs a week for years.

Which is one of the reasons I left.

I had to think of my health, the future, opportunities... Ect.

I'm still young so I was always up for the challenge. But thinking 10, 15, 20 years down the line.

You gotta ask yourself, how long can you keep fighting? How long can you keep doing this, constantly having people testing you, calling you out, disrespecting you.

The job can be fun, scary, and flat out unpredictable. Lke someone else said, you will see things you can't see anywhere else. 

It is IMPOSSIBLE to leave you work, at work. 

Being mandated and having to work 16 hours shifts can suck. 

The key to the job is having good interpersonal skills. If you treat people like they are human while maintaining control and the inmates respect, the job isn't half bad. 

 

[sooperhooper]

for some reason, i love reading through threads about prison; it's like a real life underworld.

there was a thread about 4 years ago where someone posted an article that was written by a guy that did a 2 year bid and he gave a detailed account of his experience. To this day it's one of the best threads i've ever seen. if anyone is interested, pm me and i'll shoot you the link.

i already know i'm not about that co life. i don't handle constant disrespect well.
