Working in a prison attracts folks in rural small towns where BOP salaries outstrip the competition.
It would be a horrible place to work.
The Cal system is a miserable place to work, with a few exceptions.
“It would be a horrible place to work.”
That’s what I thought. A few months ago, I toured a Federal Detention Center facility in Miami, in hopes of getting a job. I was told (by the Department of Immigration)that the prisoners (all illegals) were mostly folks that had been picked up for being in the country illegally. In actuality, most were child-molesters, murderers, utter scum of the earth. The guards who were supposed to protect us, while mostly female and nice to look at, were small and petite.
I thought: no way in hell am I working in this dump.
