Welcome to the zoo everyone! This is a fairly inactive site, so a lot of the “regulars” don’t check in daily. And a lot of people make a few posts and are never heard from again.

Hey Swartz, I googled WPFG and came up with World Police and Fire Games. That’s a new one on me, but it looks like a major event.

I also found a 2008 news release about the Federal Aboriginal Healing Village, and that certainly does look like a unique concept.

There’s a lot here that I’ve never heard of. Thanks for helping bring me into the 21st century……. :)

Hello,
I’m an FNG working at the penn in Santa Fe, NM. I’m an NP working the medical side. I hold the distinction of being the first provider to write an inmate up. I’m not one of those squishy feel good NP’s. I started life blue, then got into the medical side. I have only been at it about three months but I really like it. It is frustrating, I did not know I was going to be a pain specialist, I’m still not.

Beautiful Bucks County Pa., I did 2 1/2 years and just got out, it wa not for me :0(

HMP Dartmoor,England.19 years in and counting.Some good days,some not so good all in all still like the job though.

I am in Canon City, Colorado. Been in corrections for over 11 years. Worked in the Ad Seg facility, External Security (Perimeter Patrol or how to make circles in the dirt and get paid for it), and currently work at a medium custody facility….
