Topic: The Club House / Specific Interview Questions

As a former Asst Warden for CCA, and having worked at 5 of thier facilities, I can say a couple things on the process. First, are you applying at one of the facilities that is contracted with the “BOP”, Bureau of Prisons?. If so, yes your past will come up and bite you on your backside, a complete background check will be done, to include, health, criminal, credit. The writer above stated that medical and health concerns are “Off limits” during the interview, yes that is correct, but be advised during the the medical screening, you will be asked that question, which by HIPPA they can, and if you have ever had a problem with it, be honest, don’t lie, on a Fed background check it will come out in the wash. Second, I wish you luck in your endeavors, I have seen staff come and go for several reasons, alot due to misconduct, but the majority because, " It just wasn’t for them" and it is not for everyone, very stressful environment…..Good Luck!!!!!!
