Topic: The Club House / Fitter criminals than officers?

I started my career in Corrections this week (my trainee status will be active for one year) and we went to the local community college for “temporary certification” until we are able to go off for a month and complete the academy training [which can take more than six months to get to]. Next to our class was the BLET cadets and if you stood out there next to us on break time and couldn’t see a difference, then my friend you are blind. Over half of us are outta shape and either overweight [I am overweight but I have been working on it for seven months and have lost quite a bit of weight and have alot more to go] or obese and I was wondering what happens if the fitter criminals decides to take us on? In my state, correctional officer jobs are hard to fill and the prisons have been taking whoever is willing to do the job and with prison positions notoriously short [i know my prison is 100+ C/Os short] and fitness on the back burner, what will happen to outta shape officers, when the crap hits the fan?
