Also, do you prefer working 4- 12 hour shifts or 5- 8:45 shifts. That is the TX-DCJ’s current shift schedule and I would like to know what you all think about your shifts.

Topic: The Club House / New Career

Hello All,

I am a new employee with The Texas Department of Criminal Justice, or DOC. I am curious to know what experiences you had when you were out of your academy. I have volunteered at jails before but this is my first time going into a prison enviornment.

I have read some great posts on other discussion boards from a lot of you but I would love to learn more about what you did to get through some very tough days in the beginning of your careers.

Thank you for reading this and I look forward to hearing from you.

Regards, Daniel
