Topic: The Club House / Civilian Dating A CO

Hello, I’m new to this forum and the culture of corrections as a whole.

I have a friend who is a CO and we are romantically involved. While it is early in the relationship, I would like to get advice on what to expect with dating a corrections officer. What can I do to be supportive of him considering his profession? I know that his work schedule is very unpredictable (partially because he is new, partially because of the officer storage) and I also know that prison is in an extremely high stress environment.

Any advice, any tips or thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
