Topic: A Broader View / Perception of Correctional staff

Can’t speak for other states, but in North Carolina state prison, the only requirement to be a correctional officer is a high school diploma or GED. Unfortunately, lots of scumbags meet this criteria.

And yes, if you must know, I just did 27 months in state prison. Trust me, I know what you guys do for a living. Do you now look at me as less of a human being? Typical.

Topic: A Broader View / Perception of Correctional staff

What exactly is your complaint? CO’s are dumb, lazy, ignorant and apathetic – that’s why you’re a CO and not a doctor or an engineer. What do you want, an award for counting inmates and sitting around eating junk food? You’re not doing anything to help society – actually, people like you only compound problems in our society by causing inmates to become even more angry and dysfunctional than when they went in, and eventually these people get released back into society with your precious women and children.

The reality of correctional officers is actually worse than how they’re portrayed in TVs and movies, so don’t worry. If people actually knew what their tax money was being used for, you would have already lost your job.
