I’m familiar with a CO and the classes of trainees are getting dramatically smaller. The pay he gets is amazing but few are lining up for the work, so when it comes time to hire, even Prisons looking for good people will strugle to find them, and they’re not all looking for good people. I hear stories of how good COs end up being a real thorn in the side of administration. There are layers and layers of problems going on with prisons, it can be very disheartening.
I can’t believe having the world’s largest prison population is causing so many issues for our government. The issue isn’t prison guards, it’s the locking up of millions of people rather than addressing systemic issues in our society.
