ОтветитьMental health worker here. Your discussion of managing emotions and burnout…spot on. Find little moments to yourself, find effective, ethical ways to vent.
Abso-f}^ing-lutely.
“Everyone will hate you. Even your co workers…” have fun!!
ОтветитьAqui no Brasil hoje somos chamados de policiais penais,vocês ficam reclamando aí nos EUA então imaginem ser um oficial correcional aqui nas cadeias brasileiras cheias de facções em guerra entre eles e contra nós.
ОтветитьI worked corrections for 3 years. On the midnights, I had 188 inmates to myself. This is the tour we did building maintenance, cooked two meals (1400 trays), and got inmates ready for transports. Inmates never bothered me. Staff did. They snitched, undermined others, brought in contraband, and slept with inmates. Cops wrote us parking tickets while we worked. They hated us because so many of us got arrested. I say never take this shit job. Even the public doesn't like you. Just wait for mandatory overtime forced down your throat.
ОтветитьGreat Video!
Ответитьi dont want to do it.. but
100,000 a year sounds good to me.
just right after I graduated from High school, my acquaintance that I knew wanted to pursue and study to become a Correctional Officer. Told me, all you do throughout your shift is sit on your lazy @$$ and get paid. I dunno if that was the case, but we were young then so hopefully now that we've matured, he probably thinks differently of it by now.
Ответить"First day" for me is open to interpretation.
I remember coming in a few times to sign endless paperwork, be interviewed by a panel of staff, go over my background, take an ethics test, etc.
When I was finally hired and getting paid it was three weeks of mostly Death By PowerPoint. A lot of our instructors were random staff members who didn't know they were supposed to be pulled from their real jobs to teach us. They'd show up late, try to figure out how to use the computer, read a PowerPoint, and go. We had a ton of downtime and this was a foreshadowing of our Annual Refresher Training. We eventually had on-the-job training where we spent four hours shadowing senior staff in the prison but it was a bit uneventful.
After our training was complete I was assigned to the visiting room for a day. Senior staff saw an inmate masturbating to his girlfriend so I ended up escorting the girlfriend away from visiting. I came back and my coworker yelled "There's cum all over this place!" We later ran about a quarter to a third mile for a fight in a housing unit that was broken up by the time we got there. So I guess that was my real first day as a CO.
The next day was self-contained breathing apparatus training like firefighters wear. We went into a shack and they filled it with smoke. Honestly, I was scared because I'm a bit claustrophobic. But I got through it.
On the third day, I was assigned to screen incoming staff. Two other duties are to listen to inmate phone calls and relieve an armed patrol to get gasoline. The x-ray machine was down so I couldn't screen anyone, I was too new to have access to the computer program for inmate monitoring, and I couldn't relieve the armed patrol because I wasn't firearms qualified yet. I also didn't know the schedule yet so I had no clue that for six hours no staff would be coming to work so basically I got paid to sit in a room by myself and do nothing. I tried to ask some staff if there was anything else I should do but they told me to stay at my post. At the end of my shift, I saw a staff member who was a lieutenant and told him, and he said I should have notified operations sooner. That's easy to tell a rookie, but I had no idea what a lieutenant was, no idea how to call one, and no idea that I would be waiting all day to end up doing nothing.
A control officer found out my schedule and asked me to switch the next day. Essentially he conned me into doing a split shift so he could do a double and just go home afterwards. I wanted to be a team player but it was a lesson in learning when to do favors and when not to do favors.
On the fourth day, my entire experience consisted of escorting a lady whose boyfriend jerked off in the visiting room, running to a fight that was already broken up, SCBA training, sitting alone in a room for an entire shift doing nothing, and of course three weeks of PowerPoint. So with all that experience of course they felt confident in putting me on a housing unit by myself with about 120 maximum security inmates. No big deal, right? Nervous was an understatement. Shortly after unlocking two inmates threw scalding oil on another inmate, although I did not witness this myself. He ran to me, and the other inmates took turns stabbing him and kicking him in the head with work boots. I radioed for assistance, sprayed everyone with OC, and ended up making the worst debrief video my lieutenant had ever seen since I had no experience with debriefing. I came from a journalism background so I guess I went on and on and on... kind of like this comment.
It was a bit dysfunctional but after proving myself in a fight staff eased up on me a lot. It turned out to be a blessing because I was tested so early and passed so I didn't have to go through as much bullshit as most rookies. I just started my ninth year and honestly, I miss the old days. There was just a different code.
I was a Co for 2 yrs. Day one I was a B officer in a dorm with 50 inmates. A bit scary and intimidating. Nothing bad happened still it can pop off at anytime.After 2 yrs I moved on it's a tough job and it's not for everyone.
ОтветитьYears ago I asked a man who just became a cop for like less then a year. I asked him “Correctional officers are pretty much prison guards huh?” He said “Yes & No”
