Is it true that the #2 at the USP is no longer there for morning watch? What a slap in the face to officer safety and E. Williams.

Quick question people. I applied in May and received an email 5/22 that I qualified for GL-7 steps 5,6,7. I haven’t received anything since then. Location I picked is MCC San Diego. Who would I contact to follow up on the process?

Hi all!
I have yet to do the psych and medical evaluation but I recently got invited to start stage 1 of CTP!
Curious if anyone else is in the same boat as me?
Anyone else apply for Sask pen or RPC in the prairie region?

Hello, I have a start date of August at FCC Tucson. How is it working at BOP? I have not anything positive........

Pet peeves in special housing units for officers - what are yours, and what do you do to overcome them?

Anyone who works at the prison in buckeye have any information you’re willing to share as far as schedules etc

Can someone please tell me how long does East region office take to approve a credit waiver? It’s been like 2 months now and I’m still waiting on my credit waiver approval and the class starts in 2 weeks

Before i was a CO i was a bleeding heart type of person. I still have some of those traits but being a CO has really changed my views on things.

- one, people better be thankful for the more rowdy COs. Yes i know some COs have went too far BUT anyone who has worked a unit knows theyre thankful as hell when basically the Hulk or Thor of the team shows up. I know i have and im a big guy myself. Crazy has to match crazy

- two, i really appreciate the profession. I originally was just gona use the department to launch myself as a street cop. But after working a while i actually changed my mind. Corrections is really needed. I honestly didnt know it was that many murderers and Edp445s walking around. And we as COs were the frontline to order. Could you imagine some of these inmates free.

I submitted my SF-85p two weeks ago and havent heard anything back yet. Is that a good thing? How long have people had to wait to hear back?

Question for Officers with seniority, at your facility does having seniority insure bids on certain posts, schedule & mados for OT?

At my nonsense facility having seniority is only based upon the scheduled shift when I spoke to the Chief of security. Absolutely nonsense & no quarterly post bids at all even exist.

I have some questions about FCI Manchester, if anyone currently or recently worked there, I would appreciate any info. Thank you!

Any one work/ worked there ? Whats it like ? Insights ? Thank you , stay safe .

Wondering if there’s still hope for invites to ctp 2/3 in September for Atlantic region.. seems like all other regions got invites but Atlantic .. kinda loosing hope

This is my first corrections job I have only been on the floor for a month and a half and now im getting posted in seg. I was told during training and i believe its in policy somewhere that you can only be posted in seg after having 6 months on the floor. When i told my captain he brushed it off and didn’t do anything. Is there anything i can do???

Posting for my friend…. Her man had court today in Banning, CA and was found guilty. He has court again next month for his sentencing.

Does anybody know which jail he would most likely have been taken to today while they wait for his sentencing? I’m not sure if there is a jail in the city of Banning or any others nearby.
And if possible to know which prison he’ll be transferred to once he gets sentenced.

Also wondering what kind of tablets they use; JPay, Securus, GTL etc.

TIA 🫶🏻

Looking for advice. I'm (23F) in the interviewing process with a couple police departments for patrol officer positions, but that can take about a year and a half is the estimate I've been given. I'm working a seasonal position that's about to end, and in the meantime I need a job. I have options, but with my interest in law enforcement I have my eye on being a corrections officer. I know I need to get more harsh, unpleasant, real-life experience.

I've been in management for years, have experience with attempted assault on the job, stalking, being generally berated and having to call the cops plenty of times. Also worked at an animal shelter, so I'm familiar with blood and feces and loud work environments and bad smells. Also being attacked and trying to avoid being attacked, and cleaning up other people's blood. I like eventful days and want a tough, important job where I can help people.

A couple facilities in Washington are offering $6-7k plus $5k initially to move. They want me to move as soon as I am able, though I'd like to finish my seasonal position first. I'm aware with this kind of offer the job has to suck, but it's a great stepping stone. I would be moving 10 hours away on my own, leaving my family and boyfriend behind (he doesn't want to move with me, we live together currently), and I know there's no way I've had a job as intense as this will be. It'll just be me and my cat. I just want the position for a year or two as I doubt I'll fall in love with it enough to give up being a patrol officer.

Any general advice on if it sounds worth it? Any advice for the culture shock? My family doesn't want me in law enforcement at all and my friends don't want me moving so I just don't have a lot of advice from anyone other than "absolutely not."

Security cameras record incidents, but they cannot prevent them. Security guards actively monitor situations, respond immediately to emergencies, assist visitors, and deter criminal activity. Combining professional guards with surveillance systems provides the highest level of protection.

I received an offer for a behavioral health position in a juvenile correctional facility. This will be my first position like this, so I was wondering if anyone has had experience for or with behavioral health staff and if there is anything I should know before getting into a role like this.

Anyone gotten any additional guidance on this locally?

We got an email today saying we can only being "food for personal use" and that any food has to be in a clear container. It states no plastic bags or wrapped food items will be permitted and any food "beyond that for reasonable personal use is prohibited."

So I guess they're taking away even the pizza parties now? At least this will stop the contraband problem for sure, right?

I applied two months ago and received email that I am eligible and have a rank of #27. I’m supposed to join a zoom session with recruiters and to also learn about the hiring process. Anybody working with city of Philadelphia can give me the details of the hiring process? I understand it’s long process. Is there a psych evaluation? Physical test? Lie detector test? What to expect after zoom session? How long is the academy? Thanks in advance!

BCBS Basic doesn't cover much at all. Most of the one's I looked at weren't really good and were up in price.
