My work in parole was in a major city for the most part and was quite rewarding. I invite other police, probation, parole and jail officers, as well as those of you looking at corrections as a career to contact me. I was a reserve police officer for a small town police department prior to my adventures in corrections. I enjoy tactical shot gun and fishing.

Job security is for sure.
You will work various shifts some times long hours. You may walk the yard with some of the most demented human beings alive, maybe maximum, medimum or just minimum security inmates. You can be assigned to all most any post and any shift, having weekends or holidays off is far and few between. You might be a officer working as a dispatcher, visitation officer, work crew supervisor, mailman, tower officer, transportation unit, chain gang, medical, yard officer, or work in a control room, and duties far to many to list. Correctional officers have many jobs to preform and many hats to wear.
