I am a matron, I ride with the officers when they have a female prisoner to transport. I work a lot on computers, faxes and a nation wide teletype. Mrs. King's History and Miss Heiman's English class. I miss the games and the lunch meetings out in the smoking area. First off I would tell them that they can do anything they set their minds to.
Nothing is to far out of their reach if they want it bad enough.
Don't ever let any one tell you that you're not good enough or smart enough to do anything. Well there are many, but I now fix my hair daily and wear makeup daily. Working for a Sheriff's Department, and raising my daughter. That would have to be to gain as much knowledge about my job as I can and do the best job that I know how. It is right on a river, which makes fishing easy.
