OT: California Prison Academy: Better Than a Harvard Degree

[TemekuT]

True story – 12 years ago a CPA friend related to me that his college educated brother quit his private industry job to go to work as a prison guard.

1. He got in for the interview because his brother-in-law worked for the prison system, and he was given preference in the initial interview process.

2. He wanted the job because the overtime and perks were so great that he made substantially more than what he made in private industry.

The obvious answer to this problem is to legalize drugs. Free convicted druggies and lay off 90% of the prison guards.

That’ll never work because unemployment will increase too much. Where are all of those freed prisoners going to find jobs? We outsourced all that we could, and we import low-cost labor from south of the border for everything else. To make matters worse those freed prisoners will have to compete with the laid-off guards for jobs.

In the future everyone will be a guard or a prisoner. Many will hold both positions at one point or another in their lives.

You can never legalize drugs anyway because there is too much money in it.

Most of CA prisons are in rural areas without the Santa Monica RE prices. Among the biggest lobby in CA is guards union.

Texas prisons have worst salaries, high turnover but don’t have riots daily. There may be a middle ground here.

This is from 2009, so expect LOWER benefits today.
“Texas prison guards start at about $26,000 a year. After eight years, the salary tops out at about $34,600. Even with the pay raises, Texas still ranks low nationally in correctional officer pay. Last year, it ranked 13th among 16 southern states, according to prison officials.”

With all tax cuts from Gov Perry, there are bigger deficits so they are proposing more cuts:

Charge correctional officers when they eat more than two meals per shift in the prison chow hall.
“Texas prison system budget cuts stir up concerns”
