OT: California Prison Academy: Better Than a Harvard Degree

[UCGal]

pabloesqobar –
Perhaps CA prisons are different. But what you describe is NOT what happens in the prison my family member worked in.

And he quit 2 years from his pension because of the stress… and basically had a nervous breakdown. He’s working at a private prison now… but it’s not the cushy job you describe. At least not in AZ where he works.

I’ve had long talks with him when he was working with the state, when he was trying to figure out his next step (mid breakdown) and saw him recently.

As mentioned – the turnover is high. And part of the reason for that is that dealing with inmates on a day in day out basis is stressful. You can describe it as sitting behind a computer all day – but that’s not the description I got from my family member.

Your last post the biggest load of nonsensical misogynistic BS hogwash I’ve read on this board in a long while. It’s clear that you have never visited a state prison and are clueless as to the typical duties of a worker there.

And even composed and delivered before the conclusion of your “busy” (lol) business day ;=]

Why don’t you go back to your office and see if you can drum up some more “billable hours/minutes?” Or get those sanction checks written and sent off for the all that stuff you let slide while you’ve been surfing with all of us lowly Piggs on the net??[/quote]

Holy shit. I’m pretty sure I was addressing CAR, not you. What part of my post leads you to conclude that I hate women as a gender? I frickin’ love women. Had lunch with one today. We really enjoyed ourselves.

And, if you could point me to where I claim to be constantly busy at 4pm on Wednesdays, I’d like to see it. My time is my own. I’ll probably never make the dough a partner of a firm does (on a continual basis), but I get by, and I work a hell of a lot less. Not sure what that has to do with the topic at hand.

I’ve never been sanctioned in my entire career. Plenty of time left, tho – it could happen but I doubt it. Again, not sure what that has to do with the topic at hand.

Many people fail pre-employment psych exams. My wife (at the time) was worried about it when she was in the hiring process to join the SDPD. She made it thru fine, but many didn’t. There’s a good reason for that.

Perhaps CA prisons are different. But what you describe is NOT what happens in the prison my family member worked in.

And he quit 2 years from his pension because of the stress… and basically had a nervous breakdown. He’s working at a private prison now… but it’s not the cushy job you describe. At least not in AZ where he works.

I’ve had long talks with him when he was working with the state, when he was trying to figure out his next step (mid breakdown) and saw him recently.

As mentioned – the turnover is high. And part of the reason for that is that dealing with inmates on a day in day out basis is stressful. You can describe it as sitting behind a computer all day – but that’s not the description I got from my family member.[/quote]

We’ve each had different experiences. Mine are from here in CA. My description is not from behind a computer. I’ve hung out with them. Spent weekends with them at the river. Played with their kids. Sat in on a shift. I’ve also been in military brigs, which I thought were worse. I never said it was cushy. But those folks loved their jobs, loved the pay, loved the benefits and loved the time off they got. Sorry to hear about your family member.

Thank you for clarifying that. Most candidates cannot even GET to the “psych” exam part of the process because they couldn’t score high enough on the written exam, pass the physical exam, pass a strenuous background check, pass a polygraph and pass a credit check, lol! Of course, I passed all of these and was slated for training in GA (for 17 weeks, not 7 weeks as I previously stated). At that time, Public Law cut off the hiring age at 34 years, 10 months for these positions so I was unable to later reapply to a different agency for a similar position. Actually my “psych” interview took place in 1990.

These jobs are open to the public for a long period for a REASON, to garner as many applications as possible. The vast majority of applicants don’t make it to step 2 … or 3. A few Piggs posted that they felt these workers are feeding off some “gravy train.” Of course, they are all free to apply for the job themselves (if they are young enough or have previous POST training). At least you admitted you didn’t “need to.”

This is not the first time you have made insulting remarks to me, pablo. You have in the past come off on here sounding elitest and above reproach. I have a great memory ;=]
