You know the beauty of not working in corrections anymore ? No more responsibility for adults that don't wanna be responsible for themselves. So I no longer have to worry about catching a charge, every time I find an inmate hanging or bleeding out .
I understand that alot of people either respect or don't respect correctional officers. I have an agility test this friday so my opinion may be a bit biased but I think CO's from where I'm from are pretty good guys. Sure there's bad ones also, but think about it. There's good people and bad people doesn't mean you have to hate them all and let one spoil the whole batch. If it weren't for these CO's (The good ones) then the murderers and such would be out today still doing so. Mad respect to CO's
Taking the exam tomorrow ! Can't wait i really want to be a correction officer so badly. I've wanted to be in Law Enforcement since i was just 12. My father's a lawyer and he was the one who inspired me to get in to Law Enforcement. There's nothing i wanna do more than to be a correction officer i just need the opportunity !
Dylan Newman to Dylan then you will be a great officer you have the passion to want to do the job and when you do this job you do it with great compassion you do it to make a difference you be the best correction officer that you can be that way you can change live and also move up in the ranks and become a warden then move up and become a chief then maybe you can change some of the things that you see that correction could have done better we need more people like you that have the passion to want to do the job god bless you on your journey
Melanin Chic it’s definitely not that no one could get a job other than a Corrections Officer. You need at the very least a Bachelors Degree to apply. It’s a thankless job. No one wants to do it. The Police are tasked with the arrest and that’s all they do. A CO is tasked with keeping not only the public safe, but themselves and the inmates as a whole.
Nomad without freedom that's so right and on point. They only wish they ws anything! SOME GOOD PEOPLE ARE THERE BUT THERE'S SOME RHAT WERE NEVER GOOD AND CAN'T BE GOOD. IT'S A LOT OF BULLSHIT ON RIKERS...ALOT
I did this shit for almost 3 years. I can make more money working at lowes , than working as a correctional officer . I'll keep my state jailers license incase of emergency , but I will take every step I can to make sure I never have to go back through the system. I wouldn't recommend this "career" to anyone.
They will not be the same in what way?The way they feel about the job or the way they are as a person?I retired from there after 20 years and it can change you.
I give Negron all my respect. Most people think just because you have a degree you shouldnt lower yourself and take a job not paying the maximum you can get. Well this woman shows that she realizes that doing what she intuitively feels she would be good at is much more important. Plus she is a classy, beautiful woman also. I wisah her the best of luck. We need more "civil servants" like her instead of the majority who sit slumped behind their desk acting like they are doing YOU a favor. Bravo!
I want to know what is the difference in job description between the City Correction officers and the state correction officers.. Is there a difference.. Also how do employees treat female officers..
Well I will assume State Corrections are sentenced and city Corrections are mostly remand, waiting to go to court. Thats how it works here in Canada, But we also have Provincial and Federal prisons. Provincial is 2 years less a day and federal is 2 years and up. Provincial prisons will also hold people for remand.
The fact that you took the time to reply tells me that it struck a nerve.But FYI ,, i have family and friends that went into this type of law inforcement and statisics dont lie
Mr Retired, I just watched the entire 2 seasons of the series called "Lockdown" shown on Netflix, and it seemed that in every prison and jail, all the CO's were respectful and polite, and did every single thing exactly by the book. Yet I am told that corruption is rampant in prisons. I understand some officers act sweet for the TV cameras, but none of the cons complained .I always thought that this occupation would attract those who need to bully others. Didn't see it at all. Very suspicious!
Im in the process of doing alot of interviews to be a correction officer in alot of different states. Can anyone tell me if boot camp is hard to get thru. Im 41 and in ok shape. I do go to a ufc gym and do kick boxing but havent been in a while due to working too much. But law inforcement has been my passion for yrs so imma do whatever it takes to succeed.
Jesus will Judge yeah working in the jails is probably worse in the sense of it probably gets very nerve wracking and it is probably very unpredictable not to mention that it is a thankless job
Amen. God Bless the non corrupt ones who put it on the line every day. And since most don't even earn what a regular cop would make, they are true heroes. I would pray that any inmate trying to kill a prison guard for no reason would automatically get life without parole and be shackled permanently. No second chance against our finest heroes! It is the only sane way to protect these guys fully. Anyone disagree?
This comment is based on.....what?Were you a correction officer or is your info based on what you see in movies?I retired after 20 years a correction officer and that's not my view at all. Don't generalize even if you do know some C.O.'s;everyone is different.
To be honest, we have gone backwards in our prisons as far as protecting both guards and prisoners. No one is ever blamed. No one is ever held responsible. How about all personnell in every prison from the warden to the lowest guard have to take a polygraph test 4x a year. Yuh think maybe they would think twice about bringing in contraband for prisoners, yuh think a lazy warden who sits on his fat ass all day might do some work. Im curious...what exactly does a warden do all damn day anyway?
Its amazing as I listen to the different views on this and other similar threads, how in some prisons, the guards are part of the problem,feel no compassion for guys getting extorted or raped, and in other prison videos, you got like 100 prisoners and 2 guards because somebody quit or called in and these guys get assaualted many times in their time as a CO. Why is this a problem? Tell you why....the good co's wont rat out the bad ones as they should, and the good prisoners are not protected.
What you really have to look forward to is as time goes by while you work in corrections,you slowly become seperated from society,you find that the only people that can stand you is your fellow officers and thats because they have to.Then comes the first divorce and your kids just going through the motions when they see you. Hey,but at least you get a paycheck!
My godsons' uncle told me that if you work 20 years , you personally have served 8 years because of the time spent locked in , of course you become separated from society, constant association brings along assimilation, plus the inmates know that you're going home at the end of your shift, barring some unforseen circumstances, and that the facility is for all intents and purpose, their house.
Ah, quick response! Fair enough,you have both family and friends in there, I alway told new officers that you need to get a hobby, something to do on your own away from the family. At least we know you won't go into this profession!
@hapkido4 ya everything you just said i did my personal favorite was snacting the handcuffs and im my times i destroyed a lot of them.sure i allpaid the price 4 it but it was cause it gave me a reason to hate.
I retired in 2005, people, and every word he says is TRUE! Alot of the brass were downright scumbags,Enjoying the retired life in FLorida!
NYC Correction Officer,
Thanklesss job, you just do it.

be careful
Hey, did you get the job?
i wonder how many of these officers are still there at Rikers. hope they made a great career out of it.
Ms MBA could not find a job thats why she went into corrections
Tiffany James EXACTLY

Garbage job
🤷🏾♂️
@@bonnieparker9221 you need a bachelor's degree to get a correction officer for the feds
I'm a female c/o , I have been in a fight with a male inmate.didn't bother me. Be aware of your surroundings inmates and staff. Trust your gut.
is there anymore videos for nyc corrections academy ?
NYC DEPT OF CORRECTIONS.....The worst fukin Correction agency in America!
Nomad without freedom that's so right and on point. They only wish they ws anything! SOME GOOD PEOPLE ARE THERE BUT THERE'S SOME RHAT WERE NEVER GOOD AND CAN'T BE GOOD. IT'S A LOT OF BULLSHIT ON RIKERS...ALOT

I wonder how many of those recruits quit after they were hired
I was thinking about that at one time
Corrections officers in NYC make more than the cops do.
You make more than $120 thousand at Lowe’s?
They will not be the same in what way?The way they feel about the job or the way they are as a person?I retired from there after 20 years and it can change you.

@63Jeannee yeah I agree, this is what journalism is all about.

I was in the USMC also I think the jail is worse to work in though
Jesus will Judge yeah working in the jails is probably worse in the sense of it probably gets very nerve wracking and it is probably very unpredictable not to mention that it is a thankless job
The training needs to be expanded
My sister just graduated thursday.
Amen. God Bless the non corrupt ones who put it on the line every day. And since most don't even earn what a regular cop would make, they are true heroes.

Fantastic video - more like these, please!

Retired in2000, enjoying life in sunny Florida
recruit with sergeant stripes?
They are squad leaders
Why is she wearing sergeant stripes as a recruit? Here in Washington State DOC, you must promote up through the ranks. Interesting.
Squad or team leader,usually gets removed day of or before graduation
Mike Hanratty because she was the company sergeant for the class
How would i be sorry for the one thing i wanted to do since i was a kid? Why don't you just troll somewhere else buddy.
did you ever get in?
How can you be so sure im not in law enforcement?
Be safe all you recruits!!!!!
No damn way I would have an MBA and work at a prison. I used to be a corrections officer, and that is a waste of a degree
Its amazing as I listen to the different views on this and other similar threads, how in some prisons, the guards are part of the problem,feel no compassion for guys getting extorted or raped, and in other prison videos, you got like 100 prisoners and 2 guards because somebody quit or called in and these guys get assaualted many times in their time as a CO.

Is this acting?? The acting is on point😂

Our Jersey DOC training 5 times tougher! Literally military training.
That was only NYC DOC training, not NYS DOC training, that's a whole other beast in itself !
Sounds like modern day TDC
Ah, quick response! Fair enough,you have both family and friends in there, I alway told new officers that you need to get a hobby, something to do on your own away from the family. At least we know you won't go into this profession!
She had a MBA on top of affirmative action, she probably outranked the instructors the day she was hired.
Holy shit 00:50 Aimee!!!!!!
@hapkido4 ya everything you just said i did my personal favorite was snacting the handcuffs and im my times i destroyed a lot of them.sure i allpaid the price 4 it but it was
cause it gave me a reason to hate.
CO, worst job in America.
