Move forward and apply I'm halfway thru the process its going to pay off in the long run , im in Central PA and there's 30 facilities, but just be ready for overtime 1 or 2 shifts per week but other C.O's will tell u that the pay is great.
NOOOOOO dont don’t do no STATE corrections!!!!!! Go FEDERAL, I waisted 12 years at the state. If your credit is straight and you don’t have no domestic violence charges, GO to the Feds!! You’ll thank me later.
Can you look into CDCR and Hector Bravo a youtube content creator like yourself. He speaks from a position of corruption and extremely negative. I wanted to see your perspective and your point of view. Speaks in terms of CDCR coming down on you even if you follow policy. (California Department of Corrections) this would be a great Video.
All facts!! Also remember you can change a NO into a yes but it’s hard to change a YES into a No. so never tell an inmate yes to something unless you absolutely know you can do it. Your word is all you have behind that wall
Good information Smoot , I've been doing corrections for 26 years now, currently ranked as Lt. you sound pretty much like myself when I speak to new officers in rollcall. We need more like you in the field!
To any of y’all looking at this DO NOT GO STATE!!!!!! Go FEDERAL and this is from someone that was a state OG, I worked at the state for 10 years and the FEDS is the way to go!!!!
Mannnn, you better put em onto the game! Say that again!! 🫵🏼🫡💯 i just saw this comment, my fault fam, my notifications i be gettin alot between here and my social media, i be missing comments sometimes. keep grindin
Straight facts...CO out in NJ and consistently is key...respect is a must and verbal judo cant definitely keep you out of situations if u feel it can go left...I deal with the younger population and from what I heard it is the most volatile and unpredictable population to control and handle but its the career is definitely rewarding...no one in the facility I work at makes less than 100k a year...Starting pay just increased to 70,000 first year out the acadmey...only problem is our academy is 22 weeks long...
I had a cm1 inmate tell me “Sarge we see how you move. You a man of your word. We gonna make sure our cells are straight for inspection in a little because we respect you”
We had a "Mafia floor". It comprised mostly of wise guys. It was the best floor to work because they rarely gave staff trouble. The other inmates were affected by the low-profile sentiment and followed this behavior. Maybe the others got the hint to comply or else. They were intelligent negotiators and not aggressive. I worked the night we had a citywide power failure. This meant elevators and telephones also went out. We were concerned about the lone female working that floor. The inmates were all out and not locked into their cells. Anything was possible. It took us about 20 minutes to reach her. She was as safe as if she was home with her family. She said she felt safer there than anywhere else in NYC. The guys protected her. We know this isn't assured every time.
I’m a CO in New Jersey for 16 years. I’ll tell anybody find a better career 16 hours shifts 2 to 3 times a week. Dealing with the stress from the inmates n other COs. The pay good but it’s not life changing. My opinion find a better career.
Attention all "Boop, Boop, Boop" Members, breakfast is on me tomorrow. All members report to IHOP at 0830 hrs. I'll leave the tip too if you skip the rap music. (LOL)!
I'll have a life conversation with the inmates. However, I WILL NOT TALK about their cases at all. The inmates know this too. I keep whats discussed in the courtroom, IN THE COURTROOM. The inmates know this too. I tell them, "keep that conversation for you, your attorney's, and probation and parole officers."
@TheGhettoBodybuilder you're not lying. They don't even use my name unless I piss them off by holding them accountable for their behaviors. When I piss them off, they have no problem remembering my name to the supervisors. Imagine that 😆😁🤣!!!
Now how does these tips work in maximum security and supermax where the most problematic inmates are held? Inquiring minds would like to know. I am new to your channel.
prison is prison tbh bro. when i transferred to the federal prison im now at in North Carolina, they said its one of the best facilities in the BOP. ive been there now since 2015, and we have had multiple inmate homicides, inmate suicides, so anything can happen at any prison. never underestimate any facility or inmate. alot of inmates at my prison were once max custody that worked their way day, they can be one bad day or bad situation from relapsing
@gtkid3289 i aint hip on cali c/o testing, but in corrections in general, most of them tests are scenario based and you gotta pick the most politically correct answer you would do in that situation. always think security & safety of the institution & sticking to the policy and procedures
Why do CO's emphasize respect? We're not in a job that makes friends. We lock people up and restrict their liberty. So many staff yearn respect, that the inmates manipulate you over this. When an inmate says. "you're the best CO we've ever had. They say this to butter you up. Then they want something in return. Many uninitiated officers fall for this. We don't deal with moral people. Buttering up an officer works better than threats or hatred. Don't dwell on this stupid shit.
@@TheGhettoBodybuilder I'm a correctional officer (previously a CO). My job was to keep felons locked up. I couldn't give 2 shits if they respected me or not. Our inmates are not moral people and their respect isn't needed. Sometimes not liking me proves I'm doing my job. My job is making sure they don't break out. This is determined by counts. Sometimes we get the job done with happy inmates. Other times, we get the job done with unhappy ones. Permit me to say just one more thing, when the riot goes down, the soft officer is the first to get assaulted.
😂😂😂 you obviously never been respected before. There’s a difference between people pretending to like you and respecting you . I demand respect. From every one. Any disrespect and I’ll demonstrate why you need to respect me. Therefore I don’t get fucked with. And I give that same respect back. A lot of y’all need to be cops to get “respect” and it shows.
@@thomasryan2679and you. You need to get laid more 😂 I can tell . But besides that, there is not one person who NEVER did ANYTHING that they couldn’t have went to jail for. The Bible says people who think they are holy or with out sin is a hypocrite. Ima pray you get some cheeks and self acceptance, awareness, respect and courage. Can tell you have a temper too. Be careful man, you got many years to make one single mistake . And I hope when it happens you don’t get away with it. But I’m also hoping you get a c o like this guy and not one like you.
@@TheGhettoBodybuilder bro I'm not hating I'm being honest why don't you be honest too. I know the get down . Loser dude from. High school gets c/o job feel beta starts taking steroids and being evil to inmates
Received the call this morning with the starting date. Man thank you for everything you do and it was definitely worth the wait.

@alexyoung7371 its the same concept, no matter what institution you working. corrections 101 blueprint for success
Is there a cutoff age for being a federal corrections officer?

damn thats a long academy 😂
I watch a couple prison channels. It's nice to hear your perspective as well💯👍
I had a cm1 inmate tell me “Sarge we see how you move. You a man of your word. We gonna make sure our cells are straight for inspection in a little because we respect you”
thats love right there, when you get a working relationship & understanding like that
Hell yeah you've got to keep the respect going both ways. It's not about trying to one up one another.
absolutely! respect takes you a long way in life!

Nah I appreciate your time Love 🫵🏼🫡❤️💯
Laws are laws, you don't or the inmates get to break them, your probably gonna get fired after this, unless your bosses are doing the same thing
Being in the infantry in the marines man we use to see some unspeakable things hopefully it’ll translate going into law enforcement
you’ll do fine
I got my interview before the board in 6 days I'm looking forward to getting through it and through the academy.
for sure! good luck to you
