A Day In The Life of A Correctional Officer In Prison

Watch The Full Episode: • #24 After Dark - Rick ...
In this After Dark episode I sat down with Rick Field - a retired California Corrections Officer who served over 25 years at the highest security prisons in California including Corcoran State Prison, famously housing notorious criminals such as: Charles Manson, Joseph DeAngelo, Sirhan Sirhan & Jaime Osuna. Rick shares how his high stress life resulted in a having a stroke and being diagnosed with kidney failure all before the age of 60. After serving the state of California for decades, Field has shifted his efforts to helping his "Brothers & Sisters" through co-founding the Guardian Program which focuses on supporting employee wellness for Corrections Officers through HeartMath backed research.
Rick shares graphic stories of inmates, block searches & the mental fortitude required to show up to jail everyday alongside some the most crazed killers of all time. This episode depicts real life events that may be disturbing for some listeners but the reason for it is invaluable: To bring awareness to the importance of mental health, stress management and life saving approaches for a population of 30,000 Corrections Officers in California who have an estimated life expectancy of only 60 years old.

Good stuff fr , nobody talk about how hostile the correction work environment is with other officers. The older one , the miserable ones , the one that get mad instantly because they have to train you , the one that sit back and see you struggling . It very hostile for newer and younger officers to adapt fr
