Federal Prison guards clear 100k a year

[goundra]

if they work a 60 hour week (and most CAN, dudes) and if you include the 10k a year med insurance program they have and the 50% (of gross pay, at time of retirement, no tax or ss out of it) pension plan they have. they get $26 an hour after their probationary first year, and have both a union AND Civil Service protection. The medical care is for them, and spouse, and kids under 18, ALL PROBLEMS, and is for LIFE once they retire, as is the pension. better think again about having a decent job, cause 99% of you DON'T

Yeah and they are always hiring. Good job if you can have yourself. .

And they have a life expectancy of 59 years old.

Sh!t job in sh!ttier conditions babysitting some of the sh!ttiest human beings on the planet.

I'll pass. There's a reason they build prisons in places where there are no other jobs. Nobody with any other options would choose this job.

Well thats a badass job, I dont have the body nor the presence to do such job but if I had I would consider it.

Sure you are taking risks but the pay is good, you dont get bored and being surrounded by danger everyday keeps you sharp while making your body keep your hormones high since he has no other choice than being strong and ready to fight.

Just imagine the benefit of it in the weight room or in the bed room with women.

I observed in my experience that anytime I find myself in a comfortable secured environment I have decrease performances at the gym while I see myself much more of a sissy especially when surrounded from manboobs and women.

The moment of my life in which I felt the most a badass was when I was wrestling and dealing with big bad guys 3 times a week.

and who wouldn't want a job where you have the chance to get jumped by 8 criminals who beat you to within a thread of your life

A friend of mine is a state prison guard. He's always picking up the expressions that prisoners use and then repeating them. The problem is that he also has kids who hear it and then repeat what he says. He was telling me that his wife asked his six year old daughter how she was, and the daughter replied, "I'm gooder'n a mother fvcker, cuz it's tater tot day!"

The thing about danger and stress is that it is good in small amounts or for short periods. You feel badass, alert, attentive. If you have it in high amounts and long periods of time, you feel like sh!t and neurons in your brain start to die and you can get chemical imbalances that contribute to depression.

I don't know if Fairshake's statistic of average life of these workers at 59 is true, but if it is I wouldn't be surprised.

A recent study [1982] of the consequences of job stress in correctional officers revealed that the life expectancy of a correctional officer is 59 years, compared to 75 years for the national average. Stress, as manifested in many physical illnesses including hypertension, heart attacks, and ulcers, was found to be higher than that of a comparable sample of police officers. Moreover, alcoholism and divorce rates are higher for correctional officers than for the population in general. As a result, correctional organizations spend enormous sums annually for sick leave, compensation, and liability claims.

$100K is hazard pay.

That job isn't really sustainable. You don't develop any real life skills outside of law enforcement and even law enforcement probably doesn't take you seriously. I used to visit my father when he was gone for a few years just doesn't seem like a good place to be spending your time. What type of exit opportunities do you even have from working as a prison guard....not many most likely.

I remember my mom used to smuggle porno magazines and snacks for him and i used to play chess with some of the other inmates.

 

[goundra]

u r a bunch of pussies. Little fat girls are Federal prison guards. there aint 1 attack per year on a guard in the FEd system and you can bet he had it COMING 100x over. wtf you mean it ainst sustainable? after 20 years you are RETIRED. retirees who go out this year, after 20 years of service, will get 32k a year, EVERY YEAR, FOR LIFE., UNTAXED no ss, either, free to work or do whatever ELSE they want, for LIFE, with that COMPLETE medical insurance, for self and spouse, for LIFE.

It is in fact true that the Bureau of Prisons has been hiring like mad these days. If you've got minimum one year related work experience in various police departments, deputy experience, related military experience, etc. you will be given preferential-hire status. Certain southeastern states have hefty signing bonuses due to the clientele you get to babysit. If you do want to work in corrections, I'd tell you to start locally as a deputy at county intake. Everytime I arrested people and took them in, it was like walking into a daycare. You'd have the full spectrum from 90 lbs. fashion models to crackheads, homeless and rapists. Some of them still drunk/stoned and smiling as if they are still in party mode ...

You get to the federal level and these cats have absolutely nothing left to lose. So what's slashing your throat to them? Definitely not any skin off their dyck...I do know of a retired military member who went to work for the BOP and got lucky just shuttling inmates in the prisoner transport van. I've done that once and it was a very chill segment of police work.

As mentioned above the prison guards/wardens do have much higher alcoholism, depression, suicide and domestic violence rates than your average citizenry. My old police department has 30 line of duty deaths and that's not counting all the deaths off duty due to heart disease/heart attacks, strokes, etc. They told all of us that as cops we were 21x more likely to die from heart disease/hypertension than at the hands of a suspect (gunfire, stabbings, vehicle pursuits--that sh!t).

oh, bs, 1/3rd of the Fed prisoners are MINIMUM security. check their website, man, SEE how many of their 100+ joints are UNFENCED camps. Less than 10% of their over 200k inmates are high security and a lot of those aint violent, much less want to risk getting a life sentence of having the CRAP beaten out of them EVERY DAY, for even striking a guard, much less really harming one. you're an idiot if you even bother with a local city or county jail job. The feds will hire you with NO experience at all, you just make $18 an hour that first "probationary" year, then you automatically go up to $26 an hour, it's all right there on the BOP website. if you are a minrity or a woman, you get preferential hiring. MOST fed emplyoees, DEA, IRS, etc, start as bop guards, cause it's almost impossible for you to screw up there badly enough to get fired, and after you get in that year, they CAN'T fire you from ANY federal job, cause you have civil service protection. barring a conviction for a felony, they HAVE to rehire you somewhere else in the US, at the SAME pay, if you are fired or laid off at a given place. that's the LAW.

Thats just ridiculous

The only two chemicals directly affected by that are adrenal and cortisol.

It's a sh1tty job in a sh1tty place surrounded by sh1tty people. Most people who enter corrections get burned out and leave the field within 5 years.

 

[Gaucho]

If you want good money, for few hours, work for the Government. Most pay rediculous, with rediculous perks. You don't have to be a corrections officer to work for the Goverment. Get good at policy work or a field of office expertise like HR and you could make 100k for <40 hours per week.

I have plenty of friends who do it and they have time to train for their sport, spend time with their family and get drunk with their friends. Let alone enough money to raise a family, pay off the mortgage and take good holidays.

 

[OzyBoy]

Working in a prison would be tough. They should get paid more.
