Thanks man love the videos you got hella wisdom ty for sharing just applied cause you! tired of security for no pay and i got a baby on the way i needa provide for gotta get serious bout my pay!
i’ve been a corrections officer for 13 years now, started at a county jail in WV, the most i made there was $43k back in 2012, i joined the BOP federal prison, worked 2 different institutions one in WV, currently down at NC. Its been UP🚀 from there, the past 6-7 years, ive made over $100,000 with OT every year. its been a blessing. Definitely apply, can change your whole life. We got mouths to feed bro, if you get on, put as much as you can in your retirement account, i take alot of that OT money im making and invest it in stocks & crypto in my personal accounts, and i buy stocks my daughters college fund
MANNN! LOL, i feel you on this, go back & watch a couple of my videos i did a while back. I’m talking about all the OT money thats available in these prisons, its like you’re printing your own golden ticket on Willy Wonka. All of the videos are on my corrections officer playlist on my channel! 💰💵 🫡
I am in the process of becoming a CO. Can you make a video of these two topics * where do they place new co’s? Do you pick what level security you go into , do they place you based on your physical atributes ( body build , age etc ) * i also have a beard. Do i have to shave or i can keep my beard , i also have a nose piercing.
i got you. depends on the agency you’re applying to. the county jail i was at we had to shave, the feds where im at now, you can have a beard down to your stomach and nose ring
I just got done with my final Interview. I am going to start off as a CO4. I will be making $4,026 a month plus plenty of overtime. I will be working at the Coffeiled Maximum security prison in Tennessee Colony, Texas. I am extremely excited and nervous. I am so happy I got this job
Mannnn, i be seeing some co workers bring in some crazy shyt to work, like space heaters, oven microwaves to cook their food on the unit 😂😂😂, you’re not supposed to but nobody really says anything. i just mind my business! i keep a book in my bookbag in case im working an assignment that doesn’t have a office and computers, my food of course 💯😂, & plenty of snacks. A puzzle book should be fine, just dont bring in the obvious No No’s like a pocket knife, handgun, or anything crazy that supervisors may look at you crazy for trying to bring behind the wall!
yeah, i seen people get hired on with the feds that worked as a security guard. That counts as a year of specialized experience. Even if they said they won’t take you, you can always work at a county jail or state prison for a year, get your experience and then apply for the feds if thats your ultimate end goal
You have to lock it up in your locker. You can’t even bring in gum. Most require a clear backpack and you’re scanned and patted down before entering the building
im editing the video on this topic as we speak. imma drop it sometime this week or next week. you don’t necessarily need it, the only reason i went to college and got my degree in criminal justice was because i had got a football scholarship, couldn’t turn down that opportunity
they drug test you when you start. most agencies random drug too. i went 5 years from my start date no drug tests, then randomly got drug tested 3 times in a two month period
@brandongoodman8539 shyt im not sure bro, i think they’re mainly testing for cocaine, crack, heroin, things like that. i would google it what other people are saying though to be safe. you may be good if its just testosterone replacement
@brandongoodman8539 i googled it i think they’re mainly testing for marijuana, cocaine, drugs like that. ive never ran into that predicament sorry cant be more helpful
the state and county you may have to shave. when i worked county jail, we could only have a mustache. the federal prison im at now, you can have a beard down to your belly button like Duck Dynasty and no one will say nothing 🤣
you can join with your spouse, but its usually rules like you can’t be one another’s supervisor. its plenty people who are married and work at my prison. just be careful and make sure yall’s relationship is solid. its some sharks up there, ya dude co workers a know yall are married and still try and holler at your ol lady. might have to put on the boxing gloves in the work parking lot after work 🥊 🫡💯😂
