Industries across the board are dealing with staffing issues, including the Milwaukee County Sheriff's Office (MCSO), who now have a unique approach to hiring correctional officers.
$21/hr ? Gtfoh.. ppl can get close to that flipping burgers. Or they can go to ANY other county jail, where its 100x safer than milw co. Ive been locked up there a few times and let me tell you its wildin! You get crazy fuckers wiping feces on the wall, flooding toilets, fights, ODs. They have 1 CO watching an entire dorm of guys. Which is around 40-70 people. If they wanted, they could snatch that CO up at anytime and list demands. If you value your life, youll make $20/hr in the private sector. Because once youre a CO, youre on the other team and youre no longer safe. Even after you leave and go home, if you piss an inmate off enough, they might come find you or your family. It isnt worth it.
