I would like to forewarn anyone applying for position at this Jail....... Don't do it. There are multiple reasons why starting with the staff that you work side-by-side with is absolutely ridiculous and has no idea what they are doing on a day-to-day basis. As they say too many chiefs and not enough Indians.They're going to throw you in to and open Bay dorm room setting with over a 100 inmates and only you with nothing to protect yourself. Most of the time I could even get anyone to relieve me for a bathroom break . In the time frame a 14 months that I worked at this facility I saw multiple officers fired for bringing in drugs to inmates sleeping with inmates and 1 inmate Death. The training Academy that they send you to is 8 months down the road after you are hired. If for any reason that you decide that you don't want to stay working at this jail you have to pay them $10000 yes....10 thousand dollars for 8 week course for your time to work at the Academy plus the price of the Academy and your medical benefits that you paid out of your pay check if you do not pay them back they will garnish your wages legally. Also important documents and paperwork gets conveniently lost I applied for a Corporal position for training when they handed out Corporal status I was told mine never got turned in but I still trained the new employees. You work 12 hour shifts usually ends up being over 13 your drafted within 15 minute notice and you don't get to claim the over time they give you comp time which when you go to take it they won't allow you to take it because no one is there to cover the other positions or hours and if you don't use the comp time in expires. These issues are just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to working at this facility please heed my warning and don't. I wish I had someone that was honest enough like this statement before I wasted 14 months of my life that I'll never get back.

This place will break you! You will be treated as you treat others regarding staff. Do what you're supposed to do when you're supposed to do it I realize there are even worse places to go than this! Treat the staff nicely because the staff they do have do you want to keep otherwise you will be on lockdown 24 seven. RESPECT DIGNITY GOD.
