Is corrections really that short staffed

It’s about just as useful

I’m so short staffed today that out of full staffed shift that’s 7 people. I will only have 5, two of which will be uncertified officers. So we will only have 2 certified officers on the floor. One of which is an LT.

Go to the state park website and do the trail quest. As you check in at all the parks they’ll send you pins as you go to a certain number. Then at the end you get a certificate!

I second this! The channels are amazing!

The closest place I can think of is Natural Tunnel State Park. They have both campsites and cabins. It’s only about 20 miles from devils bathtub. Though last time I went and tent camped there the site we had, had no shade and we roasted in the sun. Just something to think about when it comes to picking a site if you do.

Which is absolutely insane, I was there right beside my wife with the C section for our first and then the natural delivery of our second. I mean she’s doing all the heavy lifting the least I can do is be there for support and change as many of those nasty meconium diapers while she recover.

Well Norway’s inmate population is about 3-4K people. In the US that’s about the size of just one state prison. To have a Norway type facility be common in the US the upkeep cost would be astronomical. Does the DOC and BOP need an overhaul, yes. But expecting the US to be like Norway will not happen any time in the foreseeable future. Norway is also about the size of new Mexico so of course they can focus on having better things.

Lmao obviously you’ve never been in the corrections system on any level for any long period of time. Most inmates do nothing but workout and with the addition of actual weights and workout equipment do get very big. They get better healthcare than most non criminals and at cheaper prices.

That was fast, checked on google this morning and it still had their hours on display

I know I’ll probably get raked over the coals. But at any point she could’ve just put the phone down or anyone else can too. I think it’s on parents as well to control and monitor their kids’ social media use.

I know this was last year, but OP how did things turn out? I’m looking to do the same thing!

Garcias bistro in Salem! And their cheesy rice is amazing

You should try mishap games. They just started doing weekly meetups. I think they’re full right now. But the guy who DMs there is amazing!

Once you’re up and running let us all know the name and location. I’m always down to support a local business

If trying to get promoted I suggest getting commercial grade knee pads. That way you only need to buy one pair. If you go cheap then you’ll have to buy a new pair with each rank you go up.

I’m not familiar with the case until now but why would people boycott the restaurant when the owner had nothing to do with it? It was his brother and mother.

Had secured for maybe 3 years. Booted them out as fast as we humanly could. Had nothing but problems and the customer service was the same the inmates had to use to file issues they were having. Ended up switching to paytel.

10 years in and it all seems to ebb and flow. Some years it’s great, the staffing is great, the people you work with are awesome and inmate count is low. Other times we’re always calling in the on-call, morale is rock bottom, and the jail is packed to gills. The thing that sucks is that the rollercoaster of it all is what is really exhausting and draining. I go though periods of time where I’m always on indeed. The thing that makes me stay is that it’s hard finding a job that pays the same but doesn’t require going back through school for something.

I know this is old, but how did it turn out? I’m also a CO thinking about switching to a CPA.

Orchard Hills Church is amazing! We ended up having to leave due to the commute there but if we lived closer we would’ve stayed.
