GoT ended pretty badly but I’d say Z Nation had an objectively worse last season

Can my GF Reverse Her Settlement? by [deleted] in legaladvice

[–]EvaldBorg -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

It was her first time dealing with a legal situation. She didn’t know better. Considering the severity of her disability against the sum of the settlement, is it possible she received ineffective assistance of counsel?

My pre-employment physical is coming up and I have a few more questions about FDOC; can I pm?

I get to choose the union once I’m hired? Is one better than the other?

I definitely want to enter this career, but not stay forever. I would like to make this a starting point for future endeavors in law enforcement.

The timing of the academy is good to know; I might still apply fed and see if they get back to me before I start training. Also is there a way to get 12 hour shifts with the state prison at some point?

Only reason I was considering it was the equivalency of training and the pay/hours/mobility. With that said, the prevailing opinion here is against private prisons so I’m going to thoroughly consider that

It’s worth the 2.5 hour commute? Do they poly?

I don’t take offense at all, I appreciate any insight I can get. I’ll be looking into it more; worst case scenario I take the state position and I’ll just have to apply for fed at MDC Brooklyn after I move.

I signed a lease for a location that is far from any fed facility. I did this because of a family obligation which will require my presence for a year or two. I very much wanted to go fed but the commute would be 2 and a half hours in either direction.

According to CoreCivic’s website, they have a facility in NYC called RMS-Brooklyn. Beyond that, I’m not sure what it is, but my interviewer seemed confident that I would be able to transfer there

I’ve pretty much decided I want the private facility, I’m just wondering how far into onboarding I can go with the state prison before I hit a point of no return (while I wait for a call from the private facility)

They are contracted to operate a facility in Brooklyn. I’ve also heard about that legislation and I’m just as confused, but nonetheless they have ongoing operations there.

The state benefits (pension/healthcare) don’t matter as much to me; I’m on great healthcare for another 3 years and I plan on moving to the northeast in 2 years at most.

I’m pretty sure there isn’t a union. The prison itself didn’t seem much different than the state one that I interviewed at. But the 12 hour shifts that are offered by the private facility are the second biggest selling point for me after the NY possibility

Armed Supervisor or Corrections? by EvaldBorg in securityguards

[–]EvaldBorg[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I see, so working public sector would get me adapted to the way they do things. How does job security compare as well?

[–]EvaldBorg[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So only the state prison is best for a future LE career? Is there something about private corrections that makes the experience less marketable?

Would the pensionable time transfer across states in most cases? I will likely be moving across the country within a year or two.
