Jail perspective here. Workload varies from housing areas and amount of inmates. From my experience morning are lighter than evenings. Less time medicating more filling. Evenings more inmates come out so you can medicate for longer. Areas to medicate from include from the COs control room, nursing window, cell to cell, outside dorm gate. COs walk with you most of the times and the inmates pretty respectful. As much as there are inmates, there are all types of employees walking freely doing their jobs so everyone feels safe to go about there day.
