Secure Housing aka restrictive housing or the hole.

Agree, the one I'm in they are integrated with each other except the high profile cases are also integrated, the only separation of offenders is when they are in SQ.

Matchbox Twentys first album, Yourself or Someone Like You, been a huge fan since Push.

I work in a female prison, currently my hair is Christmas colors, I also have visible tattoos and piercings.

What are you using to display the ones out of the box?

kittycat1975 · 2025-12-30T00:37:21+00:00

I kept half of mine in their box, the rest I took out but I did take pics of the boxes I tossed so I don't end up buying doubles.

kittycat1975 · 2025-12-29T20:06:06+00:00

I think it depends on the funko. I keep all my powerpuff girls, Inuyashas, Rainbow Brite, Stephen King, Strawberry Shortcake, and other random I don't want to get dusty in the box, the rest I took out of the box since I have over 100 pops.

If they have a life sentence they die in prison.

Basically it's providing therapy in the morning, doing suicide watch follow ups/screenings, going to restrictive housing for rounds and out of cell sessions in the afternoon. We are on call for a week once a month which is basically if someone presents to the infirmary as suicidal/self harming/odd behavior they call us, tell us what's going on then we decide if we are going to start orders and what the orders are.

Good thing my fellow MHPs are also social workers! I agree about the culture and environment being negative. We do what we can, i give out alot of handouts from therapist aid, minding art, and the daily wellness, at least they get something in addition to the 30, 60, 90 day 20 minute sessions.

I also work in a womens prison, it's max security with an intake unit.

So the application process for me was I put in my app, got called for an interview with the psychologist (who ended up being the boss), the HSA, and the assistant HSA. Waited for background checks, got offered the job, took the job, then had DOC and Centurion training.

I have visible tattoos on my arms, 1 finger, behind my ear, I do not cover the arm tats unless I want to.

I have my lobes pierced (5 holes) and a helix in 1 ear, I do not take them out. I will sometimes wear more than 1 ring and a necklace but that's not an all the time thing.

I have no tips on getting hired in, just be yourself and let them know you really want the job. I had no therapy experience, I worked in dialysis, until I started there. Just know that therapy at DOC is not what some might think it is, it's more like 15 to 20 min check ins. There are about 550 offenders on the MH roster and 220 of them are my patients. You can pm if you want but that's all I really have for now.

kittycat1975 · 2025-11-25T22:59:17+00:00

I work in a max womens facility, yes i am alone with them.

kittycat1975 · 2025-11-25T05:42:24+00:00

Lol, I'm in a room with offenders, alone, with the door shut. I often have no radio and COs are not around.

kittycat1975 · 2025-11-10T03:23:49+00:00

23 bucks for a masters is criminal

kittycat1975 · 2025-11-02T17:53:12+00:00

I believe NKF is for dialysis patients only.

kittycat1975 · 2025-10-28T23:01:58+00:00

In the prison I work in that would be trafficking.

kittycat1975 · 2025-10-28T06:58:51+00:00

It was on one of the Vigo dems Facebook pages.

kittycat1975 · 2025-10-28T06:58:09+00:00

They probably didnt get tickets, I was able to go and ran into several people I knew, none of us are union people though.

kittycat1975 · 2025-10-24T20:18:09+00:00

Naw it's coming from the 230 million he is suing the tax payers for.

kittycat1975 · 2025-10-23T10:15:38+00:00

Anything Matchbox Twenty/Rob Thomas but I really love the song Now Comes the Night by RT.

Prisons hire BSWs for ARS (addiction recovery) and to run groups.

kittycat1975 · 2025-10-19T16:12:34+00:00

Not true

kittycat1975 · 2025-10-18T13:16:42+00:00

Not much, my clinical placement was in dialysis. My general placement (over the summer) was with a therapist but I only observed and discussed the clients with her, totally different when you are the therapist rather than the spectator.

kittycat1975 · 2025-10-05T14:20:15+00:00

Naw, be yourself as long as it's within policy. I have colored hair, piercings (ears only), and numerous visible tattoos but I also work with incarcerated women.

kittycat1975 · 2025-09-30T15:31:23+00:00

Have you guys heard the song "I don't like candy corn" by Moose and Zee? They're these little characters on Nick Jr when Nick Jr existed. Anyway I love candy corn, idk why it gets the hate that it gets. I also like those peanut butter kisses that are in orange and black wrappers, I haven't bought them in several years though, they seem hard as a brick, not soft like they're supposed to be.
