General Qs How do I start enforcing this without pissing everyone off?

24 Upvotes

I’m a newer CO and I’ve been letting inmates stay up later and watch TV if they were being quiet and not causing problems.

Now supervision is telling me I need to shut it down earlier.

The problem is I’ve already been letting them do it, so I know I’m gonna get the “you always let us before” stuff.

What’s the best way to start enforcing it now without making it a bigger issue than it needs to be?

Hiring Q (State) Need information

1 Upvotes

I have recently applied for an administrative role at NYS DOCCS. They had asked me for a degree evaluation as my degrees are from a foreign nation. I submitted them the evaluation report and asked the hr if she has received the report and she has replied saying yes they have received it. There are few questions I have in mind.

First, they require 2 years of experience for that role and I have that from a different country. There’s an experience I have from the year 2016 and I don’t have any documentation for that job. It was at an international bank. I still have onboarding and orientation emails from 2016. Will this cause any problem or do they have some ways of contacting the HRs in the company??

Second, I also have a year experience in a language documentation project which was not salaried. What details do they confirm during the reference check??

They have asked for my degree evaluation report does that mean I will get a call for an interview??

Self Post Pa state parole

5 Upvotes

Hello all, I'm a 32 year old male who has worked in the corrections field for 10 years now. I have no degree but 10 years of corrections experience. I have been promoted to Lieutenant and I'm now a Captain. My goal for the past year or so has been to join the state parole side of corrections. That's either field or within a state prison. Are there any trainings I can take or certifications I should go for to better my chances of getting an interview ? I again have no degree to pair with my experience but I'm truly trying everything I can to go to where I want to be. Any type of help or advice is greatly appreciated.

General Qs How do you deal with inmates who talk trash?

22 Upvotes

So basically I graduate the academy Thursday, I start Sunday. I worked in center control for agency training but haven’t been on the floors dealing with inmates yet. I’m making up scenarios in my head so I know what to expect, but how do you deal with inmates who talk trash do you? Do you ignore them, laugh at them, or talk trash back? How should I go about this when this happens?

Hiring Q (Canada) CTP Stage2/3- Kingston Ontario

3 Upvotes

Hello Everyone,

I finally received my conditional offer for CTP2/3 for Jan 2027 intake. I will be going to Kingston, Ontario. Couple of questions:

  1. What to take/pack for the in-person training at Kingston?

  2. How are the trainers out there and how strict are they?

  3. On day1- is the test multiple choice and super hard to pass?

  4. Which areas people tend to lack or fail?

  5. What will make you get through the training smoothly and any tips would be very much appreciated.

Thank you!

General Qs Food Trucks

1 Upvotes

Are there food trucks in your parking lots? If so, if you find out that you’re up in a tower (I know that you typically just don’t get sent to a tower out of the blue—but let’s say you’re caught by surprise) and don’t have a lunch what would be the process that you’d get lunch?

Conovor says that he would order from the tower and drop the bucket down to pay for it/have the guy send it up? Is that right? What if the food truck isn‘t close enough? Would your escort drive you to the food truck before dropping you off? These sorts of things seem so facility specific.

I’m sorry to be peppering you all with questions. I’ve done a bunch of reading but some of the finer points are things I can’t find and I’d rather bear it from you all rather than ChatGPT.

Has anyone here been through the hiring process for Hennepin County Corrections at the ACF in Plymouth. Interview there tomorrow and wondering what the interview process is like and what the post-interview is like? When I interviewed at Ramsey I was fingerprinted and submitted my background that day as well.

Is that the same with them being a large county?

Hiring Q (County) Polygraph

6 Upvotes

I applied to become a corrections officer with the county sheriff’s office. I passed my background check and my polygraph is scheduled in about two weeks, on my application, I answered that I had never used marijuana. However, I remembered that about 3 years ago, I took one hit from a friend’s blunt. That was the only time I’ve ever tried it, and I haven’t touched it since. I’m wondering if I should contact my background investigator before the polygraph to correct my answer or just explain it when they ask me during the polygraph. Will coming clean now automatically disqualify me, especially since I already answered no on the application? I’m more worried about the honesty issue than the actual one time use. I would appreciate some answers (:
