Topic: Letter of The Law / Why can't I work for the BOP?

Update. I got an Email from the BOP saying im never able to work for them. Oh but they said I can apply for other Federal employment. I thought if you fix your credit problem you could try again. Guess not me. I’ve never done anything wrong. If they dont want to hire me because of my brother thats fine I guess, but dont stick it were the sun dont shine!

Topic: Letter of The Law / Why can't I work for the BOP?

I am 29 years old worked in corrections for 1.5 years in West Virginia and have a BS in Criminal Justice overall GPA was 3.02. I went to interview with the BOP Federal in West Virgina and had my interview cut short after I finished my background information. I told them everything. I have never done drugs or anything like that. Shoot I dont even drink. I have a woman and 3 kids at home the hole nine. I am good person and love my Country. But my half brother was a LT. with the BOP and hade sex with a inmate while I was almost done with college. He is 44 years old and is serving his time behind bars for what he did. Why do I have to serve time with him and take away a chance to give a better life for my family? The reason the BOP told me is my credit was bad, ya and so has manny other CO’s they have employed and will still employ. They give you a chance to fix your credit, get it up to date.
