Topic: The Club House / Starting Career in Corrections

Obviously you are a female questioning a career in corrections. I am a female in corrections and it is truly a “good old boy” system. It is a field where good money can be made but your dignity eroded. Women do well standing up to inmates and are tortured by male officers. If you are educated as I am it is even worse. You are then a threat. The only women not suffering are the ones who flirt with these “good old boys”. I was told my first year that if I didn’t like it to get out. When I went through the right channels to get help I angered both the women who like to flirt and the good old boys who just wanted me to keep my mouth shut. They found ways to torture me beyond belief. Good luck. Stay strong and don’t play the game or you will lose yourself.
