3 year into my career: Texas Department of Criminal Justice. At this point I'm a "sergeant" in rank but not quite authority or pay. I work in the Laundry. Most of my job is supervising offender workers and keeping the shenanigans at an acceptable level. I have been recommended by my Head Warden that the rehabilitation side of our work needs people like me, hard enough to punish but willing to give offenders a chance to better themselves. Can't take
vape gear into the unit. It's not glamorous, but if feel like I'm doing my part to make our world a little nicer. Some of our "clients" really just need "some good old fashioned parenting" while some need to be locked in a dark hole for the rest of their lives.
Bravo to our members who served in the military, we need y'all and respect you. Big respect to the folks that catch the knuckleheads I watch too, you guys (and gals, no sexist lean here.) are in a trench too.
