- Thank you guys for stopping by my Channel and if you and across this video because you work for a prison or you were interested in working for a prison I did the best I can with giving you guys good information and like I said if you have any other questions or would like more info on a topic that I didn’t touch up on please comment below and do not forget to like share and subscribe #TDCJ #correctionalofficer
I worked in corrections for 4 years, learned a lot but it was def the worst job I ever had lol. I work on the road now much better and much easier in its own ways.
I read this novel "Corrupt officer's Guide to Love" it was awesome. It's about a male guard hooking up with a female inmate. Did you hear or see anything like this going on at your prison?
Hey, I live in Tennessee, but I'm getting ready to start with the Tennessee Department of Corrections; I plan on doing Corrections for the remainder of 2020 and for part of 2021. I will be paying my way (Self Sponsor) to the Police Academy in 2021; Becoming a Police officer is my DREAM!!!!
But I think that Corrections will look good on my resume, and will also give me some experience under my belt;
Wow that is great and yes it’s a good start to the police academy please keep me updated with your journey ❤️
I worked at the Department of Juvenile Justice for 7 years, and then I transitioned last year to the FDOC. It's the best decision I ever made the pay is decent, I work for the State and so the benefits are great. It's not for everyone, but I love what I do and you are right it's better to use respect as opposed to talking to the inmates like they are kids. I work in a maximum security so we have all kinds of inmates. We got murderers, gang bangers, child molesters, rapists, etc. So talking to any of those inmates will get you seriously hurt. When it comes to fights it's usually inmate on inmate most of the time, but doesn't mean that it has not, or will not happen. Pay attention, watch your surroundings at all times. This career is not for everyone, and that's putting it lightly, this career is 4 not for a lot of people which is why there is a high turnover rate. But me I love my career yeah I see a lot of things that you won't normally see in the civilian world but you have to be built for this type of work. If you can't handle seeing violence where someone is beaten to bloody pulp, or can't handle seeing a lot of blood then this job is not for you! It has great benefits, great pay (could be better). But in my opinion I like what I do, and I'm looking forward to retirement.
Hello hello king and I agree with you when I was there I loved it and it does have a lot to do with the unit that you are at and the supervisor.... it makes a world of difference and like I stated in my video I do not want so ever regret working at the prison it in many ways changed me for the better and I’m not going to say I’ll never go back but at the time I left it was very much needed for me thank you so much for your comment and look forward to many more
Are you still a co?
Just graduated yesterday. That mace and gas was alot for me. But im excited start OJT Monday.
Omg congrats hun tell me how you felt about the Academy and what unit are you going to
I just finished day 1. It was mostly in-processing. It was extremely calm in one of the female units. I’m assuming everyone is on some sort of lockdown due to COVID. Apparently there’s a bonus for the male unit (Hughes). I hope it’s not that bad over there.
Yeah it just depends on what’s going on and congrats on a successful first day honestly a lot of people all choose to go to Hughes because of the bonus and I’m gonna be completely honest I would wait to get some experience because Hughes is a little rough right now
Your video is very educating. Today I didn't pass the pistol shooting. I only got 18 out of all my multiple shootings. I don't know if I will be reshooting again by Friday or Monday next week. But please, will I be disqualify if I miss the pistol shooting again? We will be shooting AR15 by Friday. Because I didn't get the pistol today, am crying my eyes out and I've lost some confident bec it was only me in the entire academy that failed the pistol shooting today. Please what do I need to do and know? Thanks
I’m going to start the 16th and do my best
Hi! I’m 20 turning 21 soon and I am planning on becoming a co in sterling Colorado. I was wondering if everyone goes through the same training no matter where they live. I have some more questions if you have the time! Thanks!
Every state is a little different but shouldn’t be too different and ask me anything hun
I am thinking about becoming a detention officer in midland tx I'm a completely scared
As I didn't know it was this physical do people actually stab people
the written test I'm in chicago so I don't know if the written test are the same but your input would be very appreciated.
Hello hello queen and the written test are going to be a lil different because different states have different guidelines so when I registered they gave me a study guide if they do that in Chicago I would definitely look at it and practice because that helped me a lot as far as the physical agility test don’t be worried they go over everything with you and to be honest it’s kind of hard to fail because everything is pretty black-and-white with what you need to do just stay focused don’t over exert yourself make sure that you eat breakfast make sure you’re hydrated because we did have a couple of people pass out because they were so nervous and anxious you got this in a bag please keep me updated
Awesome ! Thank you for your videos ! How long did the background check process go for you? What if you don’t have excellent credit ?
my first day is March 16 thank you for this video super nervous about ready for this career i’m about to start !
You didn't last long lol
I have a question for those who have been employed by TDCJ as correctional officers. Which do you prefer - working in male units, or working in female units? Do you have a preference at all? I ask because, of all the officers with whom I have spoken over the years, I don't recall any who have said they prefer working in a female unit. They have all either said they prefer male units, or they don't have a preference at all.
hughes & woodman are the 12 hr units! hilltop is 8 hr. but ayeeeee i see you kinda shouted me out :) loved your video though ♥️👍🏽
*& subscribed !
Oh okay got it lol I couldn’t remember and yes us babes gotta stick together I’m all about the shout outs
Simply Gabs wat unit u work at?
please tell me the first thing I should do for step in correction. I have to submit the application on the website, right? and answer all the questions there as written. Then after that how long to wait?
I'm from texas and I think of doing this job .when do they recruit any particular times ?
So I have a question you know I started on the 24th & honey they be lookin like I'm a steak dinner. How do u deal with that also it's a girl in my class that says u suppose 2 speak 2 every inmate. Like is that true because it's a different then being like good morning and dude like hey ms lady what's up with u like with sexual undertones like I really dont know. This is so different it's literally like a different world & omg check point is crazy I never had 2 almost undress and I get it because contraband but dagg. Did u ever have the feeling like omg what am I doing coming from customer service? Then these guys big big GURRRRLLL. I ain't no coward but it's just different. This inmate was like there go my babymama right there & I ain't say nthin. I haven't really spoke 2 any inmate with exception of the ones who have a general like good morning yall or good afternoon not the ones like damn hey what's up with u. Then walking down the hall they was like yeahhhh they gone make it. What does that mean?!
Thank you for following up with me and as far as needing to talk to Every imate I mean yeah I say good morning but you don’t need to hold a full conversation the man in or if it’s a woman should not be speaking to you like that any type away so that definitely deserves a write up and you need to put them in their place they need to know that your there to work and for guidance if need be you’re not there to be a snack or to the eye candy to them
One Castle Two Queens Thank u so much girl for putting in perspective for me. I will once I graduate from training I'm going 2 nip that shit in the bud. I appreciate it so much. I made it through my 1st week. I gotta stay prayed up because this is so new.
Hello. Is there math included in the tests at the academy? I’m not talking about the pre-service academy.
Did they give you a polygraph test? What was it like and was the questions nerve racking?
No hun I didn’t have to take a polygraph test i think they only do that if your under investigation well at lest my unit
One Castle Two Queens I hope not. I was talking to a correctional officer here in Georgia and he said they do . But thanks
I hope you keeping it real with the inmates. Hold it down
What’s the physical test like?
It’s honestly not that bad it’s pretty fun because they play music and everything but they have changed it up the tests honestly a little bit easier than the old one that we used to do
One Castle Two Queens wat unit u work at?
Hey Brittany, I’m also in pursuit of being an CO and my name is Brittany 🥰🥰
Can you have a permit and still get this job?
How many exams or tests do you take while you in the academy?? How many questions are there ?
There are 6 test one test a week they normally do them on Thursday and I believe 40 question
One Castle Two Queens What's the passing grade ?
They at lest want you to get a 75
Thank you I appreciate it. I already applied yesterday Do you you remember what type of question they ask At the pre-employment test question? I really appreciate it for posting your videos
Hi do u work with the women or men’s?
And do y’all get tasers? & do a lot of fight happens? I start in October at the all women’s in Michigan & scared a bit cause I hear some horrible stories
I work at a all woman unit and no hun we don’t get tasered we get pepper sprayed and gased but it really not that bad and as far as fight it’s not as much as men fights the only difference is girls hold grudges and after men fight there done and can be best friends but don’t be afraid stick to your values and you’ll be fine 😘
how hard is get hired there ? do they investigate everything about your past?
I am going to a interview for correctional officer tomorrow, any advice?
Im considering moving from Jersey, are all the facilities on the same accord when it comes to paying 1 time a month?
Hey hun and I’m not 100% sure but I know for the most part they are once a month
Did they drug test before graduation?
I feel tensed but I feel confident to join after listening to you.
I’m staring this Wednesday . What’s a good tip to pass the academy ? What is the physical test about ?
How long did it take for TDC take to get back to you when you turned on the application? And can you guide me to the right steps on getting the application and the process? Thank you !!
Of course first thing is have you took the test or are you a vet because I put my appointment to take test then once I did that the lady that was there told me what unit I would be going to so I would see if that’s what’s taken so long you could also call the HR and see what the statuses is and take it from there
Thank you!!!
I haven't taken the test yet
Please people stop working at private jails. If going to work in a prison only work federal or state facilities. Better money and benefits and training. Working for a private jail is like working for a pimp for profit only.
Good thing we got a raise 😁
I love your video you are so personable. I just got the job as an correctional officer. I am not a pushover but I do have empathy. I'm nervous and excited. I'm normally a bubbly person so I know I will have to tone that down. I've never done corrections but like u I need a career change I've worked in an office all my life but I need some stability. Long story less long. Keep up the good work sis. I'm subbing 2 you.
Oh my goodness thank you so much and I’m glad that you like the video like I stated in a video not a lot of people understand what we go through in a day-to-day basis of what we have to deal with on a day-to-day basis but it is up to us to stay levelheaded and not let our positions get to our head so glad that you enjoyed the video again and thank you for the subbing ❤️ and it’s not that you can’t be bubbly but you have to know the time and place our job is what we make of it
Hi so glad I ran across you video even though it was a from a year ago.im going through the process now. I wish I would of known that the process would take so long to get on its been a couple months so far
Hey are u still doing corrections I’ve been doing it for almost a year
do you get that overtime??
Hey👋🏽 so i start the stiles academy on june 1 which is literally this monday and naturally im nervous for a new beginning but as you said, im also in customer service and i definitely need a change! Wish me luck
Oh congrats love and I wish you nothing but good luck keep me updated and follow me on Instagram so that if you have any questions you can get a hold of me
I'm thinking of doing c.o but I'm only 100lbs
Doesn’t matter go for it
Is the overtime pay at time and a half?
Also if I’ll be in a dorm will I have to provide my own lock will my belongings be safe I have a suit case
Hello hello queen and yes the over time is time in a half and for the more part they want you to keep your stuff in the car such you let phone and stuff they only allow you to bring one gallon size bag and in there you can bring food personal things and keys like that but when you are in the academy they will go over all that because each prison is different
@@theinconsistentqueen3826 can u bring your phone and how long is the training/working out
@@theinconsistentqueen3826 do u work by yourself as a rookie
@@dishieBryant yes you are by yourself after you finish your 6 weeks of OJT ( on job training )
Thanks am happy to join
What is the max age
Eric that is something I will have to ask I actually don’t know I want to say 55 to 60 if you want me to be honest
Can u wear your piercings and what’s the dress code ?
What’s the entrance test like?
I go to the academy on Monday. Lucky for me I was already at a private facility (Cleveland) so I know the ropes. Going to Darrington.
Oh okay well nothing but luck and remember the academy is going to tell you worst case of scenario to Prepare you so try and not freak especially with the videos that kind of shook me a little bit it’s all about how you make it
Good luck. How was the facility in Cleveland? I’ve been thinking about going there
@@ZydecoSoul it was TERRIBLE! MTC is the worst.
@@theinconsistentqueen3826 I've seen it all. I've done prison, county jail and halfway house.
I am nervous on first day
I also heard you have to be 5 years sober and I was a little crazy in high school and college. So will that hurt me in the long run?
Did u apply
How did it go?????
Hi im a tdcj officer im working at the mountain view unit here in gatesville tx i like my job been there for 5 months now
Ik some one that was there
And we're still thousands short. I wonder why that is?
How was hard was it … was it really hard ??
Are you talking about the training before you start OJT hun
Yes about the training what would you said is the hardest .. do you have email
Or something I just have a few question to ask you if you don’t mind
@@esmerlyntejada8273 you can find me on Instagram hun same name and we can chat and you can ask me all the questions ❤️❤️ look forward to hearing from you
Thank you i found you and I text you
Which women prison is the best to work at and is the 8 hr better than working 12 hrs
It depends where u are located at 8hrs is good I work 8hrs but when u get mandated it turns into 16hrs
When ur in the academy did they have to pepper spray gasses or tased any of you guys?
we do get pepper sparyed and gased we don’t get tased at the moment it feels like hell but it’s only for a second
loved your video, i'm suppose to start training june 7th
How did it go?
For one a female guard has no business in a male prison and a male guard has no business in a female prison and this is a problem that needs to be fixed
For one we can work where ever we choose lol I work at a female based unit and it’s male offenders there and male and female officers ppl need to have self control when working around offenders
Morons have no business commenting on topics they knows not about
When your off duty as a correctional officer could you make an arrest if you see a crime.
😂😂😂😂
Crazy how you look so beautiful while on lock same broad just different circumstances
I went through the TDCJ graduation at the Sam Houston State University back in 2002.
I worked at the Estelle Unit.
Hey if u don’t mind me asking how much did they pay in the academy??
It will be your regular pay it just won’t be a full check
I’m current a CO here in N.C. I just sent my application today. How long before they call you for a interview and then basic training? Thanks for the video and info ❤️ and I’m moving to Dallas
You are most welcome hun and it took about a week or two stay on top of it and keep me updated ☺️ hood luck with everything
One Castle Two Queens great thanks love. Will do!
Did u get the job ?
@@zhariamarie4012 took them about a week to call me. I started working for Texas prison for six months and I quit. There were safety issues for the staff not enough equipment to protect myself or my co workers. Two months after I left the prison they shut it down.
@@fataybaskett729 it depends on what part of Texas u were working in because ik they called me back 4 days later it's cool where I'm at
I’m hoping the Smith unit is similar to this start on the 12th and I’m shitting bricks lmao
I start training in Gaitsville next Monday. How’s the training pay work? Do we get a partial check on the 1st?
Yes it will be partial pay depending on the day that you start and then you get your first full check after and good luck with your new Journey
One Castle Two Queens thank you for sharing your experience with us. It was very helpful.
Are there any stipulations on male correctional officer having dreadlocks
I don’t believe so if I’m remember correctly
@@theinconsistentqueen3826 thank you
How is it so far?
just applied to the conroe unit in texas
Hi. So I’m from South Dakota and I applied to be a CEO in a local prison. But I’m only 18 going on 19 in November so I feel like that may be a disadvantage for me. I have one year of pre-law on my academic record in college. I’ve had two interviews with them, the first was with the human resources superior and the second was with her plus the lieutenant and the sergeant. So I feel like that’s a good sign, but I’m nervous. She said she would let me know whether I’m hired or not by next week. I’m nervous that I won’t get the job, But I’m also nervous that I will where do I go from there if I get it? And is it true that they’re always hiring and they’re desperate enough that they would hire an 18 year old?
CO***
Hey girl you got this and I hope they called u back and the age they start hiring is actually 18 we're the same age and I'm a correctional officer . Just stay positive !
And the training is basic but every training for different states is also different u just have to pay attention.
I’m 18 and got the job at a male facility
I just applied to schedule my written exam and physical test, what happens after that? I’ll have to go to a training academy?
Did u go because ik this year they're not doing the written exams they just send u to the academy now
@@zhariamarie4012 I passed all that but they used my parents background against me so I didn’t get the job. Also, if you have to take a polygraph lie, it’s fake. The way to pass it is do not think about the question at all just answer it and make your mind think about the weather or something. I did that and passed
@@ericasalas759 are u gonna try to apply at a different facility when u apply u say no when they ask if u know any one who convicted a crime cause that can go against u .
@@ericasalas759 try redoing ur application just when they ask if u no anyone with a background u say no simple because due to working in the prison u can't be around felons etc .
@@zhariamarie4012 I’m going to try in a different county, they said I could never reapply within this facility. It just sucks that they held my parents actions on me!
If you get paid once a month, what about overtime pay?
Overtime is a little tricky and it goes based off of the card that you work but normally if you work overtime you’ll get paid at the beginning of the month with your regular check and around the 13th to 15th for your overtime check
One Castle Two Queens oh hell naw. I’m cool on that. I just submitted my application a few days ago. I better block their number before they call me.
Next week I have training I'm scared as hell everyone at home says I'm to soft for this job but I need it right now
I went the same thing with family and friend and it dose change you I loved it and it did make me feel like i had a better back bone and a voice
@@theinconsistentqueen3826 hey not sure if you answer this but how far back do they go on drug testing ?
@@blckqueen6002 I read all my comments love and thank you interacting with me as far as the drug testing you’ll take one when you first start and it will randomly while you’re working so we honestly never know
Ty
Can I wear my nails long like yours?
Girls that’s one thing they can’t take from me lol and they don’t mind your nails being done they can’t have the jewels and stuff on them
@@theinconsistentqueen3826 I figured by policy nails can only be a quarter inch long due to safety hazards of possibility scratching an offender that may have a serious disease when skin breaks and contaminated blood may get under your long nails
Interesting 🤫
Fairpoint made but in the same token I don’t get stiletto type nails aka pointy nails because we’re not allowed to I always get my squared off to where that’s less of a risk and you won’t have to worry about scratching someone or anything like that
Welcome to the club girl 😌
Thank you I feel like it’s a job is NOT for the lighthearted and very proud of my decision
@@theinconsistentqueen3826 Your Welcome girl. I said the same when I started, can't be soft or give in
Bluntid Ke I definitely agree and it’s extremely hard when you’re naturally a softy and caring person but you got a learn the difference there is definitely a fine
@@theinconsistentqueen3826 seriously. Best tip is always say no lol you can always change a no but not a yes. Hopefully the job won't change you like it did me
I feel like that happens to a lot of people and I’m trying not to let it happen to me I just truly don’t think people know how it is to work in a prison setting or be a police officer and still trying to deal with people on every day life
A moment always to remember
Yes girl LOVE you ❤️❤️
TDCJ use to pay once a month; regular paycheck. The OT paycheck came in the middle of the month.
It's still the same way
What is the pt like ?
Very easy I walked mine each time u won’t regret it
i love your video , i live in Florida i plan on moving to Texas next year and going for it.
Thank you so much hun and it’s going to be a big change but I’m sure you’ll love it here if you ever have any questions feel free to message me ❤️
Awesome video! Now I wanted to ask about the salary like for instance what’s the normal take home after taxes would you assume as I know the starting salary is $3,020 monthly and was curious what a normal take home is if you know? I also wanted to know what have you heard about the Hughes unit as that’s the unit I’m wanting to apply for like what’s the good and bad of that unit? Lastly I liked how you talked about your style as I’m the same way as I was a Detention Deputy with the Denton County Sheriffs here in Texas and it’s rare to see Officers like you and we need more of them! Thank wand look forward to your reply and stay safe
first of foremost thank you so much for the love and the comment on a video and mines after taxes is 2,196 and that is after they take out the taxis and your retirement and the list goes on and on and on so the check is still pretty decent you just got to get used to getting paid once a month because we start at CO3 and after 15 months you’ll get CO4 Hughes is a little bit of a different area because you’re working with men but in the same token you still want to follow the treating people like you want to be treated don’t let them run all over you because you are a woman and a men’s prison can I have to have a different aura about yourself but whether you work in a female or a men’s unit it’s all still the same the man just like to work out all day and thank you for understanding my point of you not everyone does sometimes and like to classify us as a imate lover but that’s not the case whatsoever it’s called being security minded and being a human but I definitely love commenting back to people in again thank you for taking the time to comment
@@theinconsistentqueen3826 that's almost 900 dollars off your check wow
How is it with no ac in the units??
Hello hello I’m not lie if you are at a unit with no AC in the summer it’s i’m going to be hard just make sure that you stay hydrated that is going to be key

First thing thank you so much for the comment and showing love and how you would start is seeing of your prison near you is hiring “they always are” and fill out the app and call the HR and see if there is a entrance test and see how you get set you for that I did means though the work force and after I did that the person there giving the test will get you in to the next step
One Castle Two Queens no thank you for responding! is there much of a difference from working in a prison than a county jail? I’m not sure if there is a prison near me 🤔 i live in arlington lol
