The OT is where its at especially with the collateral duties you can sign up for. Im currently a federal correctional officer in the BOP out the philadelphia area. I've been in for a 1 1/2 years and it was the best decision I've made.

i know some people from FDC philly at butner. and yep you aint lying, im on M/W cadre A, off sunday monday, i do about 4 doubles a week , Tuesday thru Friday, 8 and to the gate on my friday and chill on the weekends. thinking about cutting back on my OT in 2025, done ran it up on em!!💰💵🤑😂
@@TheGhettoBodybuilder my mother lives near butner and wants me to move my family down there. She a 30 min drive from there. Our captain just took a promotion and coming back to butner. He told me to let him know if i decide to transfer over there. Get that money young brother. I try to do atleast 2 OT's per pay.
@Princeofsp215 what you thinking? its a good spot, you know it got its fair share of workplace drama but what spot doesn’t? im originally from ohio, went to college and started the BOP in west Virginia at FCI McDowell. i love North Carolina, got a house 10 minutes from the prison in Creedmoor
@@TheGhettoBodybuilder nice. If something out of custody catches my eye, I may consider the move. Only thing I may be taking a pay cut coming there becuz the locality pay is different.
@@Princeofsp215 you’ll make it up with a OT shift. those bonuses they’re giving the new people $10-20k is only a extra 200 or so on the check, thats 1 other
I just got done with my final Interview. I am going to start off as a CO4. I will be making $4,026 a month plus plenty of overtime. I will be working at the Coffeiled Maximum security prison in Tennessee Colony, Texas. I am extremely excited and nervous. I am so happy I got this job
I worked for the Mass DOC and the money is excellent. Shift differential, uniform maintenance, OT, and my health insurance was 5 bucks a week for a family plan BC/BS PPO. DOC has the best bargaining level in the state.
@TheGhettoBodybuilder thank you brother GOD Blessed can I become a correctional officer if on the past I was on probation and finished everything pay for everything but it like 9 to 10 years ago can I still apply?
I have worked in federal law enforcement for 15 years now. I have worked for 3 different federal law enforcement agencies to include the BOP (Bureau of Prisons). Now my 2nd cents: The BOP is one of the lowest federal law enforcement agencies as far as pay. Federal correctional officers are paid at the GS (GL) 5-8. In comparison the CBP officers are at the GS 5-12 and that’s a staggering pay increase. Even Border Patrol is GS 5-12. So keep that in mind if you want a job with the feds as a CO (correctional officer). Now the bad news. The retirement as a federal law enforcement is the lowest versus a local or state law enforcement officer. For example in Florida a law enforcement officer or a state correctional officer will get 70% of their salary for a pension after 20 years but a BOP officer will only get 34%. So yes as a BOP correctional officer may get more pay but in the end you are on the bread line when you retire. So if you want to be a CO for a career I suggest you get a job with the county sheriff’s office as a CO or the state as a CO. Remember it’s the end game you are working so hard for. So yes the BOP CO can make 6 figures working nonstop overtime but is it really worth it when they will only give you 34% of your salary after busting your ass for 20 years (they do not count the overtime when calculating the federal pension) when you could of worked for the Florida department of corrections or at the sheriffs office as a detention deputy (CO) and get 70% of your salary (they do count overtime for the pension) when you retire. Think real hard before you make the wrong choice. I will retire as a GS -12 pension but will still make less in pension than my best friend who did 20 years as a local detention deputy (CO). Stay far away from the BOP due to the lack of training, the low moral and very low pension. I mean COME ON!, the BOP academy is only 3 weeks and their firearms qualification course the officers only have to shoot at the 7 yard line and this is embarrassing. There isn’t even a physical fitness standard at the BOP. It is very common to see an officer well over 300lbs working inside a housing unit 😂.
Correction officers get paid good money I make about 2600 dollars every two weeks and I work for Arkansas Department of Corrections at minimum security facility overtime will always be there.I work at the wrightsville unit in Arkansas been there for about 9 months now. I’m able to live comfortably and have nice housing law enforcement is where it’s at. Best career I have right now. If you work hard and do overtime every week you’ll be living a luxurious life
Just want to thank you for your words❤. Im a mother of 3 boys in Louisiana a poor state. I thought about corrections and my family immediately told me no and money isnt everything. Its everything wyen you dont have it. Why not support me why not let me step outside my comfort zone so I can see what I want out of life. Thank you
Listen up, don’t ever let somebody stop you from doing what’s best for you and your boys! its plenty women working in corrections making a successful career out of it. At the end of the day, you’re in the driver seat of your life. Its all about you and what you want out of life. I just posted a video today talking to women interested in corrections
MANNN! LOL, i feel you on this, go back & watch a couple of my videos i did a while back. I’m talking about all the OT money thats available in these prisons, its like you’re printing your own golden ticket on Willy Wonka. All of the videos are on my corrections officer playlist on my channel! 💰💵 🫡
Thanks man love the videos you got hella wisdom ty for sharing just applied cause you! tired of security for no pay and i got a baby on the way i needa provide for gotta get serious bout my pay!
i’ve been a corrections officer for 13 years now, started at a county jail in WV, the most i made there was $43k back in 2012, i joined the BOP federal prison, worked 2 different institutions one in WV, currently down at NC. Its been UP🚀 from there, the past 6-7 years, ive made over $100,000 with OT every year. its been a blessing. Definitely apply, can change your whole life. We got mouths to feed bro, if you get on, put as much as you can in your retirement account, i take alot of that OT money im making and invest it in stocks & crypto in my personal accounts, and i buy stocks my daughters college fund
After seeing this video, I’ve decided to drop out of the corrections process. I’m happy you posted that but this is something I wanted to do for a very long time but my lifestyle is a custom to making no less than 80 per year at 40 to 50 I couldn’t even afford my house and car let alone feed my children in my area California to 40-50 your living 3 deep in a studio apartment.
@@coreypierce7757 The whole video is stating that not to be discouraged by the base pay as that isn't a direct reflection of what you will actually make if you don't mind the overtime, don't cheat yourself out of a great career by getting in your own way
Damn it's good to see another brotha who I am like-minded with.making a monthly budget and paying myself first by Investing in retirement, real estate, ranches, Roth IRA, stocks (and physical gold & silver for me 'hint-hint' lol). And living below our means. 37 here, never married and only one child who will be grown soon. And I love stacking up some good money and traveling the world when I finally take vacation. And i'm still enjoying these broads but never giving them a dollar, until I marry someday. I digress.. I just got out the military with 100% disability from the VA (as we spoke about in your other video) and already have my daughter's college paid for via passing down my Texas Hazlewood Act to her (from joining the Army/military in TX). One other question I have for you is: Is there ever any down time to do small tasks like read a book while on shift? Of course CO's should always be excelling at their tasks; rather it be scheduled or not. I am hoping and planning to get hired at a min sec location and I wonder if I will have any time to do college course work while on shift. Or is that a common No-Go? If such a thing is possible, I would prefer working nights, as I used to manage luxury hotels overnight and was able to do course work. I'm a year away from getting my 2nd degree in a field that coincides with law enforcement, and will be heading to law school next year... My bad for the lengthy comment/questions. I'm that guy who researches the hell out of my next career and life move like crazy so I will know what to expect and have a easier time. The Army was a breeze for me, even as a Designated Marksman Cav Scout in a Infantry honor platoon; all because I picked brains. Stay up bro, Thanks
you making power plays out here forreal! keep doing what you doing, you on your way. And its plenty down time to read a book, i ALWAYS keep a book in my workbag. the BOP feds, have a computer with internet access in most of the offices on the unit, so im usually taking advantage working on the youtube channel, researching ides, topics to talk about, ways to grow my channel, researching my next business venture this online fitness coaching in the near future, in between rounds & what work i have to do. lot of down time as a c/o on the unit, pretty routine most days, take advantage, they’ll be paying you to sit and build up your empire 🫡
@@TheGhettoBodybuilder that's what's up. Thank you... And I just recieved an official interview appointment today via email. It's for FMC Carswell. I've seen pretty much all seasoned CO's say that it's worse to work at an all women's facility. And all the reasons they gave made perfect sense. So doing so at the mental health women's facility is probably going to be twice (insert your own views here lmao)... But I hope they will be cool with me doing overnight shifts, or swing shifts. No matter what I get, I'll work it out. Especially with the oppurtunities for overtime you talk about.
I am in the process of becoming a CO. Can you make a video of these two topics * where do they place new co’s? Do you pick what level security you go into , do they place you based on your physical atributes ( body build , age etc ) * i also have a beard. Do i have to shave or i can keep my beard , i also have a nose piercing.
i got you. depends on the agency you’re applying to. the county jail i was at we had to shave, the feds where im at now, you can have a beard down to your stomach and nose ring
yeah, i seen people get hired on with the feds that worked as a security guard. That counts as a year of specialized experience. Even if they said they won’t take you, you can always work at a county jail or state prison for a year, get your experience and then apply for the feds if thats your ultimate end goal
@@TheGhettoBodybuilder appreciate the response I’m based in Illinois so it would be IDOC. Probably just give them a call tomorrow to check I’m attending a screening sept 4th but could save myself some time by finding that out. Keep achieving greatness bro much luv.
Thank you for this information and for your honesty and transparency, I have a question, I’m interested to apply for the BOP as a correctional officer. I have a bachelor degree in Criminal Justice but not work experience, Can I apply as a GL07? Or I have to start as a GL06
Don't work harder, work smarter. He's talking about working back to back double shifts. Those are long never ending shifts. You are owned and imprisoned. That's working harder. Working smarter is getting promoted and moving up rank. Getting specialized training. And going to college to learn something else. The better idea is to work less and make more money.
Have you ever worked in a correctional environment? You are not owned or imprisoned. I work tons of overtime and never feel that way. Once I get off my regular shifts, I normally do overtime at the local hospital babysitting an inmate while watching Netflix or might take an inmate to an outside medical appointment. Trust me we are not doing any hard work. However, you do have individuals who make the job harder than it's has to be.
@@TexasMade903 I think you know what I meant, you don't sound like a dummy. My point was not to work a lot of hours to get more money, but to work less hours and get big money. That's what the word "harder" infers to. As to the intellectual challenges the job entails, its not rocket science. No offense, that's why there's basically no college requirements. But it is emotionally stressful working in a violent and dangerous environment where anything can happen.
they drug test you when you start. most agencies random drug too. i went 5 years from my start date no drug tests, then randomly got drug tested 3 times in a two month period
@brandongoodman8539 shyt im not sure bro, i think they’re mainly testing for cocaine, crack, heroin, things like that. i would google it what other people are saying though to be safe. you may be good if its just testosterone replacement
@brandongoodman8539 i googled it i think they’re mainly testing for marijuana, cocaine, drugs like that. ive never ran into that predicament sorry cant be more helpful
im editing the video on this topic as we speak. imma drop it sometime this week or next week. you don’t necessarily need it, the only reason i went to college and got my degree in criminal justice was because i had got a football scholarship, couldn’t turn down that opportunity
You have to lock it up in your locker. You can’t even bring in gum. Most require a clear backpack and you’re scanned and patted down before entering the building
@@TheGhettoBodybuilder thanks for your time! I just passed the written exam 75% what do you think I can qualify for based on your experience? I am located in Sacramento and Placer County California
I’m looking into this here in Jersey I am currently in the low voltage field but want to change careers far as financially being. But I am a LPR can I still apply?
@chris-ui5pn 😂 when i worked the county jail, i read books & magazines in between rounds. the feds have a computer in the office on the unit i can surf the net, look up topics for my videos
the state and county you may have to shave. when i worked county jail, we could only have a mustache. the federal prison im at now, you can have a beard down to your belly button like Duck Dynasty and no one will say nothing 🤣
you can join with your spouse, but its usually rules like you can’t be one another’s supervisor. its plenty people who are married and work at my prison. just be careful and make sure yall’s relationship is solid. its some sharks up there, ya dude co workers a know yall are married and still try and holler at your ol lady. might have to put on the boxing gloves in the work parking lot after work 🥊 🫡💯😂
Look at the interstate bill boards in GA and TN all you see is 30-40k lol it ain’t worth it , especially if you a CO in Hayes state in trion GA or any of them in GA
I was watching videos on the agility test and the algorithm brought me here! This video was very insightful, Thank you! I’m in the hiring process now . Taking my agility test next week. Do you have any advice for females on the verge of joining corrections?
Mannnn, i be seeing some co workers bring in some crazy shyt to work, like space heaters, oven microwaves to cook their food on the unit 😂😂😂, you’re not supposed to but nobody really says anything. i just mind my business! i keep a book in my bookbag in case im working an assignment that doesn’t have a office and computers, my food of course 💯😂, & plenty of snacks. A puzzle book should be fine, just dont bring in the obvious No No’s like a pocket knife, handgun, or anything crazy that supervisors may look at you crazy for trying to bring behind the wall!

He's talking about working back to back double shifts. Those are long never ending shifts. You are owned and imprisoned. That's working harder.
Working smarter is getting promoted and moving up rank. Getting specialized training. And going to college to learn something else. The better idea is to work less and make more money.
Have you ever worked in a correctional environment? You are not owned or imprisoned. I work tons of overtime and never feel that way. Once I get off my regular shifts, I normally do overtime at the local hospital babysitting an inmate while watching Netflix or might take an inmate to an outside medical appointment. Trust me we are not doing any hard work. However, you do have individuals who make the job harder than it's has to be.
@@TexasMade903 I think you know what I meant, you don't sound like a dummy. My point was not to work a lot of hours to get more money, but to work less hours and get big money. That's what the word "harder" infers to.
As to the intellectual challenges the job entails, its not rocket science. No offense, that's why there's basically no college requirements.
But it is emotionally stressful working in a violent and dangerous environment where anything can happen.
you know i alresdy know where you coming bruh, keep doin what you doing, best kept secret 🤫🫡💰💯
My first year as sheriffs corrections I made 80k
sky’s the limit!
I’m thinking about it doing it.. im tired of living paycheck to paycheck. to be honest I’m scared for my life any tips?
everybody is scared when they start, just gotta get time on the job & learn the policy and what to do
@@TheGhettoBodybuilder thank you , your videos are inspiring
What type of perks or benefits does vets get, do we get seniority over people over our class? How does it work?
yall get preference and pushed higher on the list of applicants for alot of jobs. some jobs the BOP puts out is only available for vets
What’s the difference between Correctional Security Guard and correctional officers
same thing honestly
What is a good way to quit corrections.
What kind of drug test do they do ?
they drug test you when you start. most agencies random drug too. i went 5 years from my start date no drug tests, then randomly got drug tested 3 times in a two month period
@@TheGhettoBodybuilder is it like a typical drug test panel they only reason I asked is because I’m on trt no script tho
@brandongoodman8539 shyt im not sure bro, i think they’re mainly testing for cocaine, crack, heroin, things like that. i would google it what other people are saying though to be safe. you may be good if its just testosterone replacement
@brandongoodman8539 i googled it i think they’re mainly testing for marijuana, cocaine, drugs like that. ive never ran into that predicament sorry cant be more helpful
Uce, do we really get the sign on bonus? Or incentive? And if so, how long does it take to get it
talked to my homie who got hired on at BOP last year, he said it took 3 weeks to get his. i think its $10 k bonus
would you reccomend getting a degree in criminology before going into corrections?
im editing the video on this topic as we speak. imma drop it sometime this week or next week. you don’t necessarily need it, the only reason i went to college and got my degree in criminal justice was because i had got a football scholarship, couldn’t turn down that opportunity
Nope do it while you have the job
Nice
appreciate you tuning in
YO you took 23K out of college, in WV? What were your student loan payments like
i was on a football scholarship, i only had like 5k in student loans when i graduated
Can you bring your phone at all, to keep in a locker or something? Or leave phone in car during shift?
no ma’am no phones allowed! lol
You have to lock it up in your locker. You can’t even bring in gum. Most require a clear backpack and you’re scanned and patted down before entering the building
Cook county jail is 64,205 base
With your work schedule being long sometimes when were you going to the gym???
im here right now, 2nd workout today
@@TheGhettoBodybuilder so the days where you work 12 hour shift are you going right after work? Or you sleeping then going?

Can you bring your personal phone in to use while you work?
nah gotta leave it in the car or a locker
@@TheGhettoBodybuilder oh damn that makes sitting around a little tougher 😂
@chris-ui5pn 😂 when i worked the county jail, i read books & magazines in between rounds. the feds have a computer in the office on the unit i can surf the net, look up topics for my videos
@@TheGhettoBodybuilder that’s probably a better use of time than tiktok anyways lol. Are you able to call out to loved ones if you’re working late?
@chris-ui5pn trust me, they got all social media, gambling, auction sites blocked 😅 & yeah you can make a call from the prison if you need to
Good one Can a man leave his bear on
the state and county you may have to shave. when i worked county jail, we could only have a mustache. the federal prison im at now, you can have a beard down to your belly button like Duck Dynasty and no one will say nothing 🤣
@@TheGhettoBodybuilderThank you joining you soon
@t7entertainment878 yezzir! lets get it, time to get this bread they passing around like candy 🤑
Can one join with spouse
you can join with your spouse, but its usually rules like you can’t be one another’s supervisor. its plenty people who are married and work at my prison. just be careful and make sure yall’s relationship is solid. its some sharks up there, ya dude co workers a know yall are married and still try and holler at your ol lady. might have to put on the boxing gloves in the work parking lot after work 🥊 🫡💯😂

Bro you just convinced me to take the leap of faith
lets get it!
I start training next week but for future reference what are some items are you allowed to have on post/duty , books, puzzles , snacks etc
Mannnn, i be seeing some co workers bring in some crazy shyt to work, like space heaters, oven microwaves to cook their food on the unit 😂😂😂, you’re not supposed to but nobody really says anything. i just mind my business! i keep a book in my bookbag in case im working an assignment that doesn’t have a office and computers, my food of course 💯😂, & plenty of snacks. A puzzle book should be fine, just dont bring in the obvious No No’s like a pocket knife, handgun, or anything crazy that supervisors may look at you crazy for trying to bring behind the wall!
@@TheGhettoBodybuilderwould a laptop count as something crazy or do you think that would be fine? I'm getting on the job soon
nah no laptops bro
Thanks for the video
