Idk if any of y’all remember me but my names Kyzer McCarthy and I feel like I should tell y’all that I came in and out of that system from MEC to the Detention Center to John G and now I have a wife 3 beautiful girls and have a full time job as a residential contractor I’ve made a pretty massive turn around from what I was in the past
Nice job man. Most of the people who come through DJJ end up in prison, sadly. I remember hearing somewhere it’s a crazy high percentage go on to be career criminals. Similar to you, I was in DJJ several times. UEC, the detention center on Shivers Rd, MEC(we would go there when transferred to camps), Camp Long, and of course my local county detention. I’m always proud to know I got out of that lifestyle and doing well now. Also married with 2 girls and work in residential maintenance. Funny how similar that sounds to your post, down to having similar jobs. Anyways, nice work man on not being another hopeless criminal.
Great Job thanks for the message 🤍🤍
😊😊
Worked there for many years and this is NOT an accurate representation of how it is to work at DJJ. Hours are long, pay is POOR, and if you’re not one of the directors “faves” you’ll be overlooked. Just ask those working in the IG’s/public safety office. Interview those who can give you an actual inside instead of a company “Stan” like Barnett!
I was at a camp behind John G but CeC was a headache
Sadly, the reality of working in such a place is probably NOT as depicted in this very nice presentational promotional video. I really don`t mean that in a derogatory sense either. The staff of DJJ are obviously engaged in this work for the right reasons and really do want to change the direction of the lives of the young people that they are there to serve. The US incarcerates more people per capita than any other industrialized nation with overcrowding and environmental stresses unfairly endured by both staff and the young offenders. Further, the US judicial system seem to be very punitive and does very little to help those make better life choices which, in turn, is directly the fault of the judicial system either but something far more multilayered and complex.
