/----/ Well, it's FA-FO time in old Virginny. What I don't get is what's in it for the guard? How does he get paid?

 

[Blaster]

Who hired that guy?

I'm not too familiar with this Level 3 prison as it was completed about a year before I retired.

LOL....I'm just surprised that someone named Raekwon even lives down that way as it's an old coal town.

The depressed coal towns are why Virginia started to build prisons down that way to have jobs for those folks that remained.

Sounds like Virginia better do a better vetting process and increase their pay substantially.

Was this guy a DEI hire?

/----/ A neighbor worked as a prison guard. He said the job is a 20 year prison sentence that allows you to go home at night and on weekends. During the day, you're surrounded by the worst elements of society who would kill you in a heartbeat.

Agreed. And because they are state workers about half of the people decry that prison guards are overpaid and under worked. It's the same old empty rhetoric about state workers that is nauseating.

No idea nor do I care. People aren't standing in line to take those jobs. In fact there's shortages. Time to double the pay and time off.

Nothing new under the sun, especially since they allow women to work inside VDOC prisons.

VDOC in most larger facilities, have their own investigator.....They stay busy with that type of thing.

The closer you get to Richmond the worse it is. Black staff are always "tricking-n-trading" with the convicts. I've seen many put in cuffs for bringing in drugs.

LOL....I once caught a black guard with a baggie of weed stuffed into his revolver holster trying to get through the gate one morning before we put the convicts out on the road.

I cuffed, then frog marched his ass right into an isolation cell till the State Police showed up to formally arrest him. He got three years.

/----/ If they think it's an easy job, why don't they apply?

They could never do the job. Plus they think only themselves are worthy of high pay. Being a prison guard should entail 6 figure salaries plus 8 to 10 weeks off to cope with the stress.

We used to work a 12 hours a day 7 days-on and 7 days-off schedule and lived in barracks on site.

When you took a shift off on vacation you were off 21 days.....It was great!

They work mostly a 12 hour 4 days-on 3-days off schedule now. It really sucks for the night shift.

Only the few remaining old road camps work a 7-on/7-off schedule and that might have changed by now.
