Some may say a great pay rise , but i know a prison officer and yes he is on a lot of money but for that he can be on call at different prisons throughout the country for weeks and even months at a time, and the things that can and do go wrong inside the prisons can have a great effect on your life, he has been beaten , had broken bones, and has been taken as a prisoner too. but he is still there.
So its not for everyone , no matter what the pay is.
The biggest problem he says now are the new people who are running certain prisons through out the country, group 4 i think, and they seem to employ any tom dick or harry, plus Jane to do a job that they are not trained properly for .
