Working In Prison Research Paper

Working in a prison is hard work and dedication. As a correctional officer, you have to deal with inmate’s problems and concerns, protect them from harm, and it can at time be dangerous for the staff. When I first started as an officer, the pay was the only thing that motivated me but as time went on, I began to love my job, which motivated me to become a sergeant. I was proud to be a corrections officer. My uniform was always clean and starched with my boots shined. The way people viewed me in my uniform gave me that extra confidence I needed to do my job. But having pride and confidence is only a small portion of the job. Working in the corrections field, officers play a major role dealing with the inmates. Officers are often tested by inmates.
