@@taymoula563it is not a great career 🤦🏽‍♂️😂 85% of law enforcement suicidal deaths are from corrections. It mentally drains you, get use to working 18hrs.

[@EriCapone01]

not saying it’s a bad career but you’ll definitely get stressed out with coworkers & inmates, I worked at willacy county for 3 years then transferred to tdcj thinking it would be more structured & cos would take rank seriously…that wasn’t the case at all lol, Half of the time i worked with lazy officers who wouldn’t do nothing but sit in the picket all day & sleep…so i called it quits & decided to join the military instead
