I worked max in my county right after I graduated H.S to 21 yrs when I got my P.O. license and went patrol. The main thing I remember is how much respect for life/people you lose working the floors. Things may have changed with the newer correctional set ups vs. what we did nearly 30 yrs ago. Several of the guys I worked with went Federal and made retirement. They seemed to enjoy it. I wish your son the best of luck

For what it is worth the state's standards have dropped. I think some ex-felons are working there now.....lots of folks from some African areas are working there too. I have hired several folks (County Jailers)that worked at TDCJ and they didn't like it at all. Some can do it, lot's can't. If he has no ties to home, I would suggest the fed route. Just my thoughts. If he gets in, he will know pretty quick if he likes it or not. Good luck to him.

retired after 18yrs with t.d.c.j worked max, med and transfer unit, the inmates were never a problem, had alot of use of forces but it was just part of the job , never personal, what drives alot of people out it the admint, they spend more time on harping about employees than offenders, it is a thankless job, and at the end of the day your just a number, i would suggest he take a long look at what he enjoys doing the most and find a job in that field.
