Not worked for those.
i worked for Donovan in san diego, and i have been at salinas valley for about a year.
donovan was bad.
SVSP is good, more teamwork, less backstabbing.
feel safer too, even though its a higher level prison than SD.
next year the RN are going to make 100k/year.

The name of the prison is valley state for women in the central valley. I understand that they changed from MTA positions to LVN (saftey). Was your interview with a panel.
