Male vs Female Prisons

I have never worked in a female prison, nor ever care to. I have heard too many horror stories about how bad they are compared to male prisons. So.........everyone, do you work in a female or male prison/jail? and i am curious to hear about what it's like to work at a female unit, esp for someone who has worked at male units too, and compare. just curious...........

Re: Male vs Female Prisons

I'm also interested in female prisons as I'm contemplating working @ the female prison here in Cali. Any input will be greatly appreciated.

I work in a 1300 bed female max security DCC facility, not quite sure by what you mean about them being worse than a male facility. I know that we havless inmate assults on staff incident, But women are more needy , have > healthcare concerns and are more manipulative than I believe males are. Females seem to hve less respect for authority than mle inmates and are more vocal about their complaints. Women are also less likely to sue than their male counterparts, more mouth no action. That is what it like to work in a female institution in a nutshell. Any further questuions and I will be happy to answer them.
