Reblflowrs

I see you're from Natchitoches? I lived in NW La for 22 yrs..went to nursing school in Shreveport..tho an LPN.. what correctional facility do you work at there? I worked for WIllis Knighton when I was in La but reloacted to Va where I now work in a 400+ capacity jail...and it's always over filled.. I like it so far...but ask me in a year lol...

I recently started work here in a city jail in Va..The starting pay was $23,350.00 a year. I had previously moved here from Louisiana where wages were better, but had worked a yr and a half (here)in a cardiology office ( a VERY busy one) for less than this.. We are always in the company of an officer or one very close..never in a room alone with one.. I don't feel insecure. We have 400+ inmates on 3 floors. The more dangerous inmates are held in a high tech maximum security environment. The worst thing I can say ( aside from the pay) is that most of these people are habitual drug users and alcoholics...most are hep b or c pos...and a lot have aids.. But in Va...the pay is low, so I opted for better benefits.
