I had an interview at the local jail about a month ago. They told me it was a very interesting and rewarding job. But that you really have to have tough skin. Especially as a female. The director told me all kinds of stories about what the inmates will do or say to you. She also told me about the well behaved inmates who later in life would thank her for bringing to their attention that they have HTN, Diabetes, etc. Basically told them things about their health they never knew because they rarely saw a Dr. I decided it wasn't for me. But if you don't mind caring for new people every shift (they are in and out of jail frequently) and if you don't mind having inmates say dirty things or call you names then I think it would be a pretty cool job. Plus you are working for a government job and that can be good financially and for holidays.
