Working in the jail.

[Unregistered]

How is the culture working in the jail? I have 15+ years working in a county jail, and am thinking of applying. There were 600 inmates when I started in my old jail and when I left we had 1500. Does your Sheriff and command staff show support for staff? Or is it a "hang them out to dry" attitude, if you're not " one of the boys"? Thanks in advance for any honest answers. Stay Safe

You have to be one of the boys. 15 years means nothing to them. They will use you and ruin you.

SO it's like most of the other counties around here. Not how you work, it's who you know or who you blow? Thanks for the heads up.

So is your 15 years more important than the 5 years of someone that has been there already?

Morale is at it's lowest. Work ethics are extremely affected by staff shortage, poor leadership, lack of respect for each other. Booking Lt. has no respect for her staff. She continuously creates hostile work environments. An embarrassment to the badge, the agency and to those who work under her authority.
Sadly, the detention staff is rarely acknowledged for their hard work, dedication and sacrifices.

Teresa is a waste of oxygen anyway. All she does is brag about her half-$$ed resume; and pretend she is a real Deputy. But she’s from Pasco, so you know how that goes
