  1. > Nearly a third of officers at high-security prisons have fewer than three years of experience, official figures show, fuelling concerns about safety and “grooming” of staff by the most dangerous criminals in the country.

    I think what that mainly tells you is no one thinks it is a good career.

  2. Are there any prison abolitionists here? I’d love to hear from you.

  3. Happened to a friend of mine. I don’t know the full story so whether she was groomed before getting the job or after, but within 12 months she was on the inside herself for smuggling.

  4. The daughter of a friend of mine has just turned 18 and has applied to work in the local prison. I just cannot even begin to understand it. It’s known to be a bad prison, too, housing *the worst.*

    Honestly I wouldn’t do the job for less than a million net per year.
