Default Re: Corrections Officer

I work as a civilian in a county jail, not a CO, but I've seen enough and heard enough to know that training and conditions (and the salary) vary widely depending on the governing authority. The County COs here in Vegas go through the same academy as patrol officers, and have better pay, better training, better security than the state prison guys. I'm not sure if this holds true everywhere though.
