New Correctional Officers: Overtime Pays Off At Prisons - Make That Money!

[@MarcusForest-y5i]

I’m a state correction officer for state of Ohio it’s same here overtime is unlimited

[@TheGhettoBodybuilder]

lovely! take advantage of it

[@lapree5419]

Any specific advice for female officers joining and being successful in this field?

[@Hbthegoat17]

Say no, don’t be to friendly, if they say something out of pocket check them, if they flash you with their d*** write them up, don’t get into drama, don’t sleep with staff, don’t be lazy. U gotta realize. Those dudes are locked up for a reason, be fair yet don’t let them run over u

[@TheGhettoBodybuilder]

@Hbthegoat17 great advice

[@TheGhettoBodybuilder]

fair firm & consistent, give them what they got coming, when in doubt call your supervisor and follow the post orders policy

[@victoryoung9221]

[@TheGhettoBodybuilder]

@JAMUSA2018 6 days and a wake up call! lets get it

[@Titannz213]

just got into corrections in New Zealand..Your videos helped. I love the idea of 12 hr shifts then 3-4 days off straight plus 6 weeks annual leave, perfect

[@TheGhettoBodybuilder]

for sure

[@thomasryan2679]

I was close to homelessness when hired. I worked every overtime position I could get. This includes funeral escorts, hospital watch, and floors. There were times I slept and ate at the jail. In 5 years, I saved enough to buy a 5-bedroom home.

Rags to riches! 🫡👍🏽

[@KenWalker-xi7ic]

Ayeee

[@alexyoung7371]

Why did you move from the county jail to the Fed?

[@TheGhettoBodybuilder]

more money, less work

[@AmericanSupremacy.]

Yall lookin to get in, ima help you expedite this process...you gonna need your HS transcript (official copy), birth certificate, SS card, certified background check (FROM EVERY STATE YOUVE EVER LIVED IN).

[@TheGhettoBodybuilder]

for sure!

[@rooseveltjohnson5451]

Do I need to wait till they ask for it to submit it, or can I submit it now?

[@TheGhettoBodybuilder]

@rooseveltjohnson5451 call em & try to submit. its best to call HR at whatever institution you’re applying for, & work directly with them

[@ElizabethMensah-jr7ef]

Do you always gotta talk on the walkie?

[@TheGhettoBodybuilder]

hell yeah, that’s like the equivalent of a police officer’s gun when you working on the inside

[@RobertSimmons-kn3tk]

What do you do to past time during your 8hour shift as a rookie

[@TheGhettoBodybuilder]

best advice is to stay up and active on the unit. learning the job, getting to know the inmates and who’s who on your unit, doing cell searches, letting the inmates know what you expect when you working the unit & developing that working relationship with them

[@pfcmortensen]

About to hit my six months. Also start 3rd shift. Cannot wait. So so true on the OT and holiday information.

[@TheGhettoBodybuilder]

im glad you liking it so far, keep going! the sky is the limit 🚀🫡

[@Natedog97]

Do veterans get like a boost in pay or anything?

[@Natedog97]

And do u prefer day or night shift

[@TheGhettoBodybuilder]

you get preference in the hiring process often ive heard, & i hear some vets say they bought back their military time working in the feds. night shift ive been on 6 years now, its cool but i wanna eventually go to day shift so i can get proper rest every night

[@davidavendano7737]

Lol Im that guy with a stop and slow paddle in 100 degrees right now. I feel you brotha, ima be outa here soon and be a CO in 4 months.

[@rooseveltcayard3365]

Can you do college part-time and work in the prison at the same time? Is it doable?

[@TheGhettoBodybuilder]

its possible, dont expect them to fully accommodate you so you can attend college on campus full time. most people do online classes while at the prison. i was in my senior year of college when i started working county jail. stayed on night shift, went on campus during the day for my classes

[@rooseveltcayard3365]

Alright 💪🏾

[@TheGhettoBodybuilder]

@rooseveltcayard3365 online classes probably your best bet. i aint even lie to you, i done seen nurses or c/o’s at my prison, get they master degree sitting right there on the unit with the inmates doing they school work on the computer in the office

[@AllAloneFighting]

Just started in the sheriff's office. 12 hrs rotating. So much info to learn

[@TheGhettoBodybuilder]

we all was a rookie at some point, you’ll be good

[@cedrickhaggard1981]

Hey have ever worked at a Supermax prison?

[@TheGhettoBodybuilder]

no but we have supermax inmates at my facility for medical reasons

[@restockshock2710]

how many hours do you work bro? you think I can make 6 figures if I put in 80hrs per week? how many hours do I gotta work to make 6 figures? I get paid $22 an hour bro and the biweekly is set to $1760 on my appointment rate) So I'm tryna really put in my grind to make that paper. I got a goal to get my first house and these houses out here in FL are 350-400k+ on the low end in places like orlando like 500k is the average bro. Any advice appreciated tryna make a grind out there as a Rookie.

[@TheGhettoBodybuilder]

you should be able to hit 100k for sure if you grinding, my base salary is 73k i clocked $158k with OT last year

[@mistersadaimusic]

Putting in 80 hours will burn you out and destroy your body, but yeah you can clear 100k if you do that. Take hourly*40*52 = A hourly*1.5*40*52 = B A + B = rough idea of what your base pay and every day OT will do before differentials, Sunday, and holiday pay.

[@restockshock2710]

@@mistersadaimusic bro I'm all about my paper burnout ain't in my language fam I've done 72hr weeks consistently before back when i worked as a cna in 2019 and this was pre-pandemic btw when we got paid pennies and I drove out 1hr to work everyday) if anything I rather deal with 80hr weeks in a prison just cause I'll actually get paid for my time put in general I understand most people can't handle that life and I get it they got family or other things to deal with but I'm desperate to make a positive change in my life so it's lightwork stressing over getting jumped or w/e in prison by inmates I've gotten slapped or hit without pay before and been jumped back when I was a kid so really it ain't scary if you dealt with it before or you know god got your back gotta be positive in this job bro just cause alot of people be negative complaining about every little thing in corrections from what i hear most will never understand it's definitely not for everyone but if you've been broke like me struggling to make ends meet working hard is the only way to get it for me. so Ima do what I gotta do so I can payoff my car, get a house, and save up for my and my familys future. This job definitely got alot of cons but the positives keep me pursuing a career in it! Especially if I can make 100k a year cause most hard working jobs ain't raking in that paper like that unfortunately where I'm currently at i'm limited to 56k per year but no worry once i'm done with my contract of 2yrs I'ma bounce to the feds and get a real paycheck

[@blksheep176]

Have you ever gotten any bodily fluids thrown on you?

[@TheGhettoBodybuilder]

😂 hell naw, knock on wood!!! dude tried to throw some water out the toilet one time at the county jail, i finessed him and jumped to the side real quick! always look into they window see if they got anything in their hand before you open they food slot

[@johnny5735]
