well, misdermeaner's arn't that bad. You can try anyway. I'm sure someone will hire you, just be honest with them. Beside, most only ask about felonies.

It wiil show up.Just look for jobs that only ask if you have been convicted in the last 5 or 7 years.That way you can say no.Also,you can just put down that you'll discuss it in the interview,then ask for one.I had the same problem,but it can be worked around.Besides,I wouldn't want to work anywhere the wouldn't excuse past mistakes.What is important is what you are doing now,and how the experience can be used to benefit others.It doesn't have to be a negetive.Look for jobs that your experience can be used to your advantage.I became an Addictions Counselor.Now I make $70 per hour,per person,and I don't do  groups smaller than 20 people.That's $1400 an hour,three times a week,and insurance pays it.Not bad for a convicted felon,huh?So use this to your advantage,it can be done.Don't give up,and good luck to you.

The Terre Haute prison is a Federal Prison run by the Bureau of Prisons (BOP).  The BOP website has information about applying to be a correctional officer: http://www.bop.gov/jobs/job_descriptions/correctional_officer.jsp

Jails don't have wardens - prisons have wardens.  Jail has administrative positions but the top job is Sheriff.  As for other positions, you can be a correctional officer and you can work different positions as a CO.  You can work the floors - you can work transport = taking the inmates to and from court/hospital.  You can also work intake and releasal (doing all the paperwork for the inmates that are coming in and leaving.  If you have a medical background you can work in the medical dept.  There is also classification (to see where the inmates should be housed depending on their medical status or if they are gang related/violent or low risk).  I am not sure if the ID dept is considered civilian or if they are officers (they get the finger prints & photos and forward copies of arrest reports to other law enforcement agencies.   They also have some civilian positions - such as in the kitchen.  I am sure that there are alot of other positions, those are just some that I could think of.    They pay isn't much and the population that you have to deal with can be tough at times.  Over all I would think its a good job.  There is certainly job security in that field!

I work in a medium-maximum security jail.  I am a stock clerk and what I do is when someone gets arrested I get their clothing after they are searched, I sort the clothing and enter the inventory into a computer then I place the clothing first in a brown paper bag then a hanging garment bag.  It is not a very prestigious job, but it pays my mortgage and has good health benefits and retirement.  I do my job well and most people like me. I am a bit ashamed that I have a dead end job but this is all I am good for.

That would depend on what he was put in for in the first place....Factory jobs arnet very glamorous but they generally hire the most ex cons...He should just be upfront with them in the interview and some character references wouldnt hurt either...Good luck to him

Although I don't agree with the idea of you aiding this guy, you may want to call social services (or whatever they call it in your state) at the prison.  They will be able to answer all your questions and guide you in the right direction.  Good luck and make sure you keep those daughters safe whatever you do with him.

There are many community organizations that train convicted felons for the trades.  Also they have companies in line willing to hire properly trained men and women.  I don't know where you live so I can't direct you specifically to a certain one.  Try contacting your local employment office.  Their bulletin boards always have listings for these organizations.

I would tell the inmate:\n\nYour parole officer should have some tips.  There are plenty of people who don't want you in prison rely on them and not on those who could care less. \n\nJust from a practical standpoint I don't want you in prison because you cost me money every day you are there.  Get out, get a job and earn your keep.  After all that is what you want to do anyway.  Sooner than you know it you will not have to check in with anyone and be a free man again.

Check in your Department of Corrections website for your state...all you should need is the inmates name in most cases,however some may be held in special units that aren't in the DOC lists

It's civil service. Go online and apply through civil service. Also call the prisons and see if they are hiring

Depends on the jail and who you want to see.  Call the place and just ask.

I have some gaps in my work history.  They aren't questioned.  If they do question, just say you were working outside of your profession, SAHM, federal prison, etc.

That depends on what jail they are in. Every place has different rules and the two best ways to find out are to ask the person you want to send something to or to call the administrative office of the jail and ask them what their mail policies are. Good luck, and if you're asking because you've chosen to stick by someone who is in a jam, Bless you!
