Been there and done that.  It's an easy test but you need to be consistent with your answers.  Remember, they will pose situations which are intended to determine how honest you are.  i.e.  If you knew that someone took $5 and paid it back, would you report them?  Of course, most would not report the individual but the test wants you to say yes.\n\nYou cannot study for the test.  It's common sense, math, verbal comprehension, and ethics.  Don't worry.  You'll pass.

I'm an ex-guard at a Georgia facility. His TPD (tentative parole date) is based on what he does while incarcerated. As long as he hasn't had any write-ups that resulted in extending his parole hearing, it will occur as scheduled. However, whether they parole him out is almost entirely dependant on whether he showed signs of improvement in there. Not pissing off the warden is a good start. Taking classes and going to counciling while you are there also improves your chances of being released. His release is controlled by politics... those of the prison he's in, those of the warden in his prison, and those of the state of Texas. In essence, he better have made alot more friends than enemies while he's been locked up. Best wishes.

The sheriff there would not allow it be given to a prisoner.  They are very restrictive there and have most amenities denied while they are incarcerated.  Prisoners are denied any special favors.  I'd suggest you hang on to that magazine until the individual gets released.

I was nervous as heck. I really wasn't sure what I was supposed to do or anything like that. I mean, I knew but since I had never done it, I was afraid of making a mistake. Luckily I had some other deputies there who kind of guided me along in the process.\n\nOf course, I trained for it over and over but nothing really prepared me for the feeling of arresting a person. I am sure my voice shook a little when I told him to turn around and put his hands behind his back. I know my hands shook as I put the cuffs on him.\n\nHe was arrested for public intoxication, and all the way to the jail, he was talking about how women always screw the man (he was at his g/f house outside drunk). She had called the cops on him. All the way there, I just agreed and told him how women can't be trusted and that he got screwed. I figured "hey, might as well agree with the guy, hes going to jail anyways".

Check with the state parole board.\n\nGenerally, the information is confidential, unless you are a prospective employer, and/or the parolee signs a waiver.\n\nWhat is your reason for wanting to contact the parole officer? Do you suspect that the parolee violated his parole, or commited a crime?

Very little.   Who's going to testify?   Prison is all about politics, trading and favors (hmmm, sounds like Washington DC, doesn't it?).   Say somebody shanks somebody in the yard.   Why did it happen in the first place?   Lover's quarrell?   Or did the shankee stiff someone else on a deal?  Is he going to tell?   The shanker sure as H isn't.  \n\n The other guys aren't going to piss of the shanker by ratting him out, unless they can do it later secretly to get themselves some good time points.    And the Staff would be crazy to take anyone's word for anything.\n\nIf caught, most get put in the hole for a little while.   Hurting another inmate is not like stabbing an old woman on the street.   No one cares except the inmate's family.    Fights and stabbings are common, and no big deal.   After all, it's prison. \n\nThere are no stats for this, this is just daily reality in prison.    Good luck with your paper.

I have some stuff to say on this: In a closed system some kinds of macro level insanity!  I was in mexican prison for a tad over two years for the offense of 'narcotraficante."  I studied the psychological components of the prisoner population.  A mini society of about 1500 males and 150 females.  Tensions of their particular blends of indidual frustration and impulsive too-long repressed anger fed into some people dying on several ocassions and this was studied from simple gangs killing one of each other's side over some trivial matter.  And another killing for one prisoner having been acused of a misdeed.  Ever more prisoners arriving and the crowding numbers reach for 1800 and on a calm warm day a clinic' drugged prisoner is shot dead between the fifteen-feet high brick wall and its paraelle twelve-foot chain-link fence.  Prisoners began to amass proximal the murder scene and within about twenty to thirty minutes the frustration and anger built to a crensendo.  A gun-tower guard had to be killed for sake of ballance and one was killed, in a most agonizing manner plus other injuries.  There's more on the gore but I'll spare you that data.  Americans know that they suffer immense frustrations with seemingly all implosive data pointing to how fu(ked we are and how we have apathy sublime.  The pot is a ways past warming and we have seen little pockets of social disorder in here and there in various city' riots.  We know that our society is gonna have to cycle a biggy one more time and when it does visit us it will but take the needed spark.  I'm sad we have let our society slip so far into our dung.  Our social-metality is producing few persons of reason.  History is ladden with examoles of these phenomena operant on macro levels.\nTreating the causes and less the symptoms could conceiveably place us into The Age of Reason and oh how a day we'd have.\nIt is taught that if you cannot learn from history then you are bound to repeat it.  After the adrenalin rushes are over, oh so spent and comfy.  The people having had enough blood letting we'd rather the dung would settle but it's all yet there.  It was diagnosed and treated and the causes but build back and entropy is operant once again.  What's the next ditty?

What did this person do before they met you? Were they in trouble? They had to do something for the department of corrections to have a record on them. Records are not made up.

Huh? What are you trying to find out? \nAre you looking for a person? Are you trying to learn about prisons? I happen to know a great deal about prisons but I can't answer if I don't know what the question is.

I work in a medium/maximum security jail.  I have my good days and my bad days.  The pay and benefits are okay, but it is a hard and opressive place to work.  I have a very sad view of society.

yeah, my dad is an electrician who worked there. he said the only ppl he saw there were shackled and accompanied by guards. i dont know what constitutes a "prison" technically, but i'm pretty damn sure that if you're there, you're not having a good time. for a LONG time.
