Correctional Officer Problems

Guards is a dirty term to use when describing our jobs.

When you end up working 16 hour shifts it really does feel like you are stuck in prison. If you add up all the time you spend working in the prison you literally spend 6 years in prison when you retire.

As a person with many CO friends, I second the "guards" comment.

That feels like the whole "They aren't janitors, they're sanitation engineers" my highschool started pushing the year before I finished.

A guard stands watch over something, I.e. security gaurd. Corrections Officers in most cases investigate crimes within the facility, write charges, conduct gang intelligence, investigate rapes and assaults, implement crowd control, coordinate drug and alcohol counseling programs and are trained in first aid and c.p.r. and are usually qualified to work on the street as a law enforcement officer. This is why the term gaurd is consider undermining and demeaning.

Yeah but we don't care.

No, they go to an academy just like a regular road deputy. And they work in a correctional facility. So that's why there job title is Correctional Officer.

Cool story bro. They also "guard prisons".

Edit: Also by saying that the title should be changed to "Correctional Officer" from "Prison Guard" basically speaks for itself saying that Police Officers are a higher class of correctional officers. Sounds self-depreciating to me.

Well some do, some don't.

I'm a "guard" I also have a case load of inmates who I counsel, do programing with, and work on a plan\system to perhaps help keep them out of jail and out of trouble while they are in jail.

There are guard jails as well, just saying not every place is equal that's all.

Surprised these guards aren't posting on Tumblr about how much they are being oppressed by this completely applicable term.

If this bothers you, maybe you shouldn't be a prison guard.

And while technically correct, I think it's disrespectful to the inmates to say "you literally spend 6 years in prison when you retire".

I'm not a prison guard, I am a Correctional Officer, I have a case load and counsel inmates. I write up legal documents for their lawyers\probation officers etc, and help them with creating a plan for them to stay out of jail.

I also babysit them and make sure they don't fight too much over the remote.

I honestly don't give a shit about the term guard, but where I work at least the non gangbangers use the term guard normally as a derogatory term and will call us by our name or say Officer. Even guys here who hate all authority figures know the difference, but not everywhere is equal there are places where the CO's are basically guards, and other places they are not. If your job is to literally guard the inmates, that is your job.

I'm not a prison guard, I am a Correctional Officer, I have a case load and counsel inmates.

Well that's fine to me. If you're a paper bitch, you're a paper bitch. I meant the term Prison guard for the men who actually put their lives at risk and guard the inmates.

Glad we could clear that up.

A paper bitch? I'm not that either, along with guarding inmates I also have to do case work and programing. Glad we could clear that up.

Right on, Champ.
