Very unsafe

Pros

Lots of overtime so you can make money fast.

Cons

Very unsafe. Short staffed when you report for your 12 hour shift it may be 16 or more hours before being relieved. Inmates run this facility. Management starting in the unit is very poor if the unit is staffed with management.

Thank you for your feedback. While I appreciate your point of view, we do not let inmates run the facility, The Facility you are referencing is the largest in Tennessee and is staffed appropriately at all times.

Thank you for your feedback and for your work in Community Corrections. The work you performed in rehab and re-entry is critical to the re-integration of former inmates to society.
