Thank you for your honest feedback. As a member of the HR team I recognize the pressure you are under when audit checks come around and we are working to automate paperwork and streamline the compliance audit process.

Thanks for your feedback. As a 24/7 operation we are required to man posts at all times, as a Correctional Officer you held a critical position that tended to the care and protection of the inmates in our care. Our mission often requires extra hours of work and the mandated off days are intended to provide work/life balance.
