How long did it take you? It may be faster in Indiana, but this was basically my first idea in California a very long time ago when I was unhappy working in nonprofit fundraising management. The background check/psych eval and all the various hoops took 13 months to get through before I finally got an offer, and by then I'd joined the Army instead. And California required a college degree to become a corrections officer.
Beware, of course, that part of the reasons corrections jobs pay well is that prisons tend to be located in the middle of nowhere and they have to pay premiums to entice people to move out there. Your wife may not want to go.
- hs6si 5y agoIt took me maybe 2-3 months. Look at county jails which are usually in less remote areas than prisons.
- nonameiguess 5y agoMaybe another state disconnect? In California, county jails are run by Sheriff's departments, not by corrections. Whether a Sheriff's department requires a degree and how long the application process takes varies wildly by county.
