State lawmakers approved the measure on Wednesday and Gov. Kathy Hochul, a Democrat, is expected to sign it into law.
The bill establishes some rules for the younger guards, including policies that they cannot obtain or use firearms or transport inmates outside of prisons. They also must be supervised when performing “contact roles” with inmates during the first year-and-a-half on the job.
The push to lower the age for correction officers came after guards walked off the job in February while striking to protest poor working conditions. Hochul was forced to deploy the state National Guard to prisons to maintain operations during the strike.
Who goes for that job anyway? I know one guy who is interested in that kind of work and it’s the 8k bonus plus he thinks it would be easy. And they give the bonus to attract the desparate and money hungry because who goes for that job anyway? Who actually wants that job? Seriously?
People who likes dicks and buttholes. They never talk about the amount of strip searches.
