To want to work in a prison

[Bettyooops]

Just that really!
I really want to do my ideal job now that I’m coming out of being a SAHM and would love to work as a prison officer.
Any advice on how do go about this as I have no relevant experience?

And also is 31 too old to be starting again and changing career? I’ve had a few job rejections lately and think I need to start again and do something I actually WANT to do. But feel a bit old and past it to actually want a new career.

What about prison based or criminal justice social work?

What about working for NACRO who try to rehabilitate offenders? I don’t know much about them tbh but you could investigate it.

Still don’t get what exactly appeals to you about the job? I’ve visited lots of prisons through work in the past and it’s not something I would ever want to do personally.

On the other, the tape threats and general intimidation was enough to let me know I wouldn't want to go back.

Rape threats? I was never threatened with rape for the 2 years I worked in a male estate. I had a line and they knew not to cross it!!

Anyway, PACT and Catch22 work within prisons too, it's not just officers and nurses.

As a mother you need to have a strong contingency plan for childcare. We had 1 on the roof a while ago and no one could move around the prison for 5 hours.
