I retired about one year ago from Ohio DOC. I am sure from talking to others most State Corrections are about the same. In Ohio we worked 5 days 40 hours... And all the overtime you can stand and then some more just for luck. I was assigned to Tactics K-9 officer. I can give you detaled information on the life just PM me. I will say this much it makes men out of boys and can destroy your values if you let it. There is a fine line you have to make sure you don't cross.:bounce:
