I worked for the California state system, starting as a Correctional Officer and retiring as a Lieutenant in 2005. I now write for the PacoVilla blog which is concerned with what could broadly be called The Correctional System.
It does on occasion happen at the infirmary at the institution. As far as I know inmates are not transported off grounds for such things, but that doesn't mean it never happens. I suppose it is not impossible to do one on an inmate who was at the hospital already for some reason or other, but I don't know that the hospital staff would do it for custody purposes and custody staff do not do intrusive cavity searches, at least in CA.

I am not sure I understand your question. I will work from the idea that you are interviewing her for an article for an english writing assignment or a journalism class. What sort of facility she works at would be of interest, i.e. male or female, adult or juvenile, high security, medium security, medical, etc. How long she has worked for the department, some particular jobs she has had, that sort of thing would be interesting. Maybe some details about her basic training and ongoing, in-service training would be of interest. Possibly some specific incidents she has been involved in (war stories). Also, there is the classic about hwo does it feel to be a woman in what is still largely a men's field.

I don't know the rules in Arizona, I never worked there. Most states have hiring policies that do not discriminate against the families of felons. Generally speaking they would not let a person work at the same facility a close family member was locked up in, but other than that there is almost certainly no civil service rule against it. That does not mean they would not look closely at her on suspicion of being a plant within the system, especially if she had any suspicion of involvement in criminal activities which were never proven.

Sorry but I am afraid I don't know any more. use to be the max was about $4,000 per month, not counting things like educational incentive, shift differential and overtime. You can go to the CDCR web site and check out the salary RANGE there. That might give you a fair notion of what you want. This is, of course, for state employed correctional officers. Counties typically pay less, private operators less still.

Do you occasionally get a little turned off by wine snobbery?
No. Generally speaking belly chains have 1/2 handcuffs, one on each side, welded to the belly chains. Then the handcuffs are used to secure the prisoners wrists. I have also seen them with a full set of handcuffs attached more or less dead center front, securing both of the prisoners hands in front of him.

They didn't use to be, but some are now fussy about visible ink, especially if it something that even looks like it might be gang oriented. You might have to invest in some really good cover makeup or tattoo removal.
Share Answer: 
It depends. In California the situation would have to be reported to the employer if the person was still under supervised release, i.e. parole or probation. I strongly suspect that is fairly normal in most jurisdictions but I don't know that for a fact. It might also cause an issue for the agency supervising the ex-con, especially if that meant there were weapons in the house.
