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.
Unless there was something HIGHLY UNUSUAL going on that would be a no. Observing a urine sample being given would normally be done by MEDICAL staff and not custody staff.

In California, yes. There is no legal prohibition against the spouse of a felon of ex-felon being a peace officer. You can count on a very close background check and if he is gang involved there may be issues as you may be regarded as a "mole." There is, however, no outright prohibition on the istuation.

Sorry, but I don't have enough information on how things work in Connecticut to give even an educated guess. If I were to make a WAG (wild-ass guess) I would say that they don't like employees being sponsors, but if you were already a sponsor when you hired on they would be OK with it. That is, however, a GUESS and not an informed opinion.

If someone tries to escape we shoot at them. If they do actually escape we pursue them, go to places they are likely to be (mothers house, girlfriends house, etc) and otherwise try to catch them.

Not familiar with the rules in Florida. A lot would depend on the content and general appearance of the tattoo. If the one on your neck says MOM you are probably OK. If it looks even remotely like a gang tattoo I would invest in some really good cover makeup and the laser work. Same with the hand. Look on the bright side, if you are getting it done for employment purposes it is probably tax deductible. Good luck.

Assuming you are no longer on probation or parole it is not an issue having normal social interactions with working peace officers. it is no problem at all with retired peace officers either. as a convicted felon you do, however, have issues with being on prison grounds (you can't go onto prison grounds without the expressed permission of the warden) so if some of them live on grounds that might be an issue. you also want to avoid being in personal possession of firearms or ammunition. good luck.
