Are the Jobstr guys still doing anything on this site or is it a abandoned project? I sent them a email and they said they read everything and NOTHING. I am worried once the last of you who actually still answer regularly once their gone this site is dead

Stupid juries I suppose. Not exactly my field of expertise. Plus a lot of jurors really think it is supposed to be like Law & Order or Perry Mason and if the bad guy does not confess it doesn't count.

Why are you rude to people who ask you questions sometimes?

Asked by Cjdnd over 5 years ago

I wouldn't say rude. I would say snarky. Some of the questions I get are really lame, and some of them are presented so poorly it is very hard to NOT say something snarky. I guess I am just a slave to my emotions. (Kind of like just now.)

Why did you choose this career?

Asked by Beanie over 5 years ago

I had a friend whose husband worked there. I worked for the state for another agency at the time (not peace officer) when I saw a newspaper ad. I answered it. It appealed to my sense of structure, I thought it was worthwhile from a social benefit perspective and the pay, benefits and promotional opportunities were very good.

What is life like for a prisoner who has alot of money? Can they own video games and buy McDonald's?

Asked by Garm over 4 years ago

Not unless they can get to somebody with some juice who will "approve" non-standard property. Such things have happened in the past. Somebody gets pissed, somebody snitches, somebody gets fired and maybe prosecuted. prisoner gets transferred to someplace a lot less fun. This only works long term if nobody finds out it is happening and obviously that doesn't work so well in that environment.
