It consists of reading only make sure you can read at a 12th grade level. This is where atleast half the people will fail and do the "walk of shame"

Anybody heard of a definite date for next class

Question for those working at Stateville.
I currently work at Pontiac. And it's great there. But I've been thinking of transferring to Stateville. Thing is, I've heard terrible things about Stateville. Like how inmates run it, rules aren't followed, it's generally less safe.
I also had a girl who used to be a dentist there and is now a co at Pontiac tell me that it's super chill and I'd love it.
I know opinions are always different, but I was hoping someone who works there could fill me in on the daily life and how it is to work there. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

If you're at Pontiac, my recommendation is stay at Pontiac. The entire department is on a steady decline, and Stateville is at the forefront! Don't get me wrong there are some fantastic officers at Stateville, but the ratio between good officers and slugs is way too close for comfort. The "administration" are all hug-a-thugs, the majors are unprofessional, and Lt's and Sgts are typically clueless and the ones that are actually good are typically afraid of doing their job in fear of being put in the stop order book.

I love Stateville because it gave me an opportunity to get my feet wet and in the system... but it's a horrible, depressing place and the direction the department is going in only makes it worse. The inmates very literally run the asylum. I'm sure some people on here from the Ville will be angry at my words, and some will agree whole heartily, but if you have any questions feel free to pm me. I won't hold any punches.

Can someone transfer to the facility opening in feb 2017 in Joliet rather than Stateville? Also can someone who works at Pontiac describe what its like working there that is my first choice?
