Hello. I have 10 years in the Federal Bureau of Prisons. The academy is a cake walk. Only three weeks long. When you get hired, you do 1 week orientation in house and depending on your Academy date do O.J.T. and get a feel for the day to day operations and custody posts. Once you come back from the Academy, which is in Glynco, GA. at F.L.E.T.C., your on a 1 year probationary period and waiting for your background to clear. The main thing when you apply for the BOP is tell the truth on your background questions and have a solid job and personal history. Being the Federal Gov. BOP and your position falls under the Federal Law Enforcement status, so your covered under H.R. 218- Conceal Carry in all 50 states. (Below is the U.S. Code Statues). Good Luck.
