Hey guys, i am pretty new to this forum. i have been doing some searching and there is tons of info on here.
i am going through the NC DOC application process. i took my Educational Achievement Test and COVT today.
during my visit they had us fill out a "wish list" of which prison we would like to work at. i made my list of close ones (within 1 hr) to my house, there ended up being 11 within an hour of my house.
to my dissapointment, there were only 2 prisons in my region (Piedmont). they are 1 1/2 & 2 hrs away from my house! with the salary the state pays, i can't afford that. and w/ working 12 hour shifts, i don't want to be driving 3 to 4 hours to go back and forth to work.
one of the guys testing asked the lady giving the test about turn over. she said, "we don't have any turn over". so she said we would be placed on the waiting list for the prisons we wanted (since they were over cap).
really, is this true? low to no turn over?
i really want to be a CO, but i can't drive that far for work. even carpooling would suck!
NC CO's, do i stand a chance on getting on with a local prison?
thanks
