I go in coworker to make sure dates are right on everything and what needs to be took out is removed.

I have worked the front line in the cafeteria and helped the inmates. Serve officers their food and watched over the inmates while they cooked officers and staffs food.

I made sure the inmates are doing their jobs right? I have them in designated areas of the kitchen to do tray wash, pot wash, and cleaning the kitchen the proper way.
