Summary

I have experience in the Correctional Field for over 20 years with Supervisory capacity for 15 of these years. I have worked in prisons, county jails, security in medical areas and recently in a prison without cells(dorms with beds in rows). I have been under extreme pressure with maximum offenders to offenders who have not been to trial yet. I have worked with very young to very old and had to adapt to the level needed.
