Well I finished my first week at my new prison, still learning the system there. I conducted some Professionalism and PREA classes with the staff. It was a quiet week and I worked on bringing their policies and procedures up to date.
The staff there are friendly so far, I know most of them and the inmates for the most part went through the one I worked at in order to get here so they know my pet peeves.
The lady I am replacing retires on the 30th of the month so after that I won't be office bouncing and am trying to learn her system since it works I won't make many changes to rock the boat.
This prison is in the inner city of Milwaukee and has about 80 female inmates some on work release and some in AODA classes, it is a fairly new building the staff are a bit younger than the ones I left but they do a good job. I will get to know them better in the coming months as they will get to know me.
I told my new boss that I plan on being there for 4 or 5 years maybe longer, I have known her for a little bit I actually filled in for her captain a few years ago when she went in for surgery. She told me her expectations and I told her that I would do my best to follow them.
So far so good
