DOC LEE and neighboring counties

I made another post a few weeks ago in regards to County Jails and now I'm applying to DOC prisons as well. Any info on the prisons in this area. I am a patrol officer in the Navy (MP) and the most experience I have with prisoners is booking any arrests made while on patrol and arresting Taliban during a deployment.

I'm looking for any info on things like work schedule/shifts, what to expect as far as dealing with inmates (maybe I'm naive but I've been watching lockup alot lately to try and get a feel for this field), CERT or any like units, and anything else anyone would consider helpful.

Thanks in advance!

Is like watching Top Gun to learn how to fly airplanes.

Those shows only give you the "meat' and none of the fat (or lard) in the job. (One episode was shot at my prison)

Troll around on the forum and you will get an idea of the meat and potato's of the job.There are a lot of what if's and how's it done stories posted in the inards of prisonofficer.org. Enjoy the read and then come to ask some questions.


Others can give you the skinny on Florida DOC........

Failure to plan on your part does not constitute an emergency on my part!

Never argue with idiots- They just drag you down to their level, then beat you with experience.

Re: DOC LEE and neighboring counties

Hendry CI or Charlotte CI are the two closest, Charlotte is a CM Facility. Hope this helps.
