Possible Information on what it takes....

I was watching Inside American Jail the other night when a commercial came on for yet another show coming out soon. The show if I remember correctly is called "Inside the Academy" and follows classes going through the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitations Academy.

The reason I wanted to post this is that first, this is an open forum where many new people coming on the boards may have some questions about Corrections and what Academies offer in the way of training and what we have to go through.

Granted, academies are different from state to state, but between this show, American Jail, Behind Bars, and the various documentaries, visitors and those thinking of a career in corrections MIGHT gain a better understanding of the field.

Last but not least, there's always posting here and asking questions. I just wanted to give you all a heads up on this new show. The commercials for it look really good.
