CCA in Nevada

[Crosstimbers Okie]

Some may hate me for posting this. But we must all face reality...

CCA is starting entry-level COs at about $1000 less than I make as a GS-8 Step 8 with 16 years in the BOP.

With a respected national reputation for economic, local and professional vitality, CCA is proud to bring new, fulfilling economic and career opportunities to Nye County, Nevada, with the CCA Nevada Southern Detention Center.

Also you will not be covered under LEOSA working for a private company! That will keep alot of folks away.
