In addition to this. Here’s something I learned the words for years after I started working this way.

“Be as nice as they’ll let you be but as mean as they make you.”

If asking politely and using manners works. Do it. If it doesn’t work. Forget it. It doesn’t work. Ask, tell, make.

Good advice. I'd add this book to it:

https://www.amazon.com/Games-Criminals-Play-Profit-Knowing/dp/0960522603

I read this after being on the job about six months and it would have helped a lot if I had it before I had started.

I recommend this link:

Also when I started as a Counselor in a maximum security prison, I was required to read this book: https://www.amazon.com/Games-Criminals-Play-Profit-Knowing/dp/0960522603

I think most depends on your state, and facility. I worked a Medium Minimum for a couple years at the state prison level. I've also worked at a county jail spending most of my time in our high security area.

But when I was at the prison, it was come on shift, get our assignments which didn't change once you are permanently assigned unless you got annual leave, or sick call relief. But we'd go through our minor control into the actual perimeter of the facility and go by major control and get the tags for who you are replacing, and give them yours. We called them chits. They were for the equipment we would be getting, keys, cuffs, radio that was it. Then go to our assigned area and you'd give them their chits and get your equipment, a brief on how their shift went and any other issues in the unit. Then they would leave, and you would be on your own. I usually started my log, reviewed the previous log for anything that might jump out at me issue wise, or whether we got or lost inmates count wise. Then I would do my first walk through of the unit, and once that was done I would check the behavior log for the inmates, and our picture count book, which gave me the opportunity to start learning their names. If there was movement then that would be announced, as to when it opened and closed. Also write infractions, and general interactions with the inmates.

The academy will give you the basics, you should do a more in depth OJT at your facility. And one thing I can recommend is getting and reading the book Games Criminals Play: How you can profit from knowing them. Has great information, and I've seen more then one officer get manipulated my inmates, up to losing their jobs for it. Remember you have 8-12 hours a day with them, they have 24 to figure out how to screw you.

Many of them ran scams on the outside and that's why they got locked up in the first place. They would do stuff like scam elderly people out of their life savings.

Once on the inside they play long games with COs and many don't recognize it happening at all.

All COs should read [this book.] (http://www.amazon.com/Games-Criminals-Play-Profit-Knowing/dp/0960522603)
