For those of you who know me, you know that my husband is an Correction Officer. He has been in this line of work for a long time now.
When he first started years ago, he worked in the Prison with the harden criminals, now he did this for a couple of years. I used to be so worried about him. I mean anything could have happened. I don't think people realize how dangerous this kind of job is. Do you know the Corrections officers are only in charge because the inmates allow them to be. Think about how many inmates there are to the amount of officers there are. (like how many students are in a school compared to how many teachers there are.) So with that said anything could happen, a riot, a deadly fight, he could be jumped, or even tortured. And what's really scary most of the people in the prison have nothing to loose, because they are doing so much time, or maybe even life. Thank God none of this has ever happened to him.
Now he works at the County jail, and I don't know if this is better or worst then the prison. Because a lot of these people are petty criminals, crack heads, and young and dumb. So they just don't care about getting into more trouble. Sometimes he even has to fight with these fools. He has had some minor injuries but nothing serious Thank God! So as a his wife, I worry about him. You can't even imagine some of the thoughts that go thru my head. Or how I get restless if he doesn't call me from work. And please don't let him make it home late, and not call OMG I straight have a panic attack.
So as you can see, it is a blessing that he hasn't had any major issues in this line of work. And I thank God for keeping him safe, and keeping me sane.
I Pray for him everyday he goes to work. and thank God every single time he walks thru the door...
