virgin-burner 1 #1 October 19, 2011 ..it's at the PRISON!!! too funny, my opening-sentence on the application was something like "when i've read your ad, i couldnt help but think "rather work in prison than doing time there!".. the opening would be as a prisonguard; shawnshank redemption, here i come! keep your fingers crossed for me for 2 1/2hrs tomorrow afternoon! “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S.

virgin-burner 1 #3 October 19, 2011 thanks mark! i'm very happy; for some reason, didnt really think they wanted to see me. even mentioned my skydiving in the letter, sort of "i know what's safety about and stick to it, even in my private life". and mentioned my military experience with guarding the world economic forum a couple times, the G-10 and embassies n'stuff.. pretty cool! “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S.

Coreece 190 #8 October 19, 2011 You sure about this VB? If this is what you really want then go for it, but it's a rather depressing environment... Some stats show the suicide rate to be 39% higher for corrections officers than most other occupations.Your secrets are the true reflection of who you really are...

virgin-burner 1 #9 October 19, 2011 my mom's working in the justice system, so i heard a couple stories about it.. including the one from a guy that went into her building's police-station and shot himself in the head in front of everyone. and every now and then, they'll have to untie an inmate hanging from underneath the sink. from what i perceive, american and swiss prisons are not very much the same. you hardly, if ever, hear of violent acts such as rape or murder within them. actually, she suggested it to me, apparently, the guards she knows are quite similar to my personality. dont have the job yet, and i'm pretty sure after that 2 1/2hrs tour/interview i'll have more of an idea myself.. but i know where your concerns are coming from, thanks for caring! “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S.
