"Working for corrections was pretty good due to the benefit of moving up in the company."
"I worked for MDOC for eight months from May 2013 to January 2014. It was quite the experience and I learned a lot in the ways of physical security. The job itself was a bit dangerous and could use a bit more state funding as training is a mere three weeks long which for many with no security or combat experience is not long enough, considering you are guarding violent offenders."
