Topic: The Club House / Public or Private?

I have ample experience working for two public correctional facilities, but have not worked for a private one. In my opinion, the entire sheriff’s system in the state of Massachusetts needs an overhaul. If you want a job where you can put your feet up on a desk and read the newspaper rather than tend to the needs of the inmates you serve, a public agency is the place for you. On the other hand, if you care-and want to make a difference-ask a lot of questions and think twice before you sign on to work. Good luck with the job hunting!
