Topic: Security Central / Ohio Dept. of Corrections

Hi, I just took my written assessment and unfortunately, I did not pass. I have never been good at written tests. I applied at Toledo Correctional, which is the closest prison to me. They told me I could apply again in Feb. I am thinking about it, but I have no family support at all. My family can’t understand why I would want to work in an all male max facility being that I am a woman. Mostly, it is the fact that I live in the Toledo area and like I said, this is the closest prison to me. I would love any advice or suggesstions from female corrections officers. Without the family support, I am starting to doubt whether I could do the job or not.
