Why would I? Well I took the job because the field I wanted to get involved in (not a jailors job) required some kind of related experience first. I have a college degree but no real world experience. Many people find Corrections as a great way to build that experience to put on an application to be a Cop, Parole Officer, Counselor, or like I'm trying to get a new job as a "Corrections Advisor" which supervises people on probation in a facility that helps them find jobs and complete their treatment programs to try to keep them off the streets but still involved with the community and out of prison.
Other people take the job because they have friends and family on the inside as inmates and they are helping out by sneaking them things and selling it. It's a sad reality, but I've seen it happen time and time again.
