I work as an electrician in a county jail.
I had a hard working trusty ask me one time if he could apply for a job with us after he got out.
It was hard for me not to laugh.
The Sheriff does not hire former convicts.
In a way its funny, the Sheriff will not pay them to work there but will let them work for free while they are in jail.
I am a civilian not a guard. However, all Sheriff employees go through the same background check.
For the record, most trustys do not work hard, not even close.
