It gave me an opportunity to learn how to deal/communicate with different personality types. I built a 6th sense per say. I was able to read people and circumstances without any verbal communication but moreso in body language and the energy that was given out by inmates/offenders/returning citizens. There is plenty of opportunities to advance in whatever direction you choose to go.... At some point in my career while advancing, I had to decide if I would continue on the security side such as a Captain, Sergeant, Lieutenant, or venture in the direction of care and treatment of the inmate population....such as counseling, intake, case management, re-entry programs, and so fourth.
