"I Will Kill You!"

Most people will never have those words directed at them in the manner in which harm is intended. But day in and day out that and worse is spewed towards Corrections Officers; in a lot of cases multiple times a day.

Imagine willingly locking yourself inside a building furnished with concrete and steel surrounded by deviants whom sit around all day plotting their next crime, which could include smashing your skull in or driving a pencil, spoon, or a piece of scrap metal into your spleen. And when you’re not the subject of their threats your spouse and children are; the threat of someone killing you quickly becomes welcome.

For the general public the closest thing I can imagine is driving down the highway while all the other drivers suffer from road rage. Now make that drive for 12 hours.

Well, at least we get paid.
