Any one work in the BOP?

I am considering working at a federal prison, and I was wondering if anyone here can tell me the pro's and con's of their job.

 

thanks much

telling of the cons in a prison system may violate HIPPA :-) (sorry, couldn't resist the lame joke)

 

I will be following the thread with interest though...anecdotally I have heard a few healthcare providers report they really enjoy working in them. Great benefits, good pay, interesting cases and grateful patients. I was caught "off guard" (no pun intended) when they mentioned the grateful patients as I had assumed the clients would be a bit surly, but they prove to be hungry for any sort of humanity, there isn't anything much more humane than to ease pain and suffering.
