It's like babysitting adults. It's incredibly boring for the most part. Its a negative work environment which over time can take a toll on you emotionally. You are also looked as a wannabe cop who never made it to your new friends on your unit (the inmates).

You start your shift. Sit in the bubble. Every 20 minutes or so you get off your chair from browsing revscene and walk around the unit. 5 mins later you come back and sit in your chair. Then you keep doing this till your lunch. In the meantime their might be some ppl who ask you a question that you may have to answer. You cook your lunch in the microwave which is in the bubble. You have absolutely no responsibilities except to babysit. And to use your radio if there is any type of situation. Even if you miss a situation, the cameras are watching you and the unit every second of the day to make sure you are doing your job and that the inmates are in line.

I did 9 months at fraser. My uncle was also a corrections officer for 10 years and now does real estate. So speaking from both sides.
