I made an appearance in front of the judge with 5 charges. His response to me was that I should apply for a job at the Prison. 1 of the charges amounted to a felony. It really depends on the desparation of their situation. Even though I reminded him of my charges he didn%26#039;t even blink. I also know from my lil brother that they hired a girl straight out of the nuthouse. Any place that would hire my X must be desparate for people, no matter the quality.

Yep, bad credit=debt=money troubles

Money troubles make it easier for an inmate to %26quot;help%26quot;you and give you a bribe for a favor etc.

Also, there is a buttload of evidence and personal property that you will be around to steal (theoretically).

Sorry for the bad news, just keep trying. Put in an application for every agency in the area and you%26#039;ll get a job somewhere if you really want it.

its a definate disadvantage if your credit is too bad, because they would look at it like you would be easily swayed by some sort of payoff. the good news is that if you keep trying you will get there. i had some shaky credit after a divorce but it didnt stop me from starting in corrections and then moving into law enforcement later on. just keep applying and eventually you will find a spot.
