Coming Back to Corrections

Hey everyone, I need some advice here. I left corrections a little while ago following an incident I had where I was written up for mouthing off to an inmate. I definitely lost my temper and the inmates were angry. I wasn’t fired and they were willing to let me stay, however, I did have some further disagreements with command staff related to this incident and subsequently resigned.

My questions are:

  1. Is it responsible for me to apply again or am I putting others at risk with this kind of behavior?

I’ve taken full responsibility for the incident and I’ve taken solid, concrete steps to work on my anger, etc.

  1. If other officers from my previous institution happened to work at the facility I’m applying to (BOP) would I already be looked at with suspicion?

Thank you everyone!
