r/CDCR

Hey guys.

I’ve been with CDCR for 2 years. Administration, is terrible. Supervisors don’t care about the front line staff. Mandatory holds destroy home life. So I’m thinking about making the switch. I’m applying for correctional officer 2 as a lateral with Placer County Sheriff’s office. More pay, better retirement and I can transfer Calpers over. I got my PAEL certification and just was sent my PIQ questionnaire prior to my interview. Asking to see if others have had a similar experience going from state to county and information is appreciated!

Thank you!

Looking to transfer over to Kern after completing almost 3 years at my current institution
Not sure what the turnaround time is for transfers down there, or in general, but if anyone has any insight on it, I would greatly appreciate. Also how the prison is, I currently deal with level 4 SNY on a 180 yard. Don’t wanna think I’ll have problem adjusting to the prison since the entire complex is level 4.
Planning to submit the transfer request Monday

Thank you

How many of you guys going to CCI in the academy starting September 8?

Was wondering was types of timelines people are seeing. For reference, my PFT is 7/31/26. Thank you and good luck!

Anyone knowledgeable on hardships to this joint ? Hardship was approved a little over a month ago on both ends . But no calls . Just put another in yesterday for the new fiscal year. They gonna be taking new people after og’s retire after the this month ?

Anyone know where I can get an approved outer vest carrier for safariland plates ? I’m a pretty small framed female, having problems trying to find a small enough one. Any females know where?

I had a question, I passed the psychological written and vision screening a couple weeks ago and had my medical exam last week, where they also tested my vision. I turned in my form from my eye doctor stating I’m corrected to 20/20. I’m pretty much asking does the vision exam at the medical exam matter? I wasn’t wearing my contacts since it didn’t say I needed to wear them on any of the forms or notices.

Wassup yall just a quick question of what an offer to the academy looks like ? Is it an email? A phone call? Who calls me ? The backgrounds officer? The academy lol ? Who

Is it part of medical? can’t Remember been so long in this waiting for an offer stage .

Anyone ever worked at CCI ? How are the work vibes with other CO’s ?

Just thought I’d ask here, since the main CA State Workers are still falling apart over RTO. So, I’ve never had to use SDI for the county or city, and just assumed state was SDI. My friend who works a little further north, said that her doctor wrote her on leave, but the state doesn’t recognize SDI. Instead, they offered NDI, which is only $135 a week. Crazy!!!!!! SDI will pay up to 1750 weekly. $135??? That’s the stuff we need the unions to combat. And ENDI, apparently pays 50% of your wages, but it is taxed where again, SDI is not taxed. What happened to the state’s benefits? So you mean to tell me that if I get injured or if I’m stressed out and my doctor takes me off of work, I can only qualify for $135 a week? Sickening. We’ve paid into disability, now it’s non existent?

What exams do we do ? Like fitness and chem agents ? Thank you!

I swear this is so annoying. You guys pay us like shit morale is low. Inmates are bunch of cry babies and they get everything they want. Youtube is the only thing we had to listen to some music and chill out and now we dont even have that.

Does anyone know if NKSP or Wasco are taking transfers currently or is it only KVSP
