Staffing a sprawling prison system with dozens of rural lockups has been a perennial problem in Texas, particularly when there’s a booming oil and gas sector to lure away would-be workers to better-paying jobs.
After a 28% officer turnover rate and 14% vacancy figure raised red flags in late 2017, TDCJ officials implemented a 12% increase in starting pay and poured more than $9 million into $4,000- and $5,000-hiring bonuses at a couple dozen particularly understaffed units.
Still, by the end of 2018, turnover soared past 29%, and by April vacancy rates hit nearly 15%.
So prisons as job programs work better in simulations than reality, huh?

It's because no matter what you do, if you don't treat the nigger/beaner like a child you'll be fired and arrested for some type of (((human rights))) violation. When they start allowing prison/jail staff to treat prisoners like scum criminals the problem will be fixed.

Or just kill all of the prisoners to save billions USD.

This must be considered in the future. The US is an open air prison where a very high percentage of people will be incarcerated with in jail or prison at least once in their life. Imagine actually having a judicial system that spends its money on true rehabilitation rather than just locking people up for 10 years. The logic of flat out killing criminals is economic because a lot of them (murderers, sadists, pedos) just deserve death, but people that steal cars, rape, DWI, embezzle need to work off that crime not sit in prison; that is real punishment.

Nah, just kill the criminals regardless of what crimes they committed. Police is there to keep the people in line. If the people can't into good behaviors then why bother to waste the money on the criminals?

Just there are way too many laws, sometimes the grey area just needs to not exist. Like if some dude grabs your gf's ass and you beat his ass in a parking lot….guess who gets arrested for assault for defending your gf. That's a grey area and should not be an arrestable offense. I don't worship cops, in fact, fuck cops. They should only be necessary in extreme violence like gangs and killers. There needs to be an established list of crimes that are automatically punishable by death. Like what Singapore does. There are massive signs at the airport and around the city stating that if you do this…..it is death.

The new higher salary is $36K? lol Well if you pay peanuts why would anyone take such a risky job?
Elijah Wilson
Fuck off nigger.

It's not a risky job. Gas station attendant is a risky job. Prison guard is not a risky job. The worst two things are the smell and all the piss and shit niggers eat and play with.
