| Posted almost 5 years ago When I worked for Tarrant County, the ratio was officially 48-1... of course, you had 72 inmates to 1 officer in a pod. How did they get away with it? Two 72 inmate pods back to back with an officer in each pod plus a 'rover/zone' officer. 3-144=1-48... and if we were really strapped we just counted the supervisors towards the ratio. Nothing legally wrong with it, but it was a definite officer safety issue |

| Posted almost 5 years ago The county jail that I work for is the same way. There are eighty plus inmates to one officer. I don't see how agencies are allowed to do this, it is a really bad officer safety issue. There should be atleast two officers in the wing. Then again, most agencies don't have the staff available to do this. A big change needs to be made to preserve officer safety. |

| Posted over 4 years ago In a prisoner housing unit you're looking at about 76 to 1 in our Level 2 through Level 4 units both being low medium to medium security. On the big prison yard (where I work) on a warm summer day you're looking at about 240 to 1 with a gun tower back up.

| Posted over 4 years ago The housing units at our facility were built for 2 per cell. 16 cells. 2 units per unit. We have up to 65 in any of these units at any given time. We have 1000 inmates and 180 officers total count. 20 of those are specialty posts that don't see the floor. I wish I didn't have to deal with inmates and could get paid for it. |

| Posted over 4 years ago California Department of Corrections, 100-1 staffing ratio in the housing units. 360 design units have 100 cells, Inmates are doubled celled), (2 tiers/50 per tier). Each unit has two floor officers. In the level III and IV units you have gun coverage which equates to an armed control booth officer. In the level I and II (Lower custody), the same size units except all open dorms. No gun coverage, two floor officers. |

| Posted about 3 years ago At ACC the average staff to inmate ratio is 134 - 1 if your in a housing unit. Chow hall is about 400 - 4 or less on my shift because the grave yard is seriously short staffed. Ive heard rumors of rooks on the way out of the academy though Don't forget... the toes you step on today might be attached to the ass you'll be kissing tomorrow! |

| Posted almost 3 years ago When I worked for the Arkansas Dept of Correction, we had an average ratio (at my unit, anyway) of approximately 80:1 on a good day; at times it'd be about 160:1. |

| Posted almost 3 years ago County jail, 56-1, but that is only at full capacity, and I have only had that a few times in the year I've been there. My favorite is working the Med unit with the females, 3-1! Do what you love, Love what you do |

| Posted about 2 years ago max unit when full 20-1 however this is an indirect supervision unit and we have a control tech or another officer in the control room so maybe 20-2, meduim status inmates when unit is full 64-1 and the minimum status inmates when full 56-1. I have to say that having people skills and choosing you battles (with the inmates and the command staff) is really what makes it tolerable. |

| Posted almost 2 years ago In one pod we have roughly 200 inmates but they are divided in sub-pods of 48. There is always 2 DO's working eaching pod but with sub-pods the ratio is always approx 48 inmates-2 DO's. On top of that we have what we call detention support specialist who are civilians who work the towers and central control in our jail. So each pod has a tower manned by a DSS. So in reality we have a ratio of approx. 48 inmates to 2 DO's and a DSS who watches over us every time we enter into a sub pod. |

| Posted almost 2 years ago We run between 50 to 55 (max) on each pod to one C/O. Direct contact, we have no bubble. It atleast keeps your blood flowing throughout the day. |

| Posted over 1 year ago any where from 130-210 inmates to 1 officer in the wings (there are 4 wings in a housing unit) and 1 officer in the control bubble. On a good day we might get lucky and some units will have a second roving officer assigned and usually 1 Sgt. for every 3-5 housing units. Never regret anything that made you smile. |

| Posted over 1 year ago At our camp we have 1 bubble co, 2 wing co's and usually a sgt unless they get pulled for somewhere else. GP houses have up to 50 per wing with 4 wings. Unless it's a treatment house which usually has 60 to a wing. Then there is the dreaded "honor house" (what a joke) with up to 100 inmates to a wing, 1 co per wing and one of the wings barely gets radio reception because it's below building grade. |

| Posted about 1 year ago These numbers are insane. I knew Corrections as a whole was understaffed but damn. I've worked at smaller military prision. Any time we could hold about 200 to 300 inmates at my current command. I've haven't worked with those types of numbers though because I was at a smaller brig before here. Marine Corrections is very small is being taken over by the Navy. Our three main Marine Corps bases hold less than a 100. If I had to take a guess, as far as inmate to staff ratio I would say roughly 5 to 1. It's really small. Seeing the other numbers is definetly an eye opener. |
just playing with you guys
