I worked for the California state system, starting as a Correctional Officer and retiring as a Lieutenant in 2005. I now write for the PacoVilla blog which is concerned with what could broadly be called The Correctional System.
Inflexibility. Hated of criminals. Hatred of cops. Inability to follow orders.
Good communication skills, a thick skin and to be process oriented (rather than outcome oriented).
I was in the middle of a couple of full-blown riots. That is kind of scary as you are never know if the riot is aimed at staff or other inmates.
