Day 1: I had no idea.
My name is Caitlin and the only time I’ve ever been in jail was on a field trip in 11th grade with Mr. Strazdes’ intro-to-psych class. We visited the Plymouth County Correctional Facility, which was interesting but that was the extent of my knowledge in the area. Now, I am the new summer intern for Corrections.com. I am a print-journalism major and a political science minor at Hofstra University on Long Island. I’m going into my senior year and honestly have no idea exactly what I want to do yet. This internship will help me figure things out a bit, or at least I hope so. It will also answer all those questions this interesting field and what it might be like to work in the corrections industry as a career. For those of you in the same position as me, I hope these blog posts will help you as you begin the long, sometimes uncertain process of figuring out the rest of your life.
