Topic: A Broader View / Correctional staff - alcohol and/or drug addiction?

well,to continue whit you,mick,unfortunatly, if you admit and go in thérapie,we have just 66% of our salary.a lot of people need help but cant afford it. in the past 4 years, we had 8 guards who were arrested because they enter drugs or cells inside.the price to smuggle cells is $1000 for a unit, and $2000 for on package of drugs… I know, that temptation is there…will always be. but help can save a carreer and the family behind it. we want to try to do more for our people.
