In prison there are only so many jobs available to us. I’m currently in a very large compound. It holds something like 1,500 women. With a population this size there are only so many jobs available. Recently I’ve been thinking about applying for a different job. There are two different departments I’m considering applying for. One of them is in the Education Department and the other is in the Facilities Department. In the Education Department I could spend my time helping others get their GEDs and improve themselves with classes. In the Facilities Department I could learn a trade that would help me find employment after my release. Either of these decisions could open up more opportunities for my future. I enjoy helping others and would love be able to do that regularly. I also think about my release and what type of work I could do as soon as I get out of here.
