Newsflash, TDCJ is NOT a family and in truth never has been. You can put your neck at risk for a coworker, be there in coworkers time of need, but when the chips are down and shit hits the fan, you're on your own. Just retired and I feel like a newborn. That job is bad for your mind, body and soul. The pay is pathetic and should be double what it is considering the environment and what the job requires.That being said, don't invest yourself into the job and don't trust anyone including coworkers. Toxic people, toxic environment. I'm finally awake and breathing after 20 years of servitude.
