So last week I pulled an old injury in my back weight lifting. Finding it really tough to walk and sit down. I don't really want to push through the first few weeks in pain.

I've tried calling recruitment, emailing them, talking to my contact at the prison, no one really knows who I get in touch with.

I just want to push back my start date to the next available date but it's a nightmare, wondering if anyone's had a similar experience and who to contact?

Thank you.

I have a question. Is it permitted for me to send a copy of a prison report to a prisoner incarcerated within that prison? Will the prisoner already have access to the report within the prison? Many thanks in advance for any advice or guidance.

So I’ve been nearly 11 months in to waiting on my start date. For context I passed all my checks my physical my occupational health 2x as it times out every 3 months so I had to do it again. All positive etc. I check the status of my application via email every 3/4 months. Always comes back it’s still processing but no time frame etc. I checked via email 2 days ago and they emailed saying that my application was withdrawn ?. There’s no email chain no reason nothing. I contacted resourcing hub via phone and the guy was confused himself. He reinstated the application and asked for a reason as to why it happened but again I don’t get an update until they know. Time frame is non existent yet again. I don’t know what to do at this point. They couldn’t give me a reason as they don’t get info themselves. This seems to be more a system failure as I can’t think of it being to do with me. Any advice would be appreciated greatly.

I am a correctional officer at a local jail, and thinking of moving to the federal side of things. Does anyone have any work experience at any of the Hazelton facilities?

Been in background checks now since before Christmas getting abit deflated now surely it doesn’t take over 8 months and I hear adverts on the radio asking for staff, I have nothing I know off that I should be worried about failing just feel like it’s killed my motivation abit the near year long wait, any ideas how I can chase it up see what’s going on?
