If you are one of the few people who can't make it in the real world and who's willing to stoop to being a prison guard, there's a job waiting for you with the Pennsylvania Department of Imprisonment. You'll be coddled and cared for like an infant. Nothing will be expected of you except to harm people.

Consider a fellow we'll call "Not-Quite-Monday," a guard at one of Pennsylvania's many rank prisons. He's old, surly, sullen and arrogant, a bullying know-it-all who suffers from brain hemorrhoids. He's unable even to read his own watch. He's hated by his family and by all those who know him. None of that was any obstacle to him being hired by the imprisonment industry.

Poor "Not-Quite" couldn't make it in any decent job. His defects were too pronounced. His lack of a personality and of elementary social skills made him anathema. His difficulties with reading and writing, with reasoning and coping made him unsuited for employment in the private sector.

But "Not-Quite-Monday" was welcomed into the imprisonment industry. The taxpayers were willing to pay him! They'll hire almost anyone, man or woman, who wants to be paid for doing next to nothing except being a bully. While only a few women are so desperate that they sink to being prison guards, more men are willing to do so. There's no real work, no demand for brain power (which is a good thing for old "Not-Quite").

If you find yourself at the bottom of the barrel, an outcast from decent society, take a lesson from "Not-Quite-Monday" and his kin, apply at the Department of Imprisonment. If you're a decent person, with even a modicum of pride, we advise against it. Good people need not apply!
