Jail Medic


Recommended Posts

I recently got a job as a medic in a jail...after jumping through a bunch of hoops I start next week.

This is very bittersweet as I've been a paramedic in a rural 911 environment for the past 10+ years. Extenuating circumstances no longer make that possible.

Has anyone ever worked in a jail as a medic? Any tips or advice?

On the plus side I will get to sleep in MY bed every night. :-)

Just be very very very careful

Dont let the inmate get between you and the door

Don't be left alone with the inmate

keep it professional (I know you will) but don't let them pull you in to their sob stories.  

and above all, please please please please, be very very careful.  

Get some self defense courses too.
