Just from context, it sounds like a certification you can get from the state(?) level. Probably a class or course that you go through, similar to police certification, but probably not as strict (or maybe more strict, actually, if you're going to be a guard).3K a week is pretty good, but what the hell is a guard card? Like wooden nickels?

$3k/week is not good money. Good chance they will be labeled as “Private Contractors”.
Which means that $3k is Gross.
Which means no Fed tax, FICA, MEDI is being deducted from the Gross.
Nothing is going into Unemployment or Disability and Healthcare insurance provided.
If it sounds too good too be true….

Not my bag, but if I were a young ex-military or something like that, 3K a week could be a solid gig. At least until I learned the details, anyway. I'd probably have to bail before being part of that.
$12000 a month
~28% in state and fed taxes (only)
~$8640 a mon before 401k and health benefits. Even if we take $1600 a mon for benefits, that’s still $7040.
I don’t know, fam. Sounds like decent pay to me. Now, the offset for me would be the hours. How much of my time would be demanded?
Fair point. I don't expect the people who only value the salaries of their cronies to offer good pay for any regular people. I know they have them working some insane shifts and ethics is probably not a concern.$3k/week is not good money. Good chance they will be labeled as “Private Contractors”.

Not only are you trying to keep the prisoners in, you need to keep the wild life out. And your living there 5 days a week. Fuck that.
