I worked for the California state system, starting as a Correctional Officer and retiring as a Lieutenant in 2005. I now write for the PacoVilla blog which is concerned with what could broadly be called The Correctional System.
I am not sure I understand your question. I will work from the idea that you are interviewing her for an article for an english writing assignment or a journalism class. What sort of facility she works at would be of interest, i.e. male or female, adult or juvenile, high security, medium security, medical, etc. How long she has worked for the department, some particular jobs she has had, that sort of thing would be interesting. Maybe some details about her basic training and ongoing, in-service training would be of interest. Possibly some specific incidents she has been involved in (war stories). Also, there is the classic about hwo does it feel to be a woman in what is still largely a men's field.

I don't know the rules in Arizona, I never worked there. Most states have hiring policies that do not discriminate against the families of felons. Generally speaking they would not let a person work at the same facility a close family member was locked up in, but other than that there is almost certainly no civil service rule against it. That does not mean they would not look closely at her on suspicion of being a plant within the system, especially if she had any suspicion of involvement in criminal activities which were never proven.

Sorry but I am afraid I don't know any more. use to be the max was about $4,000 per month, not counting things like educational incentive, shift differential and overtime. You can go to the CDCR web site and check out the salary RANGE there. That might give you a fair notion of what you want. This is, of course, for state employed correctional officers. Counties typically pay less, private operators less still.

It depends. In California the situation would have to be reported to the employer if the person was still under supervised release, i.e. parole or probation. I strongly suspect that is fairly normal in most jurisdictions but I don't know that for a fact. It might also cause an issue for the agency supervising the ex-con, especially if that meant there were weapons in the house.

They didn't use to be, but some are now fussy about visible ink, especially if it something that even looks like it might be gang oriented. You might have to invest in some really good cover makeup or tattoo removal.

I don't know what the laws and rules are in Georgia and it varies from state to state. If you are actually related, "like brother and sister" I suspect you would be granted permission to do so and I expect you would NEED permission to do so for both the officer and the probationer. If you are not related and claim to be living in a platonic, non-sexual relationship I suspect that permission would not be granted. That is, however, only an educated guess on my part.

No. Generally speaking belly chains have 1/2 handcuffs, one on each side, welded to the belly chains. Then the handcuffs are used to secure the prisoners wrists. I have also seen them with a full set of handcuffs attached more or less dead center front, securing both of the prisoners hands in front of him.
