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 unfamiliar with the laws and rules in Florida. If I were to GUESS the answer is no, but you can count on them looking very closely at your background for the job, especially if he is gang involved as they will assume that you to are gang involved. Also of course assuming they approve you you would not be able to work at the facility where he is locked up.

In California, yes. There is no legal prohibition against the spouse of a felon of ex-felon being a peace officer. You can count on a very close background check and if he is gang involved there may be issues as you may be regarded as a "mole." There is, however, no outright prohibition on the istuation.

If someone tries to escape we shoot at them. If they do actually escape we pursue them, go to places they are likely to be (mothers house, girlfriends house, etc) and otherwise try to catch them.

Sorry, but I don't have enough information on how things work in Connecticut to give even an educated guess. If I were to make a WAG (wild-ass guess) I would say that they don't like employees being sponsors, but if you were already a sponsor when you hired on they would be OK with it. That is, however, a GUESS and not an informed opinion.

Border Patrol Agent
When you catch an illegal alien crossing the border, is he deported immediately?
I don't know. In California the state maintains a web site that can tell you what job an individual person has with the state, but not necessarily the location. There are 33 prisons in CA so you would have to call each individual prison and check with the personnel office. At least in CA the information is not confidential. Other employers might have different ways of doing things. Now days there are lots of commercial web sites that can locate an individual for a modest fee, so as long as you have a name and an approximate age or birth date it shouldn't be that hard.

Not familiar with the rules in Florida. A lot would depend on the content and general appearance of the tattoo. If the one on your neck says MOM you are probably OK. If it looks even remotely like a gang tattoo I would invest in some really good cover makeup and the laser work. Same with the hand. Look on the bright side, if you are getting it done for employment purposes it is probably tax deductible. Good luck.

With all due respect that may be the most poorly constructed question I have ever read in my life. A little punctuation would be nice too. I THINK you are asking in prisoners are issued tablets (i.e. ipads) as part of the "correctional experience" or as some part of a training program. I am unaware of any jurisdiction that does so.
