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 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.

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.

I am sorry but I have no idea what you are asking about. Is this income taxes?
Share Answer: 
Every jurisdiction has its own rules on grooming and appearance. My GUESS is that in most jurisdictions the answer would be NO, but that is a guess and not an informed response.

Are there social cliques (like "cool kids") in old folks homes?
Assuming you are no longer on probation or parole it is not an issue having normal social interactions with working peace officers. it is no problem at all with retired peace officers either. as a convicted felon you do, however, have issues with being on prison grounds (you can't go onto prison grounds without the expressed permission of the warden) so if some of them live on grounds that might be an issue. you also want to avoid being in personal possession of firearms or ammunition. good luck.
Share Answer: 
For starters you should NEVER be in that position in the first place. Assuming it did happen, you go with the bird in the hand and keep custody of the prisoner you have. You might be justified in shooting at the fleeing prisoner, but you would not deliberately loose the one you still have to maybe catch the one who is running.
Share Answer: 
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.
