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.
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.

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.

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.

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.

Are teachers underpaid?
Yes I have. Since it is no longer permissible to thump such a person in the parking lot after work you are advised to avoid working with such a person and avoid screwing up when they are around, which is good advice in general. Usually such people become well known quickly and become very unpopular very quickly. People avoid them like the plague and let others know about them. Sometimes that serves to change their habits. Sometimes not, especially if they have friends or relatives in high places. There are jerks in any workplace and you have to learn how to deal with or avoid them.

My opinion, for what that may be worth is, generally speaking, no.

Correctional counselors are not, generally speaking, counselors in the mental health usage of the word. At least in CA there is a mechanism for letting some prisoners out temporarily under certain circumstances. It is called TCL, Temporary Community Leave. The counselor is an important part of the paperwork chain in this process. Normally a prison shrink would be the one to help the prisoner "cope" with the stress of the situation.
