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.
If the relationship was consensual it might be difficult. If not you might be able to read body language or pick up on other clues. Observational skills are important. Simply separating them, i.e. changing jobs or housing, will sometimes do the job. Tossing the aggressor into segregation pending investigation will also often deal with the trouble, at least short term.

That would be up to your employer. If he were in the state prison system it would be highly problematic. They do not allow immediate family to work at a facility where a family member is housed without a waiver from the Secretary of the Dept. of Corrections. You would have to check with your agency about their policy. Of course, if they don't know about the relationship now your inquiry will let them know about it and they might transfer him, or you. As far as I know they can't prevent you from marrying him, but they can prevent you from working at a facility where he is housed. Short answer is yes, it would probably be an issue.

I see question marks. I don't see any question. Not my field of expertise anyway.
Share Answer: 
In the California system, which is the only one I am truly familiar with, the ability to gain or not gain good time credit is a matter of law.

What kind of shape do firefighters need to be in?
Sorry but no, I can't. I have been out of the system for 12 years now and I have zero information on it. I am GUESSING that it is a halfway-house type environment for prisoners who are nearly at their release date or who are in fact out on some form of supervised conditional release, but that is only an educated guess.

Assuming you are all in the same family it should not be a problem, at least in CA. If the former felon was no longer on probation/parole it would not be a problem in any case. In CA staff are required to report family members and close friends who are under the control of the department, as long as that was done it should not be a difficulty.

As far as I now you can not be hired as a peace officer until you are 20 1/2 and can not begin work until you are 21. Some jurisdictions also hire "jailers" (various titles in various areas) that are not peace officers and which you could possibly be hired for at age 18. You could also look into non=peace officer employment with an agency until you get the age in. Also many community colleges have correctional science programs which might give you a leg up. I would stay away from privately operated training systems. IMHO they are of dubious value. Good luck.
