The Prison Officer Podcast 23: Female Prison Officers - Interview w/Sgt. Natasha Blake
There are currently 59,100 female officers working in local jails in the US. Another 10,500 female staff work for the Federal Bureau of Prisons. Across the country, female correctional officers make 38% of the total correctional officers nationwide.
In this episode I talk with Sgt. Natasha Blake and her experiences as a Prison Officer. I wanted to know how being a female Prison Officer is different, or is it? From the time she started at Iowa State Penitentiary (ISP) to being the first female CERT team member, we talk about the challenges and how she overcame them and the advice she would offer other female officers.
