Does your man have a job while in prison?

[JustaNJgirl]

Just wondering who else out there has a man that works...mine is a baker, and works midnight to 6am....(ugh, I would hate those hours) But I think I need to ask him for some recipes....he makes giant suzy Q cakes, and Ho ho cakes for the warden, and guards. YUM!

My baby does and they working him like a hebrew slave, lol. He works 630-5pm. He is going through all this to get certified by the Dept of Labor so when he gets out he can get a job with them. Im glad he got a plan, cause them kinda hours are

[MikesWifey]

mine does he does laundry for his unit

[J.M.W.24]

My man worked as the floor sweeper they rotate but I like the fact he's learning to get up early and following rules it also help reduce some time.

[Kbomb21]

My man also does all the laundry for his floor. he works everyday but sunday at 3$ a day.

Mine works in commissary but he does not get paid =(

[mija0107]

Jay work in commissary and is paid less than $30 a month.

[JustaNJgirl]

Yeah, he makes .23 an hour....but at least it's better then nothing.

Nope. No job. Since he's in a max facility and there are a lot of long termers, jobs are coveted. So when an inmate gets a job, they keep it. Needless to say, the waiting list is looooooong.

[OoMiracleoO]

Mine doesn't :/ he thinks he's to good for 25 cents an hour!

My guy is in IL, and told me that every 3 years they lay off guys for months to rotate jobs. When I met him he was making $10 a month as "Unemployment". They don't want the same guys doing the same jobs for too long.

My husband is a shop aide. Basically he's the HVAC instructor's assistant. He's paid $50.00 a month.

[tearfallzbreak]

i have a feeling my man just quit. He is tired of the way he is treated haha. he thinks he is funny

[Hisoneandonly]

My J is a house man, he sweeps and mops the tiers, he doesn't have a set time, but gets about 30 hours a week doing it...and makes a whopping 20.00 a month ...that is so sad when I think of it and I hate complaining to him when I think I'm not getting paid enough...

Hubby working there, a mechanic for prison vehicles, keeps him busy.

[Jazzione]

My honey just started a new job...I havent asked him what exactly what he does or how much he gets paid...i will ask him next time we talk!

[Shaneswife68]

He works....Outside grounds...Something to do...When he was in Santa Rosa, he worked in the library and loved it!...Now, he is just passing time.

[hunnybear15]

My man works for the dept of forestry! He makes $1.00/day!

[Momoswifey]

Nope...mine doesn't work. Too busy doing time I guess...lol

[msmarrie]

Mine works in the kitchen, he says it helps to pass the time and makes him feel productive.

[ohhsochar]

He works in the kitchen doing a bunch of random stuff, no pay though.

[Easyforme]

My man is a cook and was there for three days and now on his way to fire Camp as a cook...Cooking is his passion oh and ME !

[Caparco22]

Mine works in the recycling dept. that they have. He likes it a LOT. I am so glad he has a job. I dont put anything on his books because I cannot efford it; I have other bills and things to pay and I love that he can understand that and make his money working. Gosh 2 yrs have flown by so QUICKLY! This website is a little kidish for me so most likely wont be on here long but man, im telling you....if 2 yrs go by so fast, I sure hope 4 more months does! He qualifies for work release in 4 more months!! We are just praying for bed space in that time. If we have to wait longer we will but it wont be much I am soooo thankful for this whole thing; the road that weve been on has been incredibly life changing. Our lives have been a total transfiguation of what it looked like before this all happened. Its crazy how GOD works. His plan in all of this is nothing I would have guessed would happen to me, but it did...and its been one of the highest times of my life just getting to know and love myself along with developing such a strong bond with my hubby. Its been such a ride filled with ups and downs, but the downs make it all worth it. Almost home....CANNOT BELIEVE IT!!!

[Danielle88]

He's in a work camp now but before he works on the sarg's cleaning crew with 5 other guys. He loved it cause they he had a tons of movement, they locked down 20 hrs a day.

No that he's in a work camp tho, suprisingly he doesnt work. figure that one out. The took him out Friday on a road crew to pick up trash but other wise no jobs, just $5.00 state pay.

[FutureMrsM]

Yeah, on the outside, my man and I are classically trained pastry chefs. So that's what he's doing in there...he's runnin' the show in the kitchen. My man's got skillz! They don't pay him tho.
