each yard has its own chow hall. each yard has different custody level, some GP, some PC. We have walking 5's at our max, crazy, Huh? we have lifers that can program themselves down to level 3-4 yards. Higher custody yards have 2 man cells, you run showers, lower custody yards are dorm style with showers in each run. Walk down a dorm run of 30-40 inmates with no bars holding them back, just you and your keys/mace with back-up minutes away. Usually you have 2 dorms to walk, twelve runs, no body looking after your 6, always short staffed, your next officer to respond is probably asleep on graves 3 buildings over, probably weighs 300 pounds and will have a coronary responding to your emergency. There is no control room officer watching over you, you are that control room officer also.You better know your stuff !
