Workforce now days ? Is it just me ?

Problem is there are more inmates these days than people who can pass a drug and back ground check. I worked for the public defender in my county and we always had a staffing shortage and I did so many 12 hour ...even a lot of 16 hour shifts in my time there. It often felt like the clients were just swarming in with no end in sight. Seriously outnumbered and over worked. Now I am trying to go to the prosecution side and the same thing is happening, I cant even remember the last time I worked a regular 8 hour shift that didn't turn into a 12+ hour "**** show" shift.

Inmates are way too spoiled, they can have tantrums, act stupid, and put people's safety at risk, yet they still get 3 squares a day and a warm place to sleep. Heaven forbid an officer tell them anything to hurt their little feelings because they will threaten to sue. It's exhausting
