This is one way to fail your probation when you're hired as a corrections officer.

Not sure where you live. I live in a small town in Wyoming of 500-600 people with a low cost of living. We use a fine based system to keep our cops robustly funded (about 60 % of the budget). There are years that our chief of a department of five, in a little town that doesn't even have a stop light, has been pretty deep into six figures. Heck, he makes more than our county attorney. Of course, the tourists pay for it.I have typically found that anyone in LE, corrections, etc., are living either just barely at middle class or slightly under it.
