I’m guessing that includes overtime. A lot of those guys work 48 hour weeks, and even longer.
A friend of mine is a prison guard. He pulls in well over $100,000 per year. It’s all about the overtime.
Best I ever did was 120,000 and I was 12 on 12 off 7 days a week for 5 months of that year at a nuke plant. Plus a ton of OT at the Shell Terminal in Port Arthur, Texas. I see why Janis got the Hell out of Port Arthur
