Female prison warden

Prison wardens are high-ranking officials who oversee prisons. They are responsible for the safe, secure, and efficient operation of prisons. They also oversee all prison staff to ensure proper and consistent adherence to all applicable laws, rules, standards, and facility-specific policies. Prison wardens are employed at all levels of government and the private sector. They work in the Bureau of Prisons within the U. Department of Justice, state prisons, and private prisons that contract with states.

One wanted to teach small children. Another sold women's shoes. The third considered being a nurse. And the fourth expected to work in corporate America. All four say they are doing just fine, and none considers it an anomaly to have risen to top positions in a historically male-dominated field at the Arizona Department of Corrections. The quartet are wardens at four of the state's 10 public prisons, running what essentially are small towns — with metal bars and razor wire — in Goodyear, Winslow, Yuma and Douglas. Along with managing correctional officers, the wardens are responsible for food service, maintenance, wastewater, and, of course, keeping inmates locked up.

Women have served as prison and correctional officers since the early 19th century in London. The focus of research on female correctional officers has mostly been comparatively discussing the male officers' experience versus the female officer's experience. A number of studies are extensions of interviews or surveys solely of corrections staff and commonly emphasize employment opportunities and working conditions with an inclusion of legal and social obstacles, such as differing types of discrimination, that female officers face on a regular basis, in their respective field. Increased interest in the distinction of gender for workers in correctional facilities has some relevance to the shift in this occupation being predominantly male-dominated to, in some cases, being more female-dominated.
