The U.S. has 2.3 million people incarcerated in its jails and prisons. This population is more than the total number of American military personnel—Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, Coast Guard, Reserves, and National Guard. Even the army of correctional officers needed to guard 2.3 million prisoners outnumbers the U.S. Marines.

  Hi. I am a 28 year veteran Special Education teacher of “at-risk” teenagers and also worked as a GED Career Development Counselor for 3 years. I am looking for a paid position in the Chicago area related to my passion for assisting those who struggle with poverty and all the many related issues. Please contact me if you have any information about such a situation. I live a little ways downstate but I have a place to live in Chicago. Thank you.
