I applied in-person. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Kentucky State Penitentiary (Eddyville, KY) in Jan 2018
Interview
They tell you what you want to hear, shake your hand, hand you a handbook, make you go pee, and kick you out. Simple interview. Just go in and act calm, and most likely you will receive an offer. It’s not a hard job, but they need serious people who work hard.
