Haven't sold the house yet so we really are behind and it sounds like you,Den, and alot of the others are already sorted!
Holding on to the fact that it could be our last Christmas in this country :) A relative said she didnt know how we would find not spending Christmas in the cold, as that was how its meant to be!!! Yeah, real hardship!!!

Well why dont you start a new thread :rolleyes:

Thats not a bad idea. I take it you mean a thread where all the Prison Officers can go to share stories, experiences and concerns. One with information relative to what we're going to be doing?


LIKE THIS ONE.

Why do we need to start another thread?

This thread has been a godsend for all the prison staff going or hoping to find out more info on NZ. What new thread would we start anyway - it would only have the same subject heading.

You may find that one of the other threads may be of more interest to you on the home page - there are plenty to choose from.

Just found website, great to hear from other people off to NZ. I am going to ChCh not sure which prison yet. I am on the Febuary course. Just got back passports with PR visas, already sold house and living in rented, just about to book flight.

Thanks Den for the insight it has certainly helped as I am sure we all have some doubts. Hope to see some of you on the course, I would like to know more about shift patterns etc form any body already there. would like to here from anybody going to ChCh area as well.

May the force be with you........

Hey Sugo! Hows it going in Welly!!

We're called Screws coz in days of yore prisoners were made to walk on a wheel called a treadmill. If the staff wanted to make it harder for the miscreant, they used to tighten a screw.

I think thats right. Anyone?

Of course, every new member of staff thinks they're the first one to come up, 'I'm the best screw in town! Ha Ha!!' Yeh, we all laugh.....

Just start another thread :)
Ya know ... spread the lurve around.
The more threads the more user specific they are. If a new prison officer stumbled across your thread it would take them till next month to read through it.
All Im saying :D
Sorry :o
