I applied in-person. The process took 9 months. I interviewed at Spokane County Detention Services (Spokane, WA) in Jan 2013
Interview
Very lengthy. This is not a job you can just apply for and get. It takes approximately 4-6 months to gain employment. Be prepared to expose every bad thing you have done in life. Do not lie about anything because they will find out and you will never get a job.
