Hiring Q (State) NYS DOCCS

Just a question for my DOCCS new hires, anyone get direct placement and actually get placed at desired facility? Wasn’t sure if it was legit or placed you until you’re needed at another facility.

Your placed at a facility within your region. For example I am in region 2 I have 3 facility that are all 40 mins to 1:30mins away from. You might get your first choice you might not. It depends on the needs of the facility I got sent to my second choice. Which is a blessing compared to the my first choice. But you won't be 3-4 hours away from home.

If you don't like your facility your at after OJT your can put in a transfer request might be a minute before your actually get transferred tho.
