Answer 1

The CDC academy is actually up near Sacramento, CA. Here is the link to the California Department of Corrections Cadet Handbook:

http://www.cya.ca.gov/CareerOpportunities/POR/docs/CadetHandbook.pdf

Read through it completely and it will give you absolutely all the information that you need to know to prepare for the academy. The academy is only 16 weeks so you should have no trouble getting through it.

Here is the link to the sample written test:

You can also go to a bookstore and find practice test books for the correctional officer written exam. The ARCO company is known to publish practice test books for all types of jobs.

There are many. Look on the POST website.
