Working in Corrections: First Responder Behind the Walls
This week on Answering the Call - The First Responder Podcast, we welcome our good friend, comedian and host of Rock Bottom 2 Recovery, Bill Farrell, back to the set. You may have caught him on our Friends in Recovery Podcast last week. Tonight, he is sharing with us a bit about his personal and professional background as a first responder.
Bill loves working as a Corrections Officer in Suffolk County/Boston Area of Massachusetts. He’s been in the profession for about 14 years since the age of 38, since he transitioned from working in construction (Laborers Local 223). However, he reminds us about how the unique challenges of the job are often overlooked by the general public.
Bill also serves as an Employee Assistance Professional, helping his colleagues and their families to process stress and promote mental health.
Can’t get enough of Bill? Check out his very own podcast: Rock Bottom 2 Recovery:
