Not to be rude because I think it's cool that you're bettering yourself and trying to get stronger etc... But as far as a corrections officer or whatever your official title is... You wouldn't be my first choice, and I wouldn't want you to be my backup going into a crowded prison. How'd you land this job? Not trying to pick on you or anything, it's just you're not the first example of someone who doesn't look suitable to be a corrections officer at all.
Well, from the beginning, there's a test, then a physical, then background check and psych evaluation, and then the academy. Make it through everything, and you're in.
Say and feel what you'd like, but I really don't care. I know several people who would disagree with you, and that's what matters. Regardless of how you think I look, I've seen guys who actually look the part freeze up and not know how to react when it's needed most. I've seen guys who don't look like they'd be suitable for this job, myself included, go full bore into situations that would give you nightmares. So get over yourself. Whether or not you're trying to be rude, you're still talking shit when it's completely unwarranted. Walk my beat, then we'll talk.
