Prison librarian. The state ended the jobs of 40 or so prison librarians, all of them. They will be done in 2 or 3 weeks.

So pRick Scott can give out contracts to privatized prisons. A friend of mine worked in the administrative part of DOC here in Tallahassee and was laid off last spring. She has applied to every job she can find and has not been able to get anything.
I hope your brother can find a job somewhere.

Thanks to the thief and liar elected to office by the willfully ignorant.
I hope your brother can find meaningful employment soon.

He was probably one of the few kind people at the prison.
