I guess I'm just looking for general comments on my outlook and
objectives. I plan on pursuing a Masster's degree in Criminal Justice
or a related field. I hope this doesn't put me on any sort of
management track...
Comments welcome. And thanks.

In light of your background and abilities, your interest in working as a
county CO suggests that you have poor judgement.
America's county COs (correctional officers) often lie to (and about) each
other, their supervisors, and the prisoners. Furthermore, they tend to be
unintelligent and poorly educated. In general, America's COs are best at
obeying orders and not making waves.
Paradoxically, the inside of an American county jail usually has little to
do with integrity, law, improving prisoners, or truth (which seem to
matter to you). A county CO hiring officer may rightly conclude that you
are overqualified.
