I'm a corrections officer at a federal prison. We're "essential," so the shutdown means work as usual—a dangerous job, 12-hour shifts. The only difference? I'm not getting paid. My car broke down last week; $600 to fix it. I had to put it on a credit card. I walk into this high-security facility every day to keep the public safe, but I don't know how I'm going to buy groceries next week. #EssentialButUnpaid, #WorkingWithoutPay, #FederalPrison, #BOP, #Debt, #ShutdownStress, #PublicSafety
