I'd say the hardest job to get rid of the "cons" would be as a prison officer in a non-death-penalty state  

I favor this more as a deep analogy....

Had a Uncle that spent his life time as a career prision guard in a Federal Penitenary, their are three things I observed about him: 

First, most folks, neighbors let alone me, did not know that he worked in a prison. 

When his wife drove him to work (I had jusr turned into a strapping dumb teenager, along for the ride) his entire demeanor,  went into overdrive to dead pan serious, to the point I almost didn't recognize him. Seemed like a twilight zone moment.

And, he never talked about work, ever.  

Even when the Feds executed Timothy McVeigh at that penitenary.  

Despite the fact he already had retired,  From his old co-workers, he heard enough. 

That prision had and still has a flawless record. Most Federal Penitenariies do.

State prisons is a different matter, generally underfunded, therefore more troublesome. 

Regardless of which, I tip my hat to these brave men, they deserve it.
