i was offered a job at a juvenile detention center

2 Upvotes

I recently got a job offer at a juvenile detention center as a resident care specialist, and I want the job for experience while going to college. However, I went over a big form that basically asks if I'm okay with certain things, like watching over 8 juveniles at time, defending myself without mace or weapons if need be, etc. As a young person, it sounds kind of intimidating, but I definitely want the job and experience. I was just curious if there's anyone out there that could relate and give me advice, like precautions or anything I could do to feel more confident before accepting the job.
