ABSTRACT

I took the test for the department of corrections, scored decently on it-I

think I scored a ninety-and was passed over. A guy and I had exactly the same

score, and he started to w ork at the prison on July 7 . I started the eighteenth of

December; I was hired with people who scored in the seventies. They didn’t

want to hire wom en at the time, so they were passing us by. The week after I

was hired, they were hiring people who hadn’t even taken the test.
