I was going to make a joke like "He probably wanted to do less stressful work."

Then I read that it's not far from the truth: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32554517

Correctional Officer is the job that requires the least amount of work of any job I have ever encountered. You literally do nothing the entire day. If your facility is cool you can just play Angry Birds on your phone or desktop all day, or read a book if they're not that cool. You can get infinity overtime at double or triple pay.

Plus, you get the added bonus of making the lives of everyone around you as miserable as you desire.

I walk around, stand around, turn keys, and tell inmates no for about 10% of my day. The rest is cake.
