I worked for the California state system, starting as a Correctional Officer and retiring as a Lieutenant in 2005. I now write for the PacoVilla blog which is concerned with what could broadly be called The Correctional System.
I am unsure what you want. I don't see a question here. I am GUESSING that you want me to supply information on the "old" system versus the "new" system. Since I have now been out for more than 12 years I don't think I will be able to supply much help. Sorry.

Assuming you are no longer on probation or parole it is not an issue having normal social interactions with working peace officers. it is no problem at all with retired peace officers either. as a convicted felon you do, however, have issues with being on prison grounds (you can't go onto prison grounds without the expressed permission of the warden) so if some of them live on grounds that might be an issue. you also want to avoid being in personal possession of firearms or ammunition. good luck.

My opinion, for what that may be worth is, generally speaking, no.

I don't know. In California the state maintains a web site that can tell you what job an individual person has with the state, but not necessarily the location. There are 33 prisons in CA so you would have to call each individual prison and check with the personnel office. At least in CA the information is not confidential. Other employers might have different ways of doing things. Now days there are lots of commercial web sites that can locate an individual for a modest fee, so as long as you have a name and an approximate age or birth date it shouldn't be that hard.

For starters you should NEVER be in that position in the first place. Assuming it did happen, you go with the bird in the hand and keep custody of the prisoner you have. You might be justified in shooting at the fleeing prisoner, but you would not deliberately loose the one you still have to maybe catch the one who is running.

I dealt only with convicted felons doing time, not pre-trial detainees. That being said a person in custody can request pretty much anything they want pretty much any time they want it. That doesn't mean they will get it. Unless a person is obviously mentally disturbed or is asserting that they intend to hurt themselves or others I am unsure how quickly jail staff would act in those cases. I expect it depends on the individual jurisdiction.

I am sorry but I have no idea what you are asking about. Is this income taxes?
