Once the pool for some jobs gets large enough, the self selection of those who apply for it can become a problem.

From what I understand from rumors in the area, is those who couldn't become police (for whatever reason) would then go apply at the prison, and those who couldn't get a job there (and it appears they take anyone with a pulse) would go work for TSA.

Perhaps the "public servant" idea should be taken to a larger extreme, and some positions picked by lottery instead.
