The problem with comparing us with prison officers is supply and demand.
How many folk apply to become firefighters compared to prison officers.
I don't know the answer, but I would speculate hundreds of firefighter applications per post versus not very many to become a prison officer.

Off topic but Scottish Prison Service looking to recruit officers
A poor salary for such a job, £20,000 to £23,373 is way short of what a prison officer should be receiving. Even with the announced pay agreement they are underpaid.
We all have opinions, thank god they are not all the same, or there would be no debate.

Yes knotty you are underpaid.
But not as much as them knotty.
Given the choice of being a ff or a prison officer I would rather be a ff.
£20,000, to £23,350 is a poor wage for what they do.

The prison officers will soon catch us up and they're not being told to take on another emergency services remit to secure a decent (ish) increase.
Maybe we should all be applying to be hydrant ops.
Why not apply to join then knotty. You obviously think they have a better job
