" People think it's like The Films and TV - locking doors and fights Breaking Out all The Time - But that's not The reality, " she tells BBC Newsbeat.
" We Are here to help people, rehabilitate them and ultimately make sure The Public are safe. "

She says she always wanted to help people and her role is " step one of making that come true".
Megan says working at Woodhill - Home to Some - Can be " intimidating at times" But she's never felt scared.
The First Time stepping on The Wing " kind of hits you - The Smell , The atmosphere, " she says.
" But it's nothing to Be Afraid of.
" At The End of The Day The Job is about working with people and being able to talk and I like to think I'm a good communicator. "
Megan is familiar with many of The Inmates on The Wing , who are long-term offenders.
This means they have their own cells and don't share with other inmates, and are given between 30 Minutes to an hour A Day for exercise.
