Experience
Correctional Officer
May 2007 — Present · Baltimore, MD, US
Enforce Rules and Keep Order: Enforce Rules and Keep Order: Inside the prison or jail, correctional officers enforce rules and regulations. They maintain security by settling disputes between inmates, preventing disturbances, assaults, and escapes. Officers enforce regulations through effective communication and the use of progressive sanctions, which involve punishments, such as loss of privileges.Supervise the Activities of Inmates: Correctional officers supervise the daily activities of inmates, ensuring that inmates obey the rules. They must also ensure the whereabouts of all inmates at all times. Officers also escort prisoners between the institution and courtrooms, medical facilities, and other destinations.Search for Contraband Items: Officers search inmates and their living quarters for contraband, such as weapons and drugs. In addition officers are responsible for screening visitors and incoming mail to ensure contraband is not brought into the prison or jail.Inspect Facilities to Ensure That They Meet Standards: Correctional officers periodically inspect facilities. They check cells and other areas for unsanitary conditions, contraband, signs of a security breach (such as tampering with window bars and doors), and any other evidence of violations of the rules.Aid in Rehabilitation and Counseling of Offenders: As many prisons and jails are often incredibly understaffed, correctional officers with advanced training or college educations are often utilized in the rehabilitation and counseling of offenders. In addition, correctional officers also participate in the rehabilitation efforts by scheduling work assignments, counseling, and educational opportunities.
