I am now almost finished studying to become a Correctional officer, and I want you to learn about it too.

They maintain order in correctional institutions and other places of detention. They make sure that everyone is safe and that the offenders are on guard.
On a typical day, correctional officers wake the prisoner out of there room, make them go take there breakfast, and they make sure everyone is there. They then follow a specific schedule and make some round to see if everyone is fine. Sometimes, they meet some prisoners at their desk to be certain that everything is good, and to prepare them to quit the institution.
They work in prison or penitentiary.
