Jails, Prisons, and Security Levels
The job of a correctional officer is to oversee the arrestees who have been arrested and
are awaiting trial, to be released on bond, to their own recognizance, or who have been sentenced
to serve time in jail or prison. The job of working in a correctional facility can be incredibly
stressful and sometimes dangerous, but so can any job. Correctional officers have one of the
highest rates of injuries and illnesses of all occupations, often resulting from confrontations with

recognizance. The other thing is offenders that are adjudicated guilty will only serve jail
sentences for one year or less in a jail. Those crimes being misdemeanors for substance abuse
issues, domestic crimes, and public safety issues. Prisons are for offenders that have committed
crimes that require sentences longer than a year, for example, murder, drug dealing, burglary.
Prisons also have higher security levels then a jail, whereas as a jail sees arrestees come and go
on a regular basis, prison inmates are not allowed outside the gates until they finish the
