The criminal justice system is in a recruitment crisis. Correction Officers (yes, those uniformed individuals who work inside the local, State, and Federal Prisons and have military titles such as Captain, Corporal, etc.) are retiring faster than new COs can be recruited to replace them. Considering that the intake of justice-involved individuals has barely slowed down, this puts the recruiting efforts of the system in crisis.  Like with any career path, the more informed people are about what a career path as a CO encompasses, the better chance that local jails and State and Federal prisons will have in recruiting new hires.
