Corrections Officer Law and Legal Definition. A corrections officer is an officer responsible for the custody, safety, security, and supervision of inmates in a prison or any other correctional facility. Traditionally, terms such as jailer, jail guard, prison guard, and turnkey were used to refer to a corrections officer.
How much do corrections officers get paid and what kinds of corrections officer jobs can I get?
