Screw Rick Ross
Despite denials, records show rap star worked as corrections officer
JULY 21--Apparently desperate to distance himself from any affiliation with law enforcement, the rapper Rick Ross has recently denounced as fake photos purporting to show him in a former career as a Florida prison guard. But Department of Corrections (DoC) records show that Ross, whose raps detail the Miami gangster lifestyle and his supposed days trafficking cocaine, did, in fact, work as a correctional officer for 18 months. Ross (real name: William Leonard Roberts) was appointed a prison guard in December 1995 at a salary of $22,913.54, according to the below personnel record, which was provided to TSG by Jo Ellyn Rackleff, a DoC spokesperson. The rapper's social security number is identical to that of the jail guard. According to the official document, Ross was earning $25,794.34 when he resigned in June 1997. After graduating from the DoC training academy, Ross was assigned to the South Florida Reception Center in Dade County (the lockup is one of three statewide that serves as an intake facility for new prisoners). When a photo of a uniform-clad Ross surfaced last week on MediaTakeOut.com, the 32-year-old performer claimed to AllHipHop.com that unnamed "online hackers" put "my face when I was a teenager in high school on other peoples' body. If this shit was real don't you think they would have more specifics, like dates and everything?" He added, "Fake pictures are created by the fake, meant to entertain the fake." The photo, which you can find here, shows a 19-year-old Ross at a DoC ceremony (he was part of the department's 60th graduating class). He is pictured shaking hands with Marta Villacorta, who then headed the South Florida Reception Center. Villacorta, now the department's South Florida regional director, was identified by Rackleff, who examined the photo Ross claims was Photoshopped. In a recent videotaped interview, Ross replied, "No, that's not true" when asked if he had worked as a prison guard. He claimed that the phony story was being circulated by detractors upset by his success in the rap world, where, "I came out of nowhere and just took over the streets."

Way to repost something that was in this thread like 6 pages ago!
Co's are not cops. They do not have the powers to arrest anyone. People are not using the CO position as a stepping stone toward becoming a LEO. In california if your a CO you cannot laterally use that experience toward becoming a cop. You need to go through the whole process and pass all the test and what not.
"I didn't know why he was gone at first," remembers Lucas. "It didnt really hit me until I went to visit him in prision. It was a shock for me to see my father being abused.... C.O. choking him with a nihtstick and them shackling him up and dragging him off"- Frank Lucas Jr. , Son of Frank Lucas (see: american gangster)

Finnish prison guard
A corrections officer, correctional officer, detention officer, jail guard, prison guard, prison warder, or prison officer, is a person charged with the responsibility of the supervision, safety and security of prisoners in a prison, jail, or similar form of secure custody. In unformal language, term jailer is also used [1][2].
These officers are responsible for the care, custody, and control of individuals who have been arrested and are awaiting trial while on remand, or who have been convicted of a crime and sentenced to serve time in a prison or jail. They are also responsible for the safety and security of a correctional facility. Most prison officers are employed by the Government of the country in which they operate though some are employed by private companies.

[edit] Working environment
A correctional officer's job is often considered dangerous with inmate confrontations resulting in many injuries a year. A correctional officer's working environment can vary considerably with some correctional institutions being modern, well lit, air-conditioned and ventilated while others are old, overcrowded, and noisy. Correctional officers often work on a rotating shift basis including weekends and holidays.
Because a correctional institution is a controlled environment inmates will often attempt to disrupt that environment. Various remedies for such disruptions, including physical and less than lethal force, isolation and less lethal weaponry are often adopted depending on the type of correctional facility and its jurisdiction.
The duties a correctional officer carries out will often depend on the type of institution in which they work. For instance, a correctional officer at a minimum security institution may be responsible for casually supervising inmates as they work or participate in treatment programs while at a maximum security institution a correctional officer would have duties involving the regular use of restraints, weapon searches, and tactical response.
[edit] Training
Correctional officer training will vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction as well facility to facility depending on the legislated power given, the nature of the facilities, or even the socio-economic conditions of the region. Training may be provided by external agencies or at the facility with a peer-group or supervisor instructor.

If you get in a fight in jail/prison or get found with contraband do the CO's arrest you? or do they call 911 and have a police officer come and arrest you?
