Topic: The Club House / Dishonest Correction Officers

Over half (58 percent) of the Correctional Officers who had substantiated allegations of misconduct, and who received discipline of at least a 1-day suspension between 2001 and 2009, were disciplined for conduct that occurred within their first 2 years of service. It has been identified that 1,020 Correctional Officers hired during that time period who had had substantiated misconduct allegations, such as physical abuse of an inmate or misuse of government computers, resulting in at least a 1-day suspension. Of those 1,020 Correctional Officers, 587 were disciplined for behavior that occurred within 2 years of their start dates. It seems to be some cracking down of the misconduct of corrections officers, but its sad to know that people are not even safe in the prison system.
