It is no secret that the biggest challenge facing our nation’s jails and prisons is understaffing. Throughout 2022, correctional facilities went to great lengths to attract new corrections officers.
We’ve compiled the best correctional officer recruitment videos of the year, including one international candidate. We asked Corrections1 readers, “Which video do you think should take the top spot?”
After all the votes were tallied Delaware Department of Correction took the top spot. Congratulations!
