Corrections
Associate in Applied Science
Corrections officers are charged with safekeeping persons who have been arrested, are awaiting trial or are in a correctional institution. These officers maintain order within the institution, enforce rules and regulations and often supplement counseling that inmates received from mental health professionals. In addition to being prison/jail guards, corrections officers can work in other related positions, such as juvenile facilities.
