Jack Higgins
Jack was one of the first people Cassidy truly got close to in the city. Jack was the first person who heard the full story about Cassidy's past and the real reason why she joined the Department of Corrections. They dated from October 2021 until January 2022; Cassidy ultimately broke up with him due to her heavily disagreeing with Jack's views on justice as well as their communication and relationship began to falter after Cassidy was promoted higher in the ranks than Jack within the DOC. They said they could still be friends but it's still awkward between the two.

Eryn Carter
Cassidy met Eryn through the work in the Department of Corrections. Eryn and Cassidy share a close friendship; Cassidy considers Eryn to be her best friend and the person she trusts the most - even with some of Cassidy's deepest secrets. Cassidy and Eryn's friendship grew even more after Eryn was hospitalized following a bad riot at the prison; Cassidy went out of her way to be there for Eryn and visit Eryn as much as possible in the hospital to be there for her. Eryn even told Cassidy that when she first woke up in the ICU she was calling out for Cassidy as the one person she trusted and knew would be there for her.

Hanna Baker
Hanna and Cassidy met when Hanna was hired to the Department of Corrections as a cadet. Hanna and Cassidy began to talk and hang out with each other a lot more after Hanna was attacked by the serial killer group known as the Smileys; Cassidy began to feel a friendship for Hanna at that point. Eventually, however, their friendship began to deteriorate after Hanna began to pressure Cassidy into a more than friends relationship and Hanna continued to get too close to other serial killers. Despite this, Cassidy still cares a great deal about Hanna and demanded that Hanna put Cassidy on her emergency contact's list in case anything were to go wrong while she was out there in the world because she "didn't want to find out she was dead from a newspaper".

Oliver Crawford
Cassidy and Crawford have an on again off again friendship. They began to become close when Cassidy was a Senior Corrections Officer but things began to become rocky after Crawford made several major mistakes that put his career on the line, which in turn caused Crawford to get clingy to the only person he gained any hope and encouragement from - Cassidy. Cassidy began to detest this clingy attitude and it has fractured their friendship, along with Cassidy regretting spilling a secret to him as she cannot shake the feeling that he does not trust her. On March 3 2022 after finding out that Crawford had betrayed Cassidy's trust by breaking a promise to not tell others about a secret she had shared with him and finding out that he had feelings for her that she did not reciprocate, Cassidy told Crawford that they were no longer friends.

Meddroid
Meddroid was one of the lifers at Bolingbroke that Cassidy had gotten closest to during her time as an officer for the Department of Corrections. Cassidy and Med had a close bond, far closer than was normal for an inmate and a CO. Their relationship developed beyond just a friendship after Cassidy was infected with a fungal infection that compromised her normal decision making skills; despite that, the feelings never went away and Cassidy began to pursue a relationship with him. After much back and forth they finally agreed to get in a relationship even though they knew it may lead to tragedy and heartbreak due to their differing lives. Ultimately, before they killed each other, they loved each other deeply and shared a bond no one else could really understand.

Ethan Maxwell
Cassidy and Ethan started to become friends as they began working together. Ethan was the first person to encourage Cassidy that she was doing good work in the department and that he saw the potential to succeed. They also hung out off duty multiple times and began to become friends. Their friendship only developed further once their relationship in the department turned into Captain for Cassidy with Ethan being the Warden. Cassidy eventually saw Ethan as one of her best friends and who she could have trusted with her life and she couldn't wait to go to PD with Ethan and go through their training together.

James McTavish
McTavish and Cassidy met when he was hired for the Department of Corrections. McTavish quickly grew to respect Cassidy as an individual and supported her and encouraged her to succeed within the department. McTavish was the famed creator of the special "cowboy hat" group and gave a hat to Cassidy first, having deemed her worthy of wearing it. Their relationship was built upon a lot of trust and Cassidy saw him as a brother that she would give her life for if needed. Much like Ethan, Cassidy could not wait to be in PD with McTavish and train together again.

Diamond Black
Diamond and Cassidy met with Diamond being the main FTO who trained Cassidy during her cadet phases with the Department of Corrections. They then became friends upon realizing they had a very similar approach and mindset and Diamond began to see Cassidy as someone she could trust. Their friendship was destroyed when after Diamond was demoted due to allegations of her sleeping with an inmate impacting her judgment, Diamond confessed to Cassidy that she had to restrain herself from attacking the members of command when they demoted her. Cassidy ultimately became a whistleblower and alerted command to the discussion, which resulted in Diamond getting fired and Diamond attempting to shoot members of command on her way out the door. Cassidy and Diamond have had a strained relationship since then and Cassidy still does not know if Diamond knows that she was the reason that Diamond got fired.
