Department of Corrections

The Department of Corrections is the correctional branch of Los Santos.

The Corrections Officers are in charge of watching guard and keeping inmates in line during their stay at Bolingbroke Penitentiary.

General Description
The Department of Corrections is open to legal and upstanding civilians who have been trained by either the Corrections Captains or the Warden.

The Department of Corrections is responsible for running the Bolingbroke Penitentiary, which holds inmates sentenced temporarily, sentenced for life and sentenced to death. Specially trained members of the Department are also selected to provide Bailiff services, especially for high profile court cases. The Department also is responsible for transport to and from the prison.

Members of the Department of Corrections as well as select Lifer Inmates also help run the Prison Pockets Booths, under the parent company Incarcenated Incorporated, also referred to as Incarcerated INC.. This is where prisoners can produce food and other items during their free time to sell during the week.

As of the 22nd of June 2023, the Department of Corrections was placed under the Commissioner's Office, with Sam Baas as its head with approval of the Senate.

Staff
Civilians are hired for Department of Corrections by the Personnel & Training Division. The civilians put in an application for the Department of Corrections and are then interviewed by the Recruiters. If successful, they are put into a cadet phase and attend a training day where their FTO determines if the candidate is a good fit for the Department or not.

Selected Doctors are assigned to the Department of Corrections by Stella Brand (Medical Director) to work on scene. Their primary duty is to maintain the health and well-being of prisoners and Corrections Officers.

Corrections Officers greet prisoners at the entrance gate, and operate and defend Bolingbroke Penitentiary. Select civilians, usually healthcare workers, assist prisoners with rehabilitation.

The Corrections Officers communicate on a radio frequency separate from the police department, but are able to contact LEOs or EMS. The Corrections Officers are able to observe 311 dispatch calls at all times, this ensures that they are aware ahead of time in the event of an emergency situation.
