In 1984, President Ronald Reagan announced the first week in May as National Correctional Officers Week. Stating in part, “Correctional officers have the difficult and often dangerous assignment of ensuring the custody, safety, and well-being of the over 600,000 inmates in our Nation’s prisons and jails. Their position is essential to the day-to-day operations of these institutions; without them, it would be impossible to achieve the foremost institutional goals of security and control. Historically, correctional officers have been viewed as “guards,” occupying isolated and misunderstood positions in prisons and jails. In recent years, the duties of these officers have become increasingly complex and demanding. They are called upon to fill simultaneously custodial, supervisory, and counseling roles.

The important work of Correctional Officers often does not receive the recognition from the public it deserves. It is appropriate that we honor the many contributions and accomplishments of these men and women who are a vital component of the field of corrections.”
