First of all I have identified the number of employees in a state correctional system as per occupational category. Below are the occupational categories:
1. Administrators
2. Correctional offcers
3. Clerical/maintenance
4. Educational
5. Professional/technical
6. Others
Below is the composition details:
1. Administrators - 2 to 3%
2. Correctional offcers - 65 to 70%
3. Clerical/maintenance - 10 to 15%
4. Educational - 2 to 3%
5. Professional/technical - 8 to 10%
6. Others - 5 to 7%
For a state correctional facility, based on the past records and data collected from Census of State and Federal Correctional Facilities, on an average 120 number of employees are required in a state correctional system whose breakup as per occupational categories is as below:
1. Administrators - 5
2. Correctional offcers - 75
3. Clerical/maintenance - 15
4. Educational - 5
