Houston, TX (prHWY.com) January 29, 2012 - The work of a correctional officer is as challenging as it is rewarding and exciting. The job description is not far from the traditional law enforcers but has elements of character judgment and firmness, qualities that makes it easier for most people to fit in just right. Coming into the field with a skill puts you on a different level and that may make your contact with prisoners even lesser, maybe even not at all!

Why then is this job ideal for those out of work? Demand for correctional officers is ever growing by the day and all statistics attest to that. 80% of all prisoners released every year end up in the legal system after several months; that is a fact. The entry requirements are not as stringent either since one only requires a high school diploma and two years' work experience. If you have sound eyesight, hearing and physical ability then you have a clean bill of health.

The remuneration for these professionals is very rewarding and many other benefits come with the package. They enjoy medical cover, uniform allowance and just like any other government employee they enjoy benefits of service. Other benefits in the package include yearly physical fitness incentive pay, education in a field of the officers choice, paid holidays. Recruitment incentives and sick leaves as well as vacation leaves. Exemplary work is definitely rewarded by promotions and this presents an opportunity to earn even more money. This is certainly a career dream as you employ your expertise and knowledge in turning prisoners into respectable and law-abiding citizens.
