Behind the Bars: Inside the World of Alberta's Correctional Officers - In this episode, we peel back the layers and delve into the extraordinary and often challenging work that correctional officers face daily.

Join us as we follow a typical day in the life of a correctional officer, shining a spotlight on the responsibilities, experiences, and the complexities they navigate within the walls of correctional facilities while maintaining safety and order within the prison system.

From the moment they step foot inside the facility, this episode takes you on a journey through the officer's day-to-day tasks, including conducting security checks, supervising inmate activities, and implementing protocols to ensure both staff and inmate well-being. We discuss the challenges they face, such as diffusing tense situations, managing conflicts, and maintaining a balance between discipline and rehabilitation.

This episode also offers listeners a glimpse into a profession that often goes unnoticed and hopes to provide a deeper appreciation for the vital role Correctional officers play in the criminal justice system, and their unwavering commitment to public safety.

Season 3 is proudly sponsored by Alberta Defensive Tactics Training owned by local Peace Officer Jamie Erickson.
