involve punishments, such as loss of privileges.
2. SUPERVISE THE ACTIVITIES OF INMATES: Correctional officers supervise
the daily activities of inmates, ensuring that inmates obey the rules. They
must also ensure the whereabouts of all inmates at all times. Officers also
escort prisoners between the institution and courtrooms, medical
facilities, and other destinations. 3 3

in the rehabilitation efforts by scheduling work assignments, counseling, and
educational opportunities.
