Additionally, Correctional Officers work 8 - 12‑hour shifts depending on the post, are required to have the ability to work up to 16 hours in a day when overtime is necessary, are subject to call‑back at any time, and must be available to work any assigned shift, including day, swing, or graveyard. Working with Idaho's incarcerated population, correctional officers carry out the day-to-day operations of correctional institutions and have a tremendous opportunity to make a difference in an incarcerated individual's life.
