Correctional Officer II
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). Do NOT repeat the job title as a heading. Do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it. Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. IMPORTANT: include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it — never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g. "commensurate with experience", "not specified", "N/A", "varies", "TBD") and never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. We need to parse the posting. Key content: - Overview: description of duties: supervisory work involving custody, treatment, training of incarcerated individuals; supervises correctional staff and incarcerated individuals; supervision and technical assistance to lower ranking officers; work per SOP; under supervision of shift supervisor; may conduct transportation of medication; responsible for conducting searches and inventories; evaluates staff and performance; evaluates trends; may prepare written report; may investigate grievances and participate in disciplinary hearings; may participate in revision and implementation of facility procedures and programs; performs related duties as required. - Schedule: This position follows a 2-2-3 schedule. Explanation of schedule. - Overtime: Overtime work is required to maintain safe staffing levels and is considered a condition of employment. - Who May Apply: This position, Correctional Officer II (Job Requisition #55782), is open to all State employees and external applicants. Contact email. Resumes not accepted via email; must apply online. Note multiple positions may be filled. - Environmental Factors: duties performed largely within correctional facility; high stress; potential of physical assault; transportation and supervision of inmates outside facility may be required; valid motor vehicle operator's license required; overtime and emergency duty predictable; shift assignments may change. - Minimum Qualifications: list of three options. - Physical and Mental Requirements: mental and physical condition appropriate; note about felony waiver; misdemeanor within past 5 years; etc. - DOC PREA Requirements: description. - Conviction History Requirements: similar. - Special Requirements: Overtime work required; ability to work overtime essential; candidates must pass background investigation; AHS Policy 4.02 details. - Total Compensation: description of benefits: 80% State paid medical premium, dental plan no cost, 12 paid holidays, generous leave plan, State Paid Family and Medical Leave Insurance (FMLI), two ways to save for retirement (defined benefit pension, deferred compensation 457(b)), Tuition Reimbursement, Flexible spending healthcare and childcare reimbursement accounts, Low cost group life insurance, Incentive-based Wellness Program, Qualified Employer for Public Service Student Loan Forgiveness Program. - Equal Opportunity Employer: boilerplate to remove. We need to remove boilerplate: EEO, equal-opportunity, scam-warning, application instructions? The instruction says remove application instructions. So we should remove lines about applying online, contact email, resumes not accepted via email, etc. Also remove "Who May Apply" maybe? It's partly application instruction but also contains info about who may apply (open to all State employees and external applicants). The instruction says remove application instructions, but we can keep substantive info about eligibility? The line "Who May Apply This position, Correctional Officer II (Job Requisition #55782), is open to all State employees and external applicants." That's substantive about eligibility. The rest about contact email, resumes not accepted via email, apply online, multiple positions may be filled - those are application instructions. We should keep the eligibility statement but drop the rest. Similarly, "Environmental Factors" is substantive. "Minimum Qualifications" is substantive. "Physical and Mental Requirements" is substantive. "DOC PREA Requirements" is substantive. "Conviction History Requirements" is substantive. "Special Requirements" is substantive (overtime, background investigation). "Total Compensation" is substantive (benefits). "Equal Opportunity Employer" is boilerplate to remove. We also need to include Schedule section because posting states schedule details. So we need a
Schedule
with description. Pay section: not mentioned specific pay; only total compensation benefits. No explicit pay amount. So we should not create Pay section because no specific pay stated. Benefits: we have total compensation description; we could create a Benefits section with the list of benefits. The instruction: Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. Could combine Benefits and maybe Overview? But we need headings for sections we include. We could have sections: Overview (or About the role), Responsibilities, Requirements (maybe combine Minimum Qualifications and Physical and Mental Requirements?), Benefits, Schedule. However we need to follow the instruction: use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can choose appropriate headings.
We need to preserve all substantive information. So we need to include details from each section.
Potential plan:
- About the role
: overview description (first paragraph). Could also include duties like supervising staff, conducting searches, etc.
- Responsibilities
: maybe list of duties: supervises correctional staff and incarcerated individuals; provides supervision and technical assistance to lower ranking officers; conducts transportation of medication; conducts searches and inventories; evaluates staff and performance; evaluates trends; prepares written reports; investigates grievances; participates in disciplinary hearings; participates in revision and implementation of facility procedures and programs; performs related duties as required.
- Requirements
: could include Minimum Qualifications, Physical and Mental Requirements, DOC PREA, Conviction History, Special Requirements (background investigation, overtime). But we might split into Qualifications and Requirements? The instruction gives examples: Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We could have Qualifications
for minimum qualifications; Requirements
for physical/mental, PREA, conviction history, special requirements; Benefits
for total compensation; Schedule
for schedule; maybe Environmental Factors
but not in list; we could incorporate into About the role or Responsibilities.
We need to avoid creating sections with filler. So each heading must have real content.
Let's decide on sections:
- About the role (overview)
- Responsibilities (duties)
- Qualifications (minimum qualifications)
- Requirements (physical/mental, PREA, conviction history, special requirements)
- Benefits (total compensation)
- Schedule (2-2-3 schedule)
We should not include Pay.
Now we need to format lists with - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use
for prose.
We need to preserve all substantive information, not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep the exact wording? Not necessarily exact but preserve all info. We can rephrase but must not lose detail. Safer to keep close to original.
Let's extract each piece.
About the role: "Correctional Officers II provide supervisory work involving the custody, treatment and training of incarcerated individuals confined within a correctional facility. Supervises correctional staff and incarcerated Individuals in a correctional setting. Supervision and technical assistances are provided to lower ranking officers in a unit, or as part of their on-the-job training. Work is performed in accordance with standard operating procedures of the facility, and under the supervision of a shift supervisor or a technical superior who makes assignments and reviews work through personal observation and report May conduct transportation of medication form clinical facility to the correctional facility which includes verifying correct medication and count. Is responsible for conducting searches and inventories of property, sharps, and other inventories as needed. Evaluates both staff and performance in relation to assigned duties and roles, evaluates trends in behavior and performance may prepare written report on under his or her supervision. May investigate grievances and participate in disciplinary hearings may participate in revision and implementation of facility procedures and programs. Performs related duties as required."
We need to fix grammar but keep meaning.
Responsibilities: Could be a list of duties derived from above. But we might just keep the overview as About the role and not duplicate. However we need to avoid duplication. The instruction says remove duplicated lines. So we should not repeat same content in multiple sections. So we need to decide where each piece goes.
Better: About the role: general overview paragraph. Responsibilities: bullet list of specific duties. Qualifications: bullet list of minimum qualifications options. Requirements: bullet list of physical/mental, PREA, conviction history, special requirements. Benefits: bullet list of benefits. Schedule: paragraph describing 2-2-3.
We must ensure we don't duplicate content. So we need to split the overview into About the role (general) and Responsibilities (specific duties). Let's parse.
General overview: "Correctional Officers II provide supervisory work involving the custody, treatment and training of incarcerated individuals confined within a correctional facility. Supervises correctional staff and incarcerated Individuals in a correctional setting.

Work is performed in accordance with standard operating procedures of the facility, and under the supervision of a shift supervisor or a technical superior who makes assignments and reviews work through personal observation and report."
Then specific duties: "May conduct transportation of medication form clinical facility to the correctional facility which includes verifying correct medication and count. Is responsible for conducting searches and inventories of property, sharps, and other inventories as needed. Evaluates both staff and performance in relation to assigned duties and roles, evaluates trends in behavior and performance may prepare written report on under his or her supervision. May investigate grievances and participate in disciplinary hearings may participate in revision and implementation of facility procedures and programs. Performs related duties as required."
We can keep that as responsibilities.
Now Qualifications: Minimum Qualifications options:
- High school diploma or equivalent AND eighteen months (18) or more of work experience in a correctional system involving the custody of inmates or in a psychiatric facility involving the direct care of patients.
- OR Associate's degree or higher AND one (1) or more years of work experience in a correctional system.
- OR One (1) or more years of military experience AND one (1) or more years of work experience in a correctional system.
We need to preserve that.
Requirements: Physical and Mental Requirements: "Mental and physical condition appropriate to successfully perform, with or without reasonable accommodation, the essential job functions." plus note about felony waiver: "Note: The Department of Corrections does not hire anyone who has been convicted of a felony without a waiver from the Commissioner of Corrections. Any person under supervision or sanctioned for a misdemeanor conviction within the past 5 years is likewise ineligible for employment without a waiver."
DOC PREA Requirements: paragraph.
Conviction History Requirements: similar to note but more detailed: "Candidates who have any felony conviction record or who, within the past five (5) years, have been placed under supervision or sanctioned for a misdemeanor conviction must receive a waiver from the Commissioner of Corrections in order to be considered for employment. You may access the application and corresponding documents by clicking here. Once you have completed the application, please send it directly to the hiring manager identified as the contact person in this job posting." However the latter part about accessing application is application instruction; we should remove that. So keep only the waiver requirement.
Special Requirements: "Overtime work is required to maintain safe staffing levels and is considered a condition of employment. The ability to work overtime as required is considered an essential
