Matt, Senior Correctional Officer: What I like best about my job is giving the inmates skills to help them reintegrate back into society.

(Matt supervising inmates in their work-related activities within a correctional centre.)

Claire, Correctional Officer: We see women come in and we see them leave and pick their lives up and make the most of it. They learn tools in here through programs that equips them for life on the outside which can be really great to watch.

Claire: The camaraderie when you get into the facility is really excellent, we call each other blue and we have each other's backs all the time.
