I don't what DOC offers today, but back in the day it offered health care coverage from day one. That was a huge benefit most other places didn't offer. Some other things the state can do are offer discounted college tuition, offer more trailer housing space, update the gyms with better equipment, and offer free group physical training and nutritional advice. All of these incentives could help offset the lack of salary and it would be at a minimal cost to the state. Of course, a salary increase would be best but is not going to happen in this day and age. Good luck!

FDC needs to pay more money if they want to stop the turnover rate!
The idea of FDC thinking they can recruit and retain correctional officers with such a low salary with no step plan is just wishful thinking. Even detention deputies working at county jails make way more.
FDC should follow the county jails example of having the starting salary around $45k with a step plan. But no, FDC would rather waste taxpayers money to train and certify each correctional officer just for them to jump ship for another high paying job at a sheriff county jail.

It makes no sense but its happening on the prison side and the probation side. My office has lost five good officers in one year and replaced by two and ones in the academy and he wont be ready for months. We also have five veterans officers planning on leaving in the next 6-7 months. It will be a disaster for the office. And the powers that be will do nothing. Let it sink!

Turnover.
I began my career in the CJS in 1993 with P&P and quit in 1996 to go to a local law enforcement agency. I retired recently at age 47 and my pension is $60,000 a year. I would of NEVER saw that at DC . You guys complain about the same things we did back then. DC is like a Mc Donald’s job it’s not meant to be a career. Get a few years experience and move on or you’ll be miserable. After reading some of these posts it doesn’t take too long to get that way at DC.
