McALESTER – After a recent cadet graduation, the Jackie Brannon Correctional Center (JBCC) is at 100 percent staffing for correctional officers. According to Department of Corrections (DOC) recruiting records, the JBCC facility is the only fully staffed prison in the state. A recent spike in applicants for correctional officer positions has led to more academies and the DOC adding a special academy to accommodate the waiting list. The DOC is approximately 28 percent understaffed for correctional officers, a 12 percent decrease since July.
