WHAT DOES JAILOR MEAN IN ENGLISH?

jailor

Prison officer

A prison officer, also known as corrections officer, correctional officer, detention officer or penal officer, is a person responsible for the supervision, safety, and security of prisoners in a prison, jail, or similar form of secure custody. Historically, terms such as jailer, jail guard, prison guard, and turnkey have also been used. Corrections officers are responsible for the care, custody, and control of individuals who have been arrested and are awaiting trial while on remand or who have been convicted of a crime and sentenced to serve time in a prison or jail. They are also responsible for the safety and security of the facility itself. Most officers are employed by the government of the jurisdiction in which they operate, though some are employed by private companies.
