What states does correction officer have the same powers as police officers?

Some states give corrections officers the same peace officer powers as police officers, and others don't. In some places, corrections officers have peace officer powers only when they are on duty at the jail or prison. Off duty, they are private citizens with no special police powers.

By-and-large THESE individuals have no police powers whatsoever.

What are opinions on the movie 'The Shawshank Redemption'?

A little "dark", but it adequately portrayed the emotional state of someone who had been falsly arrested. It was also quite accurate about the inside of a prison, the kinds of things that go on and the attitude of some guards from that era. Not all guards were that way, in fact most weren't. But there were enough corrupt guards that it is worth showing. In all, I would consider it a film to see for someone who is interested in what goes on in a prison.

The term means they are charged with enforcing the laws made by the public. The Badge is their symbol of public trust. Each State creates the laws saying who in the state are Police also know as "Peace Officers". Deputy Sheriff are Peace Officers and most State officers are Peace Officers. The Federal Government has Park Police, VA Hospital Police. But the term Peace Officer becomes gray along the Federal line. The F.B.I. are Police Officers, ICE are Police Officers, CBP are Police Officers, Border Patrol are Police Officers also are the National Park Police. If you are not sure just ask the officer. More simply put Police Officers enforce City Laws, Sheriff Deputy's Enforce County Laws and city laws. State Officers may or may not always enforce City and County Laws. Each State may have there own Enforcement arm. The National Law Enforcement arm is called the F.B.I. Any officer with authority who can arrest you, is the police or peace Officer. As for the name "police" means to cover an area. In this case enforce the Laws given by the public in that given area.
