A federal correctional officer wouldn't work for the Illinois Dept. of Corrections. Federal correctional officers work for the U.S. government, and whether they can carry a firearm while off duty would depend on the rules established by their specific employer.

The Federal Department of Corrections runs Federal prisons. The Federal Department of Corrections is a subdivision of the Judicial System in the United States.
There is no such thing as a 'type' of guard. Furthermore, the term is 'correctional officer.' Guard is an old term. Correctional Officers take care of the safety and security of a facility, and assist inmates in functioning within the institution.
There are five separate categories of Federal prisons, excluding military prisons or facilities run by Immigration. There are 20 US Penitentiaries, 71 Federal Correctional Institutions, 6 Federal Prison Camps, 19 Federal Administrative Facilities, and 14 Federal Correctional Complexes.
Depends on which one you are referring to....State or Federal. State corrections pay depends on which state as some vary from the other and if you have had any prior experience. I know first hand that Virginia DOC pays $27,500 to start. Federal usually starts around $33,500.
Your question beats around the bush. If you are forbidden access to firearms on a federal level, it must mean that you have been convicted of a felony offense. The question then becomes will the Corrections System hire you with that kind of criminal record? The best (and only) thing to do is to call the personnel office of the correctional system and ask.
