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.

Added: Bureau of Prisons Corrections Officers are also covered under the Law Enforcement Officers Safety Act and therefore allowed to carry firearms off duty.

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.
