Since they are not peace officers, they are not protected under HR 218, to carry off duty.
They are considered conservators of peace. This means they may carry from a maximum of an hour before, and up to an hour after their duty at their facility.
They must check in or lock up their sidearm before starting duty.

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.

No we are not covered by either law therefore we are not allowed to carry off duty except 1 hour before and after shift. However firearms are not allowed on state property- we never carry a weapon off duty.
What kind of job exactly? It could not be as a Corrections Officer. Most positions in the department of corrections are positions of 'public trust.' As a general rule government agencies do not hire persons with a felony arrest record.
