What salary does a Rhode Island correctional officer make?

Answer 1

The salary range for a Rhode Island State Correctional Officer is 32-47K as of this date. The new contract, 5 1/2 years in the making, is currently in arbitration(binding) and is expected to increase correctional officers base salaries 3 - 6 pay grades. This being said, the base starting salary in the near future for correctional officers after graduation from the academy will range between 40-53k. I have been with the Dept. for 6 years, as of now my base salary is 41k, with holiday and built in daily OT I make approximately 50k a year for working 40hrs a week. Most Officers work OT due to the lack of having a contract for 5 1/2 years, with a little OT most Officers make between 60-80k per year, I made 67k, some who really like to work made well over 100k.
