What are the six types of correctional officers?

This is the last question I have to do. Please help! I can't find this anywhere in the text which makes sense because my professor does not teach out of the text.

    It probably depends on the state, and the specific answer to the question is unique to the class. But in Texas all we have is city, county, and state correctional officials. City is jailers for city holding facilities. County jailers usually work for a sheriff or contract company and work in the county jail. Some may have special assignments, but they're all jailers. The state (and contractors) then has correctional officers for adult prisons, and then the Texas Youth Commission has something similar to correctional officers but they may fall under a different name and all.

    An answer before mine makes no sense to me. It's not common sense. If it was, then how could "correctional" be one of six types of "correctional" officers?

    Actually, that's more atypical. The "typical" illegal immigrant comes here, works for low wages, and tries very hard to make a living.
