Do United States prisons have detectives?

Do prisons have their own detective squad?

Lets says to investigate murders or other major crimes.

Do the regular correctional officers deal with it or would they have detectives from the local police department come in to investigate? 5 points for the best response. Thanks.

    They have internal investigation units but normally whatever state investigative agency (state police, bureau of investigation, rangers (Texas) would investigate suspicious deaths.

    Despite movies murders, and rapes for that matter are rare for those in prison or jail.
