The province says it is recruiting another 40 new correctional officers for Ottawa’s chronically understaffed jail.

The Ministry of Community Safety and Correctional Services said it is in the process of recruiting 180 new correctional officers to staff jails across the province. The latest hires are on top of a class of 144 recruits the province announced it was sending to the Ontario Correctional Services College earlier this month.

It brings the total number of new correctional officers expected to be deployed to the Ottawa-Carleton Detention Centre to 73 since 2013.

“The hiring of these new correctional officers will help ensure that staffing levels grow beyond normal turnover and retirement and ensure that officers are reflective of the diverse communities they serve,” said a ministry statement released Friday.

The new recruits are expected to complete an eight-week correctional officer training and assessment program, which includes mental health training, inmate management techniques and a thorough assessment and evaluation, according to the ministry.
