Corrections officer and police officer are different things. Depending on where you are a corrections officer may not require the strictest background checks or training, and in fact is sometimes little but a glorified babysitter/janitor. Some aren't even considered "law enforcement" if they were hired through a private company, for example. It's complicated.

CO's don't go out and arrest people, basically, they watch the prisoners inside the facility and keep the place maintained. It's an easy thing to mix up. People tend to hear "officer" and think "cop" by default but they're not the same thing at all.
