Big Pay Hikes For ODOC

The Oklahoma Department of Corrections had 350 job vacancies in June of last year, and currently, that number has jumped to more than 900. To alleviate the shortage of employees, the ODOC has enacted significant pay raises. Correctional Officers will get a 30% pay hike, a pardon, a parole officer 20 percent, and licensed medical staff will receive a 16 percent pay increase and others four percent.
