Valley Prison correctional officer ranks represent the primary hierarchy for the Department of Corrections (DoC) in the Roblox prison roleplay experience. Players unlock the Correctional Officer sub-team upon reaching account Level 2, starting as a Recruit and advancing up to Captain by accumulating Job Points while on active duty.
Below is the verified progression hierarchy, Job Point requirements, insignia designations, and rank-specific perks available for correctional officers.
Valley Prison Correctional Officer Ranks and Job Points
Progression through the Correctional Officer (CO) ranks is tied directly to Job Points rather than player account levels. According to community documentation and in-game data, officers accrue 1 Job Point for every minute spent actively playing on the team.
Rank insignias appear directly as 3D models placed on both shoulders of the officer avatar and cannot be detached manually. The Guard rank remains an unobtainable title within the standard player hierarchy.
| Rank | Shoulder Insignia | Required Job Points | Active Duty Time |
|---|---|---|---|
| Guard | U | N/A | Unobtainable |
| Recruit | RECRUIT | 0 | 0 minutes |
| Cadet | C | 135 | 2 hours 15 minutes |
| Probationary Officer | PRB | 270 | 4 hours 30 minutes |
| Junior Officer | JO | 405 | 6 hours 45 minutes |
| Officer | CO | 540 | 9 hours |
| Officer First Class | OFC | 675 | 11 hours 15 minutes |
| Senior Officer | SO | 810 | 13 hours 30 minutes |
| Corporal | CPL | 945 | 15 hours 45 minutes |
| Sergeant | SGT | 1080 | 18 hours |
| Lieutenant | L | 1215 | 20 hours 15 minutes |
| Captain | C | 1350 | 22 hours 30 minutes |
Understanding Job Points vs. Player Account Level
Valley Prison tracks two distinct progression systems:
- Player Account Level: Increases by gaining general account XP (15 XP awarded per minute played, alongside specific interaction bonuses such as janitorial cleaning or maintenance tasks). Hitting account Level 2 unlocks the Correctional Officer team, while higher account levels unlock other factions like Riot (Level 25), CERT (Level 45), and State Police (Level 135).
- Job Points (Role Rank): Increases exclusively while selected into the Correctional Officer team. Accumulated points determine your military-style rank and shoulder insignias. If you switch to another department (such as Medical Staff or Janitor), your time accrues towards that specific department's rank ladder instead.
Standard Equipment and Account Level Weapon Unlocks
Correctional Officers spawn in the CO Lockers with a baseline stat pool of 100 HP and 100 Stamina. When spawning into a shift, every officer receives a default utility kit alongside their sidearm:
- Secondary Weapon: Glock 17 (G17)
- Restraints and Deterrents: Handcuffs, Baton, X26 Taser, OC Pepper Spray
- Utility Items: Corrections Keycard, Gauzes, Medical Gloves
As your overarching account level increases, additional primary and secondary firearms become selectable in the armory:
| Equipment Category | Firearm / Item | Required Account Level |
|---|---|---|
| Secondary | Glock 17 | Level 0 |
| Primary | Model 590 Shotgun | Level 5 |
| Primary | MP5 Submachine Gun | Level 10 |
| Secondary | Five-Seven Pistol | Level 20 |
| Primary (Unique) | AA .50 Beowulf | Available to CO Armory |
In the V3 update, the armory also features weapon modification options (including optics, lasers, grips, and suppressors) purchasable using in-game paychecks earned across duty shifts.
Protective Vests and Uniform Perks
Cosmetic options and defensive armor scale with your progression. Heavier protective armor provides damage reduction but reduces your overall sprint and walking speed.
Armor and Duty Belts
- CO Duty Belt BM-1: Level 0
- CO Duty Belt BM-2 and BM-3: Level 2
- CO Stab-Proof Vest: Level 2
- CO Flak Vest: Level 20
- CO Plate Carrier (BM-1 through BM-3): Level 30, Level 40, and Level 50 respectively
Rank-Locked Uniforms
Reaching supervisory ranks unlocks special locker attire. In the locker menu, white officer apparel—specifically the white tucked polo and the white hoodie—is strictly reserved for players who have achieved the rank of Lieutenant or Captain.
