I have never been through an oral for a corrections position but I would only suggest that you stay calm and think a little bit before you actually start to talk. Lots of people open their mouths because they feel that they should be able to answer right away but sometimes a question will catch you off a little or be worded slightly different from what you were expecting. I have done it both ways and thinking for those uncomfortable few seconds really helps even though it doesn't feel good.

Other than that, basic stuff. Know as much as you can about the job, the boss, the jails, what to expect for a work schedule, promotional stuff, your future plans with the department.
