To attract the next generation of officers at King County jails, the Department of Adult and Juvenile Detention’s (DAJD) recruitment team is trying out a novel form of storytelling.

“On the Job” uses a comic book-style to show the journey of three wayward young people who tour a jail, meet COs, and overturn their assumptions about working in corrections. By the end, they are ready to apply to work as corrections officers.

Created in collaboration with LA-based Hero Projects, “On the Job” was published online in March. Hard copies are due to reach DAJD’s Human Resources Section in early April. Read more.
