Entrance Requirements: Character must have a Corrections Officer Skill Program.
Skill Cost: 5 Years (Primary), 3 Years (Secondary)

This style was created so that corrections officers could defend themselves against the growing number of criminals that they have to deal with on a daily basis. It was also created to deal with the growing number of inmates who are learning martial arts such as "Jailhouse Rock". A student of this style will enter to combat distance as quickly as possible. Then they will start with several strikes to "soften up" the opponent. After the opponent is subdued, they will be held or locked and then thrown to the ground and handcuffed. If there are a large number of opponents, such as in a riot, weapons will be used to subdue the opponents. Practitioners of this style will avoid going to the ground in any confrontation they might have. This system is only taught to current and accredited corrections officers. It is not available to the general public. There are a number of certified instructors across the United States.
