Female prison officers
Hi Ezemn. I've taken a look at your draft article for Female prison officers. Wikipedia prefers, for some reason, 'prison officer' to correctional officer for titles. If the article is exclusively about prison officers in the US, then it could be Female correctional officers in the United States, as 'correctional officer' is the preferred term for US english. Before you do that, two things need to be changed: Again, let me know if you need help with this. With a few changes I think this could be a good new article.

 * The article needs a "lead" section. This is different from a traditional introduction in that you don't need to hook the reader. Rather, the "lead" is expected to identify the topic (so a reader who finds the page knows they're in the right spot) and summarize the article. Take a look at Ada Lovelace for an example of what a lead might look like. Yours can be much shorter, even as short as a paragraph.
 * You have a list of references on the draft but without inline citations I can't tell which source supports what claim. For what I mean, see User:Abbynw/sandbox (a classmate's sandbox). I can answer questions about formatting the citations or how to add them (see here for a quick guide), but I don't know which cite points to where.
