The state’s nine prisons, which house 8,400 inmates, would have fewer correctional officers to monitor convicts and provide treatment, counseling and conduct programs to help prepare inmates for release, state officials said.

• Jobs before cut: 4,200

• Amount cut: $36 million

• Total positions eliminated: 777
Layoffs: 515
Open jobs cut: 262

• Budget after cuts: $321 million
