You're dealing with fantasy imaginary characters, and I think your mental processes need correcting. Religious people have being seeing and believing signs since humanity began, it's called mental illness. Consider this.
Religious people pray to fence poles and cheese sandwiches.
People say they talk to aliens, people say they talk to God. The first lot are called nutters, the second lot are called religious. There's a lot of money to be made out of religion and it has become a well rehearsed play over time. Religious people also pray (talk) to fence poles and cheese sandwiches.
Christians are below average intelligence and tend to be very gullible, that's why when a fence pole or a cheese sandwich has an imprint that looks like a religious face, such as God or Our Lady, millions will flock to the spot and worship. It's also known as sheep to the slaughter syndrome.
All religions are just fantasy or mythology or cults, call it whatever you wish. The main religions also have magic tricks which are called miracles in Christianity.
Just watch what happens when a magic trick occurs, for example, the fence pole or cheese sandwich image starts to weep. Just watch how the flock of followers behave. People find it hard to accept reality so escape into fantasy and that’s what religion satisfies. Miracles are all in the mind and are nothing more than trickery.
Mind you, going to jail is a good way to become a religious believer.
Quite a few violent criminals on death-row seem to suddenly find God (surprise, surprise) so going to jail seems to be a good way to become a religious believer. No wonder so many religious people are violent.

actually since Joseph did some of his 'best work' in prison I would not limit God by the darkness around. Jesus is the light that shines in the darkness
but signs and wonders? sign and wonders point to truth. It might be more helpful getting prisoners into the word reading it.
I would recommend some good movies like Matthew, Acts and John from the Visual Bible to get them interested

Mother Antonia is one such person .. who lives and works in a mexican prison .. they call her the prison angel
and she spends days and nights with the inmates
and im sure her faith is as strong now as ever
and although not a correction officer , she is proof that what we see each day doesnt have to hinder our beliefs
she is a beautiful person

Signs and wonders are performed by God, not correctional officers. Correctional officers are the same as the rest of us, they are to believe in Jesus Christ, live righteous lives, and tell others about the truth.

put on the whole armor of God. Fellowship w/ other Christians (hopefully you'll find a prison ministry or something). Let you light shine before all men. Pray continuously.

No. He/She could not, as there are no signs and wonders to perform, as there is no god to back them up. This goes the same for all humans.
