Social Work as a career field includes a lot of different jobs at different levels. There are some entry level jobs in social work that only require a bachelor's degree (CJ or Sociology would be appropriate) but the professional level jobs of Social Work Caseworker will generally require a Master of Social Work (not MA Sociology) or a graduate degree in counseling.
Entry level social services jobs include income maintenance caseworker, intake caseworker, etc... usually in gov't agencies such as Department of Social Services or in NGOs such as Disability and Special Needs Boards.

I KNOW a social worker with a B.S. in criminal justice. But she also has an MSW degree. I would check with your state's prisons, and see if they hire B.S.'s or not, as social workers. I bet they do. You may need to take 6-9 credits to get certified.
