The staff members are your prison's employees, such as Guards and Workmen, who are needed to run your prison. Some of the staff members cannot be hired until you unlock them through Bureaucracy.
There are three broad categories of employee: Staff, Administration and External Staff. Normal Staff members perform automated duties throughout the prison to ensure essential functions continue to operate. They may be directly selected and controlled, but will generally operate on their own. Administration on the other hand, are not able to be directly controlled and do not perform tasks throughout the prison. Instead, Administration members perform Bureaucracy research tasks to unlock additional prison features. They need their own office and for some of them it's not possible to have more than one. External staff cannot be hired and do not get any wages. Instead, they appear when needed and leave the prison if their job is done.
Since update 11, regular staff (excluding Administration, Doctors and External Staff) can have needs that must be maintained for them to do their job effectively, these can be viewed like prisoners (Via mousing over them or in the needs tab).
Staff may be hired as they become available in the Staff menu at the bottom of the screen, and may be fired by opening the Staff Report and clicking on an employee to remove them.
