Besides suspensions, dozens of arrest warrants issued for staff in judicial and prison systems over alleged Gulen links.
Turkish authorities have suspended 1,500 prison personnel and arrested dozens of others working in the judiciary over alleged links with a US-based religious leader whom Turkey accuses of orchestrating the failed July coup attempt.
Speaking at an event in the Turkish capital Ankara on Friday, Bekir Bozdag, the justice minister, said more than 1,000 prison personnel and guards were "temporarily suspended" to remove individuals linked to the Fethullah Gulen network in Turkish prisons, but could be sacked if concrete links were found.
Turkish authorities also issued dozens of arrest warrants for staff in the judicial and prison systems.
Prosecutors in the Turkish city of Istanbul have sent out warrants for 87 people working in Istanbul courts and 75 wardens and other staff working in prisons, the state-run Anadolu news agency said on Friday.
