Discuss the environmental, situational, biological, and work/home factors that make working in corrections an especially stressful job.

What will be an ideal response?


Answers will vary but should mention the environmental factors that refer to the condition of the prison and ways that the prison or jail itself may lead to stress for corrections officers; the situational factors that refer to various parts of the correctional officers’ daily routines that may contribute to stress; the biological factors that refer to the physical and biological demands placed on correctional officers can make the job stressful; and the work/home factors that refer to conflicts that officers experience serving as a correctional officer and then fulfilling their role.
