Long description:
This book offers a focused and detailed insight into the health and wellbeing of prison staff, specifically focussing on prison leaders and managers. The authors bring together expertise from psychology, health, law, and criminology, to
present a unique multidisciplinary examination of health and wellbeing based on interviews with Prison Governors’ Association members. Examining how the participants described their health and wellbeing at work and at home, the
authors reveal dysfunctional culture, disenchantment and disengagement, the heavy weight of expectations and high levels of professional uncertainty relating to the future. It argues that more governor grade specific and arguably mandated support is needed. Recommendations from the book will contribute to improving health and wellbeing amongst the governor work force, feeding into positive outcomes in relation to staff retention and prison expansion challenges.
