Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the past four decades, the rate of incarceration in the United States has skyrocketed to unprecedented heights, both historically and in comparison to that of other developed nations. At far higher rates than the general population, those in or entering U.S. jails and prisons are prone to many health problems. This is a problem not just for them, but also for the communities from which they come and to which, in nearly all cases, they will return. Health and Incarceration is the summary of a workshop jointly sponsored by the National Academy of Sciences(NAS) Committee on Law and Justice and the Institute of Medicine(IOM) Board on Health and Select Populations in December 2012. Academics, practitioners, state officials, and nongovernmental organization representatives from the fields of healthcare, prisoner advocacy, and corrections reviewed what is known about these health issues and what appear to be the best opportunities to improve healthcare for those who are now or will be incarcerated. The workshop was designed as a roundtable with brief presentations from 16 experts and time for group discussion. Health and Incarceration reviews what is known about the health of incarcerated individuals, the healthcare they receive, and effects of incarceration on public health. This report identifies opportunities to improve healthcare for these populations and provides a platform for visions of how the world of incarceration health can be a better place.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This dissertation reviews the literature to establish if correctional officers suffer from occupational stress. Stress is defined and the working environment is identified. Several stressors are identified, personality traits, length of service, fitness standards, and the effects of shift work on the individual. Duties of related occupations are compared against a correctional officer's duties. The effects management may have on the workforce and the ongms of identified stressors are reviewed. The threats of contracting an infectious disease and the influence that media has on society and how it can exacerbate stress are also expressed. Finally, the author examines the cost of stress related workers compensation, methods to reduce stress by improved management support and pre-employment criteria. The writer concludes that correctional officers are subjected to workplace extremes far greater than most other occupations and therefore, perceives that there is stress amongst correctional officers. Conclusions are drawn and recommendations are made to provide a future direction for reducing occupational stress and the associated costs. Improvement and supportive programmes are identified, including management guidelines. " -- Abstract.

Research into the physiological, psychological, and environmental factors involved in the exposure, interpretation, and management of stress can be found from general populations to specific occupations. Law enforcement occupations, specifically the police, have received adequate attention on occupation stress and coping styles. Research on stress and stress management within the correctional field has not been equitable compared to the amount of attention the police have received. Correctional officer positions are inherently stressful. This thesis examined which coping styles are being utilized by Kentucky correctional officers at two separate state adult correctional facilities and examined the difference gender has on the selection of coping styles.
