Difficult to work with prisoners

It is often difficult to work with prisoners because the entire prison system can be unsympathetic towards the emotional needs of the inmates. Working in prisons can also be stressful, leading to emotional problems for wardens, guards and others. You can play a useful role in improving the quality of life within prisons, and this will ultimately benefit the mental health of all those who live or work there. Activities that enable frank discussion of issues between prisoners and the prison staff can help remove suspicions. Regular group meetings and the involvement of nongovernmental organisations that are concerned about mental health issues or the rights of prisoners can be beneficial. Efforts to help both prisoners and staff deal with stress through
meditation or relaxation training can also help in sharing skills and raising morale.
