摘要

When you think of prison, it’s easy to picture only the people who are charged with or convicted of a crime. But workers in the justice system—including AFT members employed as corrections, probation and parole officers, as well as teachers, support staff and healthcare professionals—go to work every day knowing they are exposed to a high degree of work-related stress.What’s more, employees’ time on the inside is usually much longer than the prisoners’ sentences.
