Comment: I had read these statistics about correctional officers
circulated in an email, and I was wondering what, if any, were true: Correctional Officers (CO's) have the second highest mortality rate of any occupation. 33.5% of all assaults in prisons and jails are committed by inmates against staff. A CO's 58th birthday, on average, is their last. A CO will be seriously assaulted at least twice in a 20 year career. On average a CO will live only 18 months after retirement. CO's have a 39% higher suicide rate than any other occupation and have a higher divorce and substance abuse rates then the general population. |
