This book provides a detailed insight into the health and wellbeing of prison staff, particularly focusing on prison leaders and managers. The authors, drawing from psychology, health, law, and criminology, present a unique multidisciplinary examination based on interviews with members of the Prison Governors' Association. They explore how participants perceive their health and wellbeing both at work and at home, uncovering issues such as dysfunctional culture, disenchantment, disengagement, and the burden of expectations, alongside significant professional uncertainty about the future. The authors argue for the necessity of more targeted and potentially mandated support for governor-grade staff. Their recommendations aim to enhance health and wellbeing among the governor workforce, which could lead to improved staff retention and address challenges related to prison expansion. The book is structured into several key sections, including an exploration of the prison working environment, current understandings of health and wellbeing, the influence of workplace culture, the importance of relationships, and the unique challenges faced during the pandemic. It concludes with a discussion on transforming workplace disenchantment into re-enchantment and introduces a new conceptual model for the humanization of workplace wellbeing.
