Combating Corrections Fatigue: Modern Medical Wellness for Corrections Professionals [CE/CME] Room W240 D Overview: The average life expectancy of a corrections officer is 16 years less than that of the average American citizen. We will explain the phenomenon of “Corrections Fatigue” and the associated negative health implications. We will also provide a clear-cut action plan to combat Corrections Fatigue through integrated medical and wellness solutions for the individual and for managers/supervisors to enact among their teams. The goal is to help corrections professionals live BETTER LONGER — increasing the life expectancy as well as enhancing quality of life despite stressful and dangerous conditions. “Suicide Risk Among Corrections Officers: A Logistical Regression Analysis” Archives of Suicide Research 3, no. 3 (1997), 183-86, 184.
