<p>“It seems obvious that for people in prison to experience good health and well- being, staff too must feel supported and their health promoted. This book offers focused and detailed insight, specifically focussing on prison leaders and <br>
managers. It is an excellent contribution offering new and empirically informed ways of thinking and practicing workplace wellbeing in prisons.” <br>

<p>“Prof. Karen Harrison and colleagues have produced a sustained analysis of work-related well-being issues in a seriously under-studied group, namely prison governors. This is a valuable contribution to the literature” <br>

Draws on lived experiences Contributes to the body of literature looking at prison managers and their working environment Examines the unique health and wellbeing challenges that prison managers face
<p>“Prof. Karen Harrison and colleagues have produced a sustained analysis of work-related well-being issues in a seriously under-studied group, namely prison governors. The research sheds light on their experiences, some which reflect the general conditions of the prison sector, and many reflecting their specific job role. This book will be of interest to scholars in work-related wellbeing who take an interest in job role context, scholars who study the prison sector, as well as practitioners who work in the prison sector. This is a valuable contribution to the literature.” (Andrew Clements, Lecturer in Work Psychology, Aston University, UK)<br>

“Over the past decade or more, there has been welcome research attention to the health of people in prison. This, overwhelmingly, has focused on those serving custodial sentences and far less so on prison staff and prison leaders. It seems obvious that for people in prison to experience good health and well-being, staff too must also feel supported and their health promoted. This book offers a focused and detail insight into the health and wellbeing of prison staff, specifically focussing on prison leaders and managers. It is an excellent contribution offering new and empirically informed ways of thinking and practicing workplace wellbeing in prisons.” (Professor James Woodall, School of Health, Leeds Beckett University, UK)<br>
