Overview

Correctional officers operate in a world that most people will never fully understand-endless shifts, unpredictable dangers, and the pressure of working behind locked doors and razor wire. The impact isn't only physical. It's emotional. It's mental. It's personal. And far too often, it's invisible. In this powerful and revealing guide, active correctional officer Carey Randall exposes the truth about the hidden battles faced by those who work inside America's prisons. Drawing from firsthand experience and real stories from fellow officers, he uncovers a reality many are afraid to talk about: the toughest fights correctional officers face aren't always with inmates-they're with their own stress, trauma, and exhaustion. Inside this book, you'll learn: The real connection between corrections work and PTSD, anxiety, and depression How burnout forms-and the early warning signs every officer and family member must recognize True accounts that highlight both the trauma and incredible resilience of officers behind the walls Practical survival tools: stress-management strategies, shift-ready checklists, and daily coping techniques How families, supervisors, and leadership can better support the officers who serve What life after corrections can look like-and how to transition, heal, and rebuild your purpose Behind the Walls of Stress isn't just information-it's support. It's hope. It's a voice for officers who feel alone and a guide for the families and leaders who want to help. If you wear the badge-or love someone who does-this book was written for you.
