Explore the role stress and burnout play in the high turnover of officers in the correctional system

For your fourth writing assignment, you will explore the role stress and burnout play in the high turnover of officers in the correctional system (both institutional and community corrections). 1. Correctional and probation officers act as the backbone of any corrections system as these personnel are charged with extremely important responsibilities such as monitoring offender behavior, maintaining institutional order, and counseling offenders to make better decisions. Despite these meaningful duties, many individuals in the correctional system voluntarily resign from their position only shortly after being hired (sometimes within just the first 6 months). Why do correctional officers voluntarily terminate their employment from their respective corrections institutions? (What are the major contributing factors connected to the high turnover associated with corrections professionals)? 2. With these factors in mind, what suggestions could you make for improving officer turnover and helping correctional institutions and programs run smoothly? Your paper should be 3 pages in length (double spaced), should be written in Times New Roman, 12 pt. font, and should have 1 inch margins.
