Stress

There's no way to deny being a CIA is stressful. You're responsible for the safety of the inmates and all the staff working for you. Tall order? One of the tallest, for sure.

Technology and better training methods help make things safer now than in the past. Still, the guards can't just go all "WWE" on an inmate for something minor. That's why stress management is vital.

CIAs are constantly on watch for physical training, incentive programs, and psychological training to help staff manage the inmate population. Annual training is also required to stay in compliance with the law at any lock-up facility.

Stress can cause serious health issues if it goes unchecked. These days, most employers provide employees with coverage for managing stress such as counseling sessions, medications, and even gym memberships, since exercise is great for managing stress.
