Description
Reilly and co-authors review injuries suffered by custody officers who guard prisoners. The job exposes staff to hazards during cell checks, recreation oversight, and contraband searches. Yet injury research on this group is thin. The team searched five databases under a registered review plan. From 975 papers, eight studies survived the quality checks. Their average appraisal score was about 69%.
Fatal injury rates in the studies ran from 0.027 upward per the reported units. Sprains, assault injuries, and stress harms recur across the data. The review builds the first broad profile of harm in this workforce. It points prisons toward the risks most worth preventing.
