prison officers working extra to get the schedules to hang together, saith the their alliance.

days off that are involved, and the guards, which is to be extended.

It is widespread that the country’s prison officers work more than the hours in their employment contract attribute.

From march 2019 to February 2020 was paid nearly 117 million dollars for overtime for prisons uniformed personnel.

It holds, especially the elderly applicants, for example, have established a family, from searching into the training, the fear of the rapporteur.

And so we need to create more content and meaning in the work, as fængselsbetjentene doing. Otherwise, they stop.

The more prison guards, there is, the better the work environment, she says.
