Corrections Officer Officers Suicide

Corrections officers are often asked to work in understaffed and overcrowded facilities. Physical violence, a shared trait with the combat Veteran, is a possibility any day for these officers. Another shared trait between these two professions is PTSD. Corrections officers generally suffer from some level of PTSD during their tenure. Finally, most correctional officers will pass away before their 59th birthday. Corrections officers definitely are one of the hardest civilian professions. (Pittaro, 2015)
In closing, I believe I have presented enough statistical data to prove that combat Veterans commit suicide at a rate greater than that of a non-combat Veteran. I have established a foundation to the reasons a combat Veteran commits suicide
