|f The workers suffer from various types of difficulties and occupational suffering, the sources of which are varied and their effects vary depending on the requirements of each profession, whether physical, formative, material, intellectual capabilities, etc. These factors imposes routines or dynamic work according to the type of enterprise whether productive, service or security, open or closed. This may cause burdens and sufferings to the worker, such as inhaling the bad smells emanating from the bedrooms, the danger that can come from prisoners. This is represented in detention in the yard, working day and night over high walls and carrying weapons and heavy keys behind large iron doors and the boredom of the prison work. That the guard stays for long times alone, the negligent grievances of prisoners against the guards, as well as the difficulty of dealing with the criminals and the deviants. Moreover, there are many occupational diseases and the high incidence of mental illnesses such as anxiety, insomnia, sexual disorders, mental and moral fatigue from just working in prison. All this suffering may be difficult for the guard to handle and deal with. If this suffering is compounded and multiplied, it causes to him a concussion that leads to feeling of bitterness and frustration. It is difficult and more complicated if the target of this suffering is the guards of the prison, who form a parallel category of prisoners. As the two groups live side by side in an environment characterized by total closure, strict guardianship and imposing discipline. Each party is a box in a vague network in which he plays roles that it may not be aware , he even does not know, the fact that make their lives monotonous and full of routine, even after the working hours. That fact makes them vulnerable to the suffering and professional problems that come from several sources and aspects linked in its entirety to the life behind the high walls with the prisoners, and the dual educational role that requires the guard to be an educator and a reformer to the character of the prisoner, in addition to his security role. The security role is represented in guarding, surveillance, inspection and escort. However, at the same time, the use of force is permitted only in case of legitimate defense against disobedience, violence, an escape attempt or negative physical resistance to the orders. This is done within a very organized framework and the tasks are distributed among the guards strictly . They are governed by the system of ranks and tasks, as the guards took the task of dealing directly with the prisoners. Therefore, their work is surrounded by warnings and a range of prohibitions and threats that undoubtedly affect the professional performance and course. The prison guard deals with a human class and not with machines. Many scientists have estimated this category to be characterized by high intelligence, which we have seen through our dealings with many of the prisoners, which helps them to engage in an endless conflict with the guards; they compete with them even on some roles. Consequently, in front of this specific suffering, the guard spends a part of his life imprisoned with no number of imprisonment, no legal conviction, and no deprivation of liberty. There is a need to provide care for this group of workers . This is what we propose through this paper, which carries a program to sponsor the suffering of the prison guards according to a cognitive, behavioral and organizational vision that takes into account the specificity of the penal institution and the exceptional role and duplication of the tasks performed by the guard, and their contradictions in some cases. The program is applied individually and then collectively, it includes many activities, including minority measurements and then the individual interviews that focus on the self-control and self-esteem adjusting ideal perceptions , enjoying the work, being proud of the role and accepting the ideas of the others and their opinions and enjoying life .\n Furthermore, group counseling should be presented through a series of specialized lectures that deal with the suffering of the guards and discussing them in this issue. The behavioral changes are made through several activities, including sports, relaxation, and promotion. The organizational changes include the techniques of contact and communication, the provision of information and transferring it, and giving a good role model or example from the surrounding guards themselves. This is followed by activities performed by the guard outside the penal institution including the recreation and rest and spending weekends away from colleagues who symbolically represent the environment of punishment arousing suffering and finally the Feed Back. This program can be applied by the specialist in the psychology practiced in the punishment milieu requiring four months. This requires a hall for individual guidance and other one for collective guidance and a number of service structures that are usually available in the penal institutions.\nThis abstract translated by Dar AlMandumah Inc. 2018
