Prison officers may suffer from pressures resulting from both work organization and social phenomena. These factors cause an unfavorable scenario for these professionals work performance, and for their own health. This article examined the relationship between precarious work conditions of prison officers of the State of Sergipe and the development of common mental disorders (TMCs), in the Penitentiary Manoel Carvalho Neto (COPEMCAN) in São Cristóvão (SE). We analyzed 25 prison officers between 35 and 60 years of age, all males, via Self Report Questionnaire (SRQ- 20) and semistructured interviews. We detected the presence of signs of CMD, which can be considered a susceptibility to illness.
