Under pressure: the prison officer

This is episode 4 of a special 6-part series exploring the mental toll frontline professionals carry as they do vital work to protect all of us. Craig Wylde became a prison officer in 2006. Just four years later, at the age of 28, he was stabbed by a prisoner and left with life-changing injuries that forced his medical retirement. In this episode, Craig speaks about the attack and the long, painful process of coming to terms with a new reality. He speaks about the mental toll of the trauma and how, at his lowest point, he contemplated taking his own life.
