Suffering from those who atone to their punishment, from those who work on behalf of an alleged regeneration, suffering that has remained for over two centuries. For those who had their conducts characterized as a crime, many studies have been developed. On the other hand, little is known about the prison servants. This research focused mainly on the identification, from the perspective of the correctional officers from two prisons in different states of Brazil, of the negative influence that their jobs have on them, on the factors that serve as protection, as well as the ones that offer them risk. It was observed that hygiene and security conditions are precarious in both prisons. From the reports, scabies, tuberculosis, hepatitis, H1N1, constant violence, politicization of the working environment, doubled working hours, lack of career planning and salaries emerge as evidence of the place where the bodies who work there are subdued, not taking the differences into account. From the above, and as of the many things that still need to be said about this category, it is reiterated the importance in developing studies about the conditions and the work organization and its implications on the mental health of those workers, who lack of public policies committed to their working realities / Por tr?s dos muros altos de um pres?dio, h? sofrimento! Sofrimento daqueles que expiam suas penas, sofrimento daqueles que trabalham em prol de uma pretensa regenera??o, que vem se mantendo por mais de dois s?culos. Para aqueles que tiveram suas condutas tipificadas como crime, muitos estudos t?m sido produzidos. Por outro lado, pouco se sabe sobre o servidor penitenci?rio. A ?nfase desta investiga??o centrou-se na identifica??o, sob a ?tica dos agentes penitenci?rios de dois pres?dios de diferentes Estados do Brasil, das influ?ncias negativas que seus trabalhos t?m sobre eles mesmos, nos fatores que lhes servem de prote??o, bem como nos fatores que lhes oferecem risco. Observou-se que as condi??es de higiene e de seguran?a s?o prec?rias nos dois pres?dios. Dos relatos, escabioses, tuberculoses, hepatites, H1N1, viol?ncias constantes, politiza??o do ambiente ocupacional, carga hor?ria duplicada, aus?ncia de planos de cargos e sal?rios surgem como reflexos dos locais onde est?o submetidos os corpos que ali trabalham, guardadas as diferen?as. Do exposto, e do muito que ainda precisa ser dito sobre essa categoria, reitera-se a import?ncia em promover estudos com respectivo espa?o de discuss?o acerca das condi??es e da organiza??o do trabalho e de suas implica??es na sa?de mental desses trabalhadores, t?o carentes de pol?ticas p?blicas compromissadas com suas realidades de trabalho
