This article aims to estimate the prevalence and violence-associated factors in the work environment of female correctional officers in Brazil. A cross-sectional, analytical study was conducted in 15 female correctional facilities in Brazil's five regions. Pearson's chi-square test was performed. The Odds Ratio and Confidence Intervals were estimated for factors that showed a significant association or were confounding factors. The prevalence of having experienced at least one violent occurrence during professional duty as an officer was 28.4%. An interesting factor is fact that agents themselves are identified as the main suspects of robbery (74.6%), moral violence (68.1%) and sexual harassment (66.8%) against their co-workers. Working in more than one correctional facility increased the chance of suffering from violence (OR = 3.23; CI = 1.51 - 6.9). The main associated factors are: working in temporary detention centers, age of admission to the prison system and low social support among co-workers. Violence in the Brazilian prison environment is of great magnitude and considered a complex phenomenon with multiple causes. To combat this, it is necessary to adopt intersectoral actions, capable of intervening both in the prison environment and in society.
本文旨在评估巴西女性惩教人员工作环境中的暴力发生率及其相关因素。在巴西五个地区的15所女性惩教机构开展了一项横断面分析研究。采用了Pearson卡方检验。对显示出显著关联或为混杂因素的因素估计了比值比和置信区间。作为惩教人员在履行职业职责期间至少经历过一次暴力事件的发生率为28.4%。一个有趣的因素是，工作人员自身被认定为针对同事的抢劫（74.6%）、道德暴力（68.1%）和性骚扰（66.8%）的主要嫌疑人。在多个惩教机构工作会增加遭受暴力的几率（比值比=3.23；置信区间=1.51 - 6.9）。主要相关因素包括：在临时拘留中心工作、进入监狱系统时的年龄以及同事间社会支持度低。巴西监狱环境中的暴力现象严重，被视为一个具有多种成因的复杂现象。为应对这一问题，有必要采取跨部门行动，既能干预监狱环境，也能干预社会。
