Abstract
<jats:p>This study used heart rate variability to examine the physical and emotional health of employees in prisons and schools. High-stress jobs in prisons may lead to health problems in employees, as shown by heart rate variability studies. Educational professionals are at risk of developing stress-related problems and unhealthy coping mechanisms. The greatest contribution to the disturbance of heart rate regulation revealed based on LF and VLF indices, which show a disturbance of the physical and emotional state. To reduce stress, everyone needs a regulated work schedule, rest, and access to medical and psychological support. Based on the information obtained, a correctional model developed aimed at preventing emotional burnout, maladaptation, and desynchronosis among employees of penitentiary institutions and educational organizations.</jats:p>
