Sickness absence has cost the Northern Ireland Prison Service (NIPS) more than £3 million annually for the last three years, a report said.
A significant number of prison staff suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder, a review ordered by the justice minister said, yet some support services were relatively under-used.
Some older staff held concerns about speaking out about mental health.
During the year to March 2020, 988 absences were recorded.
