Most people would be surprised to learn that prison wardens in Namibia are some of the highest-paid public servants in the country. In fact, they earn an average of $48,000 per year – more than twice the national average! There are a few reasons for this: first, because the job is extremely demanding and second because there is a severe shortage of qualified candidates.

Warden is a high-stress, high-demand job

Working as a prison warden can be a very demanding and stressful job. But it can also be very rewarding. Prison wardens earn a good salary, and they can often retire with a comfortable pension. In addition, prison wardens get to work in an exciting and challenging environment. They handle the safety of prisoners and staff, and they must maintain order in the prison. Wardens earn a monthly salary between N20,000 – N75,000 depending on experience and qualifications.  

There is a severe shortage of qualified candidates

There is a severe shortage of qualified candidates for prison wardens in Namibia. The pay is low and the working conditions are difficult. Wardens are needed to supervise and control prisoners, as well as to maintain safety and security in the prisons.

According to a recent study, prison wardens in Namibia earn an average of $48,000 per year – more than twice the national average. This salary is due to the high demand for qualified wardens and the shortage of suitably trained personnel. As a result, many prisons are understaffed and overworked, which can lead to dangerous conditions for both inmates and staff.
