Problem
There are thousands of jails and prisons in the United States that employ hundreds of thousands of correctional officers. Unfortunately, there are correctional officers who act less than ethically. Please do some outside research and identify a news article where a correctional officer acted unethically. Please discuss a case that is no longer under investigation that already has an outcome.
1) Share the link to the article with your classmates.
2) What were the officer's actions? Were these actions illegal? Explain.
3) Why do you think the officer participated in this behavior?
4) What were the consequences for the officer?
5) Do you agree with the consequences? Explain.
6) What are your recommendations to prevent such behavior in the future?
