Manipulation Scenario

Patricia Wilkes works as a correctional officer at Corcoran California state prison. Corcoran is a high security institution that houses some of the most violent male offenders. Patricia has worked at the institution for four years and has encountered two attacks against her from two separate inmates over a year span. Patricia is freshly returned back to work after being off for a week due to her injuries from her latest attack. The attack involved her being pushed down by an inmate, causing a sprain arm. Feeling vulnerable Patricia became friends with an inmate who witnessed the attack and promised to issue protection if she sneaks in contraband for him. She is conflicted but, because she is afraid; she agrees to do it.
