Forum: DQ2: Ethical Issue

There are thousands of jails and prisons in the United States that employ hundreds of thousands of correctional officers.  Unfortunately, there are officers who act less than ethically.  Please do some outside research and identify a news article where an officer acted unethically.

• Share the link to the article with your classmates.
• What were the officer's actions?
• Were these actions illegal?  Explain.
• Why do you think the officer participated in this behavior?
• What were the consequences for the officer? 
• Do you agree with the consequences?  Explain.
• What are your recommendations to prevent such behavior in the future?
