Instructions
Choose from one of the following topics and prepare a paper on that topic. You will need to utilize additional academic resources beyond that of your text.
Scenario 1: You recently have been promoted to the position of lead of training development at a state prison in your home state. The superintendent asks you to prepare a written proposal for training for new staff members on the issue of maintaining proper relationships with inmates. In the proposal, the superintendent asks you to be sure to discuss not only the “how” but the “why” of ensuring staff relate to the inmates properly. Prepare the proposal you would deliver to the superintendent. Be sure to include the ethics surrounding your discussion.
Scenario 2: You are assigned as an undercover drug investigator in your department. As part of that assignment, you will have to frequent establishments that you, as a Christian, know do not align with your worldview. Additionally, you will be required to lie to potential drug suspects about who you are. What sort of ethical challenges do you face in terms of going to establishments like bars and strip clubs? What sort of ethical dilemmas might you face when dealing with suspects?
Scenario 3: You are a supervisor at a for-profit prison. A recent fight between two inmates is being investigated. The contract with the state mandates a minimum level of inmate/corrections officer ratio that was not in place at the time, which may have helped create an environment in which the inmates felt emboldened. At the most recent staff meeting, the superintendent suggested that the issue of staffing not be addressed in your report on the incident. Staffing was reduced in order to cut costs despite the requirements in the contract. What ethical issues does the use of for profit prisons bring with them that state run prisons do not? What sort of ethical issues are you confronted with as a result of the staff cuts? Can you properly investigate the incident and not address the staff cuts?
