“Mental Health and Public Safety” You are a new correctional officer at a local county detention center. You have been on the job for just over one year. Recently, you have been assigned to the crisis invention unit, which houses the mentally ill inmates. The job is stressful and dealing with the mentally ill is not an easy task. Since many mentally ill individuals do not seek assistance or take proper medications, many end-up in jails across America.  Last week, inmate Richard Jones began striking his head against the cell and throwing human waste at correctional officers. Since arriving at the detention center six months ago Jones has been written-up for throwing urine at officers eight different times. Jones is also positive for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). Richard Jones is almost always combative towards staff and other inmates. Yesterday, Richard Jones began spitting blood at officers and refused to “cuff-up.” As a result, an extraction team was called to remove Jones from his cell. During the removal another correctional officer tore his anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) in his right knee. Jones then bit another officer on the left arm. Both officers are currently on administrative leave due their injuries.  Your supervisor had enough of Richard Jones and decided to tell you not to give Jones his medication since it has little effect. Jones then began shouting, “Give me my meds! Give me my meds! Give me my meds!” You realize your supervisor just wants to punish Jones for his previous behavior. Richard Jones then begins to bang his head against the cell door. Usually, you would notify the extraction team, but your supervisor states, “Rookie, let him hit his head, maybe it will knock some sense into him.” Ten minutes later Richard Jones falls to the ground and passes out. Your supervisor then calls for a paramedic to tend to Richard Jones. Fire/Rescue respond to the scene and treats Jones for his injury. Richard Jones then begins to attempt to bite Fire/Rescue workers, but you are able to grab Jones’ neck before he can assault anyone.  How do you ethically handle the situation? Does this situation warrant correctional misconduct? Why or why not? Does the situation change since your supervisor is giving you a direct order? How do you balance emotions with the law? Which ethical system would you utilize to support your response to this situation? Why? Please remember to be as detailed as possible and answer the scenario-based question in 3-4 paragraphs (4-6 sentences per paragraph).

“New Warden” You are a warden of a maximum-security prison within the Commonwealth of Virginia. You recently took over the prison and made numerous reforms. However, you continue to have a major problem with inmates smuggling cell phones into the prison. You decided to purchase a metal detector in order to screen all incoming and outgoing mail from the facility. However, you continue to receive reports of inmates using cell phones from prison. You then decide to institute a new policy banning correctional officers from carrying cell phones within the prison in order to avoid inmates stealing cell phones from the officers. The correctional staff was not pleased with the new policy, but you agreed to a 3 percent raise for all correctional officers over the next two years in order to ease tension between administrators and staff. In addition, you will place additional landlines in the prison for correctional staff to utilize during their shift.   During a recent shakedown the entry team discovered another cell phone in an inmate’s cell. This is against prison rules and is a major security threat. You decide to start a massive shakedown within the entire prison. Correctional officers find five additonal cell phones in the “D Block” section of the prison, which houses general population inmates. Furthermore, in the “A Block” section of the prison, which houses inmates deemed a security threat, the entry team found four cell phones in inmate Jackson Garcia’s cell. It is obvious the inmate is running the cell phone hustle within the prison. The inmate identified as Jackson Garcia refuses to talk to investigators and sticks to the inmate code of silence. Garcia is a powerful drug kingpin and a popular known gang member. Garcia is serving 10-15 years for drug trafficking and armed robbery. The investigation did reveal Jackson Garcia did not receive any visitation rights since he was deemed a security threat in 2024. All other inmates interviewed refused to cooperate with investigators for fear of being labeled a prison “snitch” or “rat” by others. However, prison investigators did discover a receipt in Garcia’s cell. On the receipt was the day and time of six cell phone purchases. The various cell phone brands found in the prison matched the receipt. You reach a conclusion the only way inmate Jackson Garcia could have possession of the phones was through another correctional officer smuggling the cell phones into the facility. You know Jackson Garcia is powerful enough to threatened or bribe correctional officers. As warden, you must put an end to the cell phone hustle within the prison complex. Based on the date of the receipt you discover only six correctional officers were absent out of 94 officers assigned to the prison on the day. Since you called in the major shakedown almost all the officers were forced to work overtime on the day of and the day before the discovery. The investigation team virtually narrowed the scope of the investigation to six “missing” correctional officers based on the time stamp of the receipt. This is a major break in the case and you decide to have the investigation team interview the six officers. You attempt to obtain the store’s video footage, but the local convenience store’s cameras were not operational on the day of the purchase. The six correctional officers absent were:  18-year veteran Lieutenant who is in charge of the A Block of the prison. The Lieutenant was absent the entire week before the discovery due to his wife’s cancer operation. 14-year veteran Corporeal who is assigned to the A Block and was absent due to a prior training assignment in another jurisdiction. The other jurisdiction verifies the Corporeal’s attendance in the training assignment.   10-year veteran Officer who is assigned to the D Block of the prison and called in sick the day before the shakedown and the day of the shakedown. The officer also has a history of internal violations including sexual harassment, excessive force, and failure to document a rule violation. 3-year veteran Officer who was on schedule vacation the entire week of the shakedown. The individual was schedule to travel overseas to visit family and could not reschedule the vacation. The officer is currently scheduled to return to duty tomorrow.   1-year rookie Officer who is currently assigned to the A Block of the prison and called in sick days prior to the shakedown and on the day of the shakedown citing headaches. The officer does not have any history of violations, but is new to the prison and struggle in the academy.   6-year veteran Officer assigned to the B Block who was absent for the previous two weeks and the week of the incident due to a minor right knee operation after a pick-up basketball game. How do you ethically handle this situation? How do you approach the six correctional officers without falsely accusing them of the violation or misconduct? How would you conduct the interview with the six correctional officers? Without proper evidence who would you suspect of committing the infraction? Why? What ethical system would guide your investigation? Please be as detailed as possible and answer the scenario-based question in 3-4 paragraphs (4-6 sentences per paragraph).
