Correctional officer misconduct and corruption.

According to Pollock (2019), “Patterns of corruption also seem to occur when there is a deficit of resources, including understaffing, deferred maintenance leading to decrepit facilities, and seeming lack of care and attention from the top management” (p. 401).

Using information from:

· Correctional facilities face misconduct and corruption as many other facets in the criminal justice system. If there is, one sexual abuse of inmates, there will be other forms of misconduct like smuggling or physical abuse

· “Years ago, I exposed horrors in Mississippi Prisons. Here’s why I’m back at it”

Using this information, discuss how the lack of resources and operational decisions create a dangerous environment that contributes to correctional officer misconduct and corruption. Identify how correctional organizations can reduce unethical conduct by correctional personnel.
