Question

Situation 1

You are a correctional officer supervising a tier. One of the inmates comes to you and asks a favor. Because he is a troublemaker, his mail privileges have been taken away. He wants you to mail a letter for him. You figure it’s not such a big deal; besides, you know he could make your job easier by keeping the other inmates on the tier in line.

What would you tell inmate?
How would you exhibit consistency, fairness, and flexibility?

Answer 1

1. Initially, I would refuse the inmate's request unless he discloses that the mail was for family members and relations.

2. To exhibit consistency, fairness, and flexibility, I would adhere to the ethical codes of the American Correctional Association while respecting individual dignity.

What are the ethical codes of the American Correctional Association?

The American Correctional Association requires members to comply with the following ethical codes:

• Honesty
• Respect for individual dignity
• Commitment to professional and compassionate service.

Thus, based on the above, I would ensure that the inmate understands the limit of his rights, show compassion when required, and exhibit professionalism at all times.
