Ethics in Corrections
Ethics in Corrections The Colorado Department of Corrections has very explicated rules on not having personal relationships with inmates. They can be found on the internet at Colorado Department of Corrections web site http://www.doc.state.co.us/HR/hr.htm#4. They can also be found at the Colorado Corrections Department of Personnel 4CCR801 Personnel Board Rules and Rules and Personnel Director's Administrative Procedures http://www.colorado.gov/dpa/dhr/rules/docs/rules.pdf. Chapter 6 R-6-9, States the Department of Corrections prohibits correctional officers from having sexual relation with inmates. This is even taught at the department of corrections training academy. The one thing the department of corrections did not teach the female correctional officer is some of the male inmates are (Real Studs). Some of these men have been working out with weights for years. They will build their bodies with huge mussels, and are very good looking men. These men have also learned to be very good con men. They could sweet talk most women out of anything.
There was a new correctional officer Janelle Jackson, (not her real name), Janelle is a very pretty woman. Janelle was taught the code of conduct for a correctional officer, and knew them well. These regulations can even be found on the internet, and was taught at the training academy. Janelle fell for a supper smooth talking, mussel bound inmate stud. Janelle had a sexual relationship with an inmate. This became known from an investigation started by Jimmy Jones (not his real name), Correctional Officer 11 (Sergeant), and Colorado Department of Corrections.
Jones worked in the segregation unit, and had to read all in coming mail. One letter had some wording that Jones had heard spoken by some one he know before. After thinking for many

days about who he had heard say these words, it came to light, that he had heard them from Janelle Jackson.
Janelle was sending

    The A Team Utopia County Jail has been built and is almost ready for full operation, but there are a few details that remain and then there will be a press release to report the progress of the facility. Our task force is responsible for developing a conceptual and physical model of the facility. In this paper, we will discuss issues surrounding both models of the facility. For example, the conceptual model will describe the facilities features, where the facility will be located, what the facility will look like, levels of security in the facility, such as, low, minimum, medium and maximum security, how the design of the facility supports the prison’s functions and goals and the advantages and disadvantages of the prison’s design. The physical model of the facility will describe the physical design and how it is represented by a two-dimensional computer generated drawing or image.…

    Based on the information gathered from different materials, proceeding with jails, prisons, probation, parole, juvenile, and community corrections may range from many perspectives. Jails and prisons are different from a few perspectives, but it may also vary on the length of time to serve for punishment. Parole and probation are reservation options to help educate criminals about ethical knowledge. Community corrections are also provided to help keep the environment safe from harm. After evaluating the past, present, and future trends of community-based corrections, the program has helped develop other alternatives for offenders. This will help the criminals from receiving the incarceration sentence and offer treatment programs for better results. Correctional facilities, involving the law enforcement agencies may require fiscal responsibilities within the facility. The security environment is different from other facilities as the systems maintain a high security set up.…

    “The Verdict” is a movie that deals with medical and legal ethics. Frank Gavin is an alcoholic who hasn’t won any of his cases in the past three years. Mickey, his former partner, gives him a medical malpractice case that is sure to settle for a large amount of money. The case of Deborah Ann Kay, a mother who was given anesthetic when she had just eaten inhaled her vomit and is now in a coma. The Donaheys, her sister and brother in law are hoping for a good settlement and Frank assures them that they have a strong case. While the case is going on he meets Laura, a woman at a bar who he falls in love with. Frank goes to visit Deborah Ann Kay in the hospital and is affected by her condition. He meets with the defendants who run the Catholic hospital where the incident happened. The defendants offer $210,000 to settle out of court but Frank declines. Frank feels this is his chance to do something right. Everyone was not happy with Frank declining the settlement. A lot of things start to go wrong for Frank in the case: the brother in law finds out how much the settlement was and how he denied it, his expert medical witness disappears, his substitute witness testimony is questioned, the defendant attorney Concannon has an expert legal team, and the Judge favors Concannon. Mickey finds out Laura is a spy for the opposing side and Frank punches her in the face. Frank then finds Kaitlin Costello Pryce, a nurse that was asked to change her notes on the admittance form after the incident to hide Dr. Towler’s error. Deborah Ann Kay had eaten 1 hour before admittance and no anesthetic is supposed to be given if so. Even though the testimony is not supposed to be used because of legal technicalities it stuns the courtroom. Frank then tells the jury a closing statement about justice and truth. Frank wins the case and the jury wants to increase the award.…

    This includes (i) no communication, (ii) operational communication, (iii) human-respectful communication and (iv) cognitive, reflective communication. No communication means officers and the offenders are apart, and no interaction must happen. Operational communication means isolation between officers and offenders, however, there is a certain level of communication in order to finish a needed job. Human-Respectful Communication means continuous talking with an inmate and establishing social communication is one of the objectives. Cognitive, reflective communication means talking to a person intimately in order to encourage the inmate to think of changing their behavior, thought process and acceptance of the consequences of their…

    Corrections and Treatment

    • 460 Words

    Most juvenile institutions have some form of treatment program available to juveniles. The most common programs include: counseling, vocational and educational training, recreational programs and religious counseling. Two community based programs are guided group interaction (GGI) and positive peer culture (PPC). Guided group interaction is a program where a delinquent can acknowledge and solve personal problems with support from other members in the group. Individual members can be supportive and reinforce acceptable behavior to one another in this program. Positive peer culture is a counseling program where peer leaders encourage other group members to modify their behavior and peers help reinforce acceptable behaviors. If negative peer influence can encourage youths to engage in delinquent behavior, then positive peer influence can help them conform back to a positive life. Overcrowding and lack of security are issues affecting institutionalized juveniles. Overcrowding is not only a problem in juvenile institutions but also in prisons. Despite opening numerous juvenile institutions and prisons, crowding is still an issue in more than half the states. Lack of security is also an issue in juvenile institutions. If there are not security guards to watch the juveniles, they can get into more trouble while they're institutionalized. There also needs to be security watching who comes in and out of the building, and what they are bringing in. If there are people coming in to visit and they bring in drugs to a juvenile who is in there for a drug problem, then that defeats the purpose of the juvenile being institutionalized to become a better person and serve their sentence. The Intensive Aftercare Program (IAP) offers intervention for serious juvenile offenders returning to the community following placement. IAP is a crucial part of a juvenile being released from an institution. They need to be able to function properly in reality and they need guidance to start that…
