Unethical Conduct by Correctional Officers

Beyond the death penalty itself, two of the macro-level (societal) areas of ethical concern in
corrections are mass incarceration and disproportionate incarceration of minorities. Within
prisons, at the micro-level, ethical issues abound that are no doubt difficult to address, but easier
than at the macro-level.
Identify some of the areas of nonfeasance, misfeasance and malfeasance that provide examples
of unethical correctional officer conduct. How might this unethical conduct be eliminated or at
least rendered less frequent?
Explain all the basic concepts inherent in this assignment
Apply these concepts to ethical dilemmas
Use appropriate vocabulary
