Ethical Issues In Corrections, Sharlette A. Kellum-Gilbert Ph.D. Aug 2016

Ethical Issues In Corrections, Sharlette A. Kellum-Gilbert Ph.D.

Dr. Sharlette A. Kellum-Gilbert

Prison is not a vacation. Those that are confined are not supposed to feel like they’re in the “Happiest place on earth.” Administrators are not inclined to accommodate the extended-stay visitors (inmates) at break-neck speed. Generally, prison means punishment. Those tasked with guarding the inhabitants of penal institutions must walk a fine line, because they have mandated rules and regulations they must follow. Though, correctional officers (COs) are often viewed as underpaid adult “sitters,” on the front line, they take on the task of protecting the public day-in and day-out. Ultimately, most (if not all) of the people in prison …

After Roberts had a suicidal episode, CMS's statewide mental health care director reportedly put Roberts in an isolation cell rather than a psychiatric care unit. The mental health care director also ordered that Roberts' medication be discontinued pursuant to an alleged policy of CMS to get as many prisoners off psycho- …

Legal Aspects Of Prison Riots, Ira P. Robbins Dec 1981

Legal Aspects Of Prison Riots, Ira P. Robbins

Ira P. Robbins

Introduction: Riots are a recurrent phenomenon in American prisons. In the 1950s and the early 1970s, major riots erupted in prisons across the country, and many have occurred in the past several years.' Riots will continue to occur as long as the dominant function of prisons is the custodial confinement of inmates. As one commentator explains, "The way to make a strong bomb is to build a strong perimeter and generate pressure inside. Similarly, riots occur where ... pressures and demands are generated in the presence of strong custodial confinement."

When such a bomb detonates and a prison riot erupts, …
