In this unit, we will explore ethical issues and ethical dilemmas, focusing on real-world situations in corrections. Our discussion centers on the report “Women in Prison: Sexual Misconduct by Correctional Staff” by the United States General Accounting Office.

This thorough report highlights the experiences of women in prison and examines the practices of four organizations: the Federal Bureau of Prisons, California Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, and the District of Columbia Department of Corrections. It provides an important lens for understanding the ethical challenges correctional staff face and the impact of misconduct on incarcerated women.
