Worksheet 5  ONLY ANSWER 3 OF THE 4 QUESTIONS 1. From the article on page 351 Do the Right Thing, explain what you think Officer Fernandez should do based on the information provided in the article. After reading the article, I can understand the officer's empathy towards his friend's hardships.

What are the qualifications needed for the job? 3.What are some of the difficulties of being a corrections officer? Be specific and explain each listed. Note the section on Boundary Violations. Being a correctional officer poses significant challenges, with one of them being boundary violations. Boundary violations encompass behaviors that blur, minimize, or disrupt the social distance between prisoners, staff, and other individuals within the prison, leading to violations of departmental policy. Examples include dual relationships such as excessive flirting and inmate sexual contact. 4. Explain the inmate balance theory in terms of prison management. What are some ways prison administration gain cooperation from incarcerated individuals? The inmate balance theory in prison management underscores the importance of fostering a culture grounded in unconditional respect for residents as individuals. It asserts that inmates are entitled to safe and humane environments while serving their sentences. Consistent and fair discipline is essential, and staff must refrain from condescending or degrading inmates due to their own insecurities, lack of self-esteem, or concerns about masculinity. It's crucial for staff to exemplify the behavior they wish to see replicated by inmates. adapted from robert Worth, “a Model prison,” Atlantic, november 1995, pp. 38–44.
