  • How Are Correctional Officers Treated In Prison?

    1746 Words  | 4 Pages

    The way correction officers are treated in prison is dreadful. “A corrections officer was seriously burned Monday morning in an attack by an inmate at the Green Bay Correctional Institution” (Roberts, 2016). This topic interest me because most of my life my brother has described the working conditions of correction officers in prison. I remember him telling me how one officer had his finger bitten off by an inmate. Correction officers are the guards who work in prison to enforce prisoners, so that inmates do not find themselves constantly in trouble. In addition, the officers ensure inmates’ safety. Despite the fact that the officers want to secure the inmate 's safety, people are unaware of the hardships officers face every day. A great deal of the rigorous challenges guards go through are never mentioned on the news or make it to newspapers. Correction officers are rarely mentioned within society, even though they are a huge part of the law enforcement. There is a

    Overall, Silvio was not the right choice for general manager of Schindler’s India operations for three crucial reasons: 1) he had other priorities in his personal life that limited his capacity to focus on the India operations, 2) Silvio lacked the proper background and relevant experience for this position, and 3) his leadership style, caused by a number of significant cultural differences which overall resulted in a number of managerial and corporate culture issues. However, it is important to note that although Silvio was not the best choice, the Schindler Company was also at fault for not providing Silvio the support he needed during his stay there and in preparing him for the cultural barriers he would be facing.

    Armando’s case is a very difficult one to try and find a solution too because there are not many. My first thought when Armando’s story started is there is no way this guy is going to live. Which is exactly what the staff at Hermann thought. They were preparing for a good donor when Armando arrived. “He’s not going to make it… except for the gunshot, he’s basically healthy. He’ll make a good donor” (pg. 53). As I said before when Armando pulled through the staff didn’t really know what to do with him. They knew at that point that he had no insurance and would not be able to pay his bills. They were banking on him wanting to die. When Armando answered yes to the question do you want to live like this, it shocked everyone. At the point of Armando
