Corrections Corrupt

Corrections Corrupt: A True Reflection of Nearly 20 Years as a Corrections Officer By: Craig P. Wallin For nearly twenty years, Craig P. Wallin has worked in an adult male correctional institution. Corrections Corrupt goes inside and provides a true and accurate depiction of the reality for corrections officers and inmates. Wallin’s stories, while ranging from tragic to frightening to small moments of humor, are meant to inform the public on the truth behind bars and in the boardrooms as well as provide education for others seeking to enter this line of work as to what mental and physical struggles they will face with each day.

Corruption in the Division of Corrections captures the life of a female correctional officer II who was victimized inside the corrupt system of DPSCS from 2015 to 2019. It tells of the magnitude of inhumane treatment she endured: the false medical report that was made against her by the state medical directors; intentionally denying of job opportunities; interference with her accumulative leave hours, paychecks, pay increase; illegal termination from the state service. She talks of the frame-up she experienced and witnessing some of the treatment made to other correctional officers. The book tells of the corrupt system of DPSCS that everybody knows but nobody talks about, the impact the corrupt system has created inside the correctional facilities alongside the sexual exploitation and trading sex for positions and protections. She also talks about the medical condition she suffered as a result of a long-term internalized trauma, of depressed mood and adjustment disorder caused by work-related stress. Lastly, she tells of her right to receive therapeutic treatment requested by the psychologist, but again, the DPSCS intentionally deprived her of it. Instead, they illegally terminated her and left her with nothing to fall back on while she is recovering.

Corruption in the Division of Corrections Volume II captured the ongoing events in the life of a female ex-Correctional Officer II who was victimized inside the corrupt system of the Department of Public Safety and Correctional Services from 2015 to 2020. It exposed the obstacles she encountered on her road to seeking justice as a result of the wrongful termination of her appointment, denial of medical treatment, unpaid wages, and illegal medical documentations. The book further exposed the rot in other critical institutions- the Federal EEOC and the Civil Rights Commission, which she approached in search of justice as her case was shockingly compromised in both agencies. She has shown a lot of resilience in her consistency and determination to seek for justice inspite of the series of disappointments from the DPSCS, the Federal EEOC, and the Civil Rights Commission. The questions she asks are as follows: Is the system so corrupt that it cannot give her justice in the America of today? Is justice for her close by, still far in the future, or even never going to come?

Corruption is a problem in prisons about which we hear very little, except when there is an escape from custody or other scandal that makes the media. The closed nature of correctional institutions has made the activities that go on within them less visible to the outside world. While some persons might be inclined to dismiss correctional corruption as an issue, this view ignores the scale of criminality and misconduct that can go on in prison and the impact it can have upon not just the good order of the prison or the rights of prisoners but on the prospects for successful reintegration of ex-prisoners into society. This book is the first to examine the phenomenon in any detail or to suggest what might be done to reduce its incidence and the harms that can arise from it. Andrew Goldsmith, Mark Halsey and Andrew Groves argue that it is not enough to tackle corruption alone. Rather there should be a broader attempt to promote what the authors call ‘correctional integrity’.

Through this handbook, UNODC seeks to formally acknowledge and articulate a problem endured by all jurisdictions and to underline the international commitment to addressing it. The aim of this handbook is not simply to address corruption once it occurs but also to help Member States prevent corruption and protect prisoners, staff and communities from its insidious consequences. This is without prejudice to the fact that the management of prisons is one of the most difficult and demanding tasks that societies require, and many prison leaders and staff work with great professionalism and commitment to provide safe, decent and just conditions in prisons.
