The prison  that you have been assigned to has been plagued with numerous physical  altercations and has had three small riots, two on separate cellblocks, and another in  the chow hall. Furthermore, gang-related violence has occurred in this prison and, as  is usually the case in prisons, these gang loyalties fall along racial lines.  Further still, your prison staff has had numerous problems based on racial identity.  During turnout prior to shift-change, you can see that the staff arranges themselves  according to racial groups. Also, when the prison tried to arrange diversity training  last month, an all-time high was reached in employee absenteeism and there were  more employee arguments and disagreements. The training seemed to polarize the  staff even further.  It has become a source of concern for you because you now have reason to believe  that some staff may essentially be turning a “blind eye” to inmate activities if the staff  member and the inmate are of the same race/ethnicity. This naturally compromises  the security of the institution and places everyone's safety in jeopardy.  Upon attempting to improve employee racial relations in your prison institution, you  note that there appears to be two rough “group views” within your prison staff. There  is one group who is “hard-lined” and conservative. This group takes a punitive  approach toward the inmate population. The other group is more “soft” and liberal in  approach and takes a less restrictive approach to human relations with the inmate  population. These groups seem to be at great odds with one another, and the irony  is that there  are members of each racial/ethnic background and of both genders who subscribe to  BOTH views.    Reflect on the above scenario and answer the following questions using a  350-word minimum for each answer.      1. Discuss attitudes among employees in an organization. Specifically, explain how  poor attitudes among correctional staff in a state prison might affect other aspects  of that prison.    CJ503 Organizational Behavior     2. Discuss the importance of employee satisfaction within this prison. What are  some likely indicators that can alert prison management of poor employee  satisfaction within that prison?    3. What type of plan would you implement to address the problems within the  prison? When deciding how to address these problems within the prison,  which of the three ethical decision criteria would be the best fit and why?    4. What innovative solutions could be used to address the problems within the  prison?    5. Within a prison, performance and social arrangement norms are likely to be  norms that reinforce consistency among staff. How is this likely to affect overall  job satisfaction? What effect will it have on employees who are not conforming in  personality?        Part B: Ethical Behavior    Modern Criminal Justice managers want to promote ethical behaviors in their  organizations. Considering this statement, answer the following questions using a  350-word minimum for each answer.  1. Discuss the three ways leaders can manage ethical behavior in their  organizations. Provide at least one example from a current law enforcement  agency that supports your discussion. 2. Are the management theories discussed only a U.S. concept or do other  countries manage their organizations in this way? Explain your answer and  provide examples.
