Conflict of Interest is a form of corruption. It is defined as, "improper use of a person's authority for personal gain or advantage." Read the following scenario and answer the three questions that follow. You are working as a correctional officer at the medium security prison located in your community. You are undertaking a major renovation on your house. You visit the local lumberyard to purchase drywall for your project. The clerk who serves you is the brother of one of the offenders under your charge at the prison. The clerk waives the posted $25.00 dollar delivery charge on your order. When the order is delivered, you find that there are five more sheets of drywall than you ordered. You know you will need the extra drywall for a future home renovation you are planning. This situation raises several questions respecting corruption of authority. 1. What impact might a decision to overlook the clerk's actions have if you must discipline the clerk's brother in the future? 2. What might the effect be of the clerk telling his brother about the situation? 3. What should you do in this situation
