Discuss the use of deadly force in correctional settings and when it can be used
What will be an ideal response?
The use of deadly force in prisons is not uncommon. The courts have ruled that deadly force is allowed in order to prevent the commission of a felony or the infliction of severe bodily harm. Deadly force must only be used as a last resort after all other means have failed. Prison officials are not liable for the use of deadly force unless it is proved that they acted in a wanton manner.
