Discuss and explain the ethical issues that arose during the Abu Ghraib scandal of 2004.

What will be an ideal response?


At Abu Ghraib, some correctional officers made inmates sleep naked, crawl on the floor, and pose in pyramids naked (while staff took pictures). A number of officers also deprived inmates of food and basic necessities and engaged in physical torture. The lesson from these incidents, and countless corrections scandals over the years that have involved the systematic abuse of inmates by staff, is that some people will not act professionally, or even decently, especially when they have no education or training in that profession.
