Unconventional Delivery of Deadly Force in a Correctional Facility

Publication year: 2009 | Cataloged on: Nov. 13, 2009
ANNOTATION: This article discusses “how and when to use deadly force in a correctional facility and most importantly how to defend your actions” (p.1). Topics covered include: while taking a life is very rare, at times it must be done; the “unbeatable attitude”; survival in a life threatening situation; three types of force response that can be justified; the “Totality of the Circumstances” and justification the ones use of force; and the bottom line— correctional officers should never personally put themselves or other officers in positions of serious threat of death or harm.
