Abstract
Correctional staff becoming romantically involved with inmates is a serious violation of professional ethics. Relationships of this nature create an environment detrimental to both the safety and security of everyone in the facility, including the inmates. This paper focuses on why female correctional staff becomes sexually attracted to inmates. A research project was completed by surveying the correctional managers and line staff at 1300-bed county jail and through personal interviews with three correctional managers with extensive experience in various types of correctional settings. The study looked at the potential causes of Low Self-esteem, Inmate Manipulation, Insecure Home Life, and Bad Boy Attraction. The end results indicated self-esteem issues as a concern and the possible need for gender-specific personal boundaries training for correctional personnel.
