- Abstract
While the issue of corruption behavior among those public servants has been largely emphasized over the past years after the establishment of Agency Against Corruption (AAC) in 2011, most studies have been conducted on civil engineering officers and police officers. Recently, some significant scandals occurred in corrections indicating that several high-rank correctional officers have been bribed to bring some prohibited items into facilities and arrange inmates' friends and relatives to visit inmates through middlemen. This corruption event impacts the public confidence in the correctional system, as well as the criminal justice system in Taiwan. Although this is a tough issue, to the best of our knowledge, there has been no study exploring the causality, behavioral course, and prevention strategies among correctional staff in Taiwan. Using the quantitative method of in-depth interview, six inmates who were correctional officers before incarceration have been invited as interviewees to help researchers understand the characteristics, causes, and history of corruption cases involving correctional officers in Taiwan. Then, this study proposes some specific prevention and control strategies on anticorruption to correctional administrators accordingly.
