In 5 pages, the author posits that female correctional officers should be used in male correctional institutions (prisons).

It is discriminatory to not use female officers in male institutions, because of Equal Opportunity under the law. 2). Female correctional officers have the same training as male officers. 3). There are fewer numbers of female correctional institutions; therefore restricting female corrections officers to female correctional institutions limits their ability to find a job. 4). Female corrections officers are able to communicate with male inmates on a different level than male officers are." Bibliography lists 4 sources.
