Many jurisdictions still strongly believe that the best way to manage potentially dangerous prisoners is through placing them in solitary confinement, sometimes indefinitely. Yet many other jurisdictions, as well as outside experts on mental health and behavior, argue that this type of setting is harmful to inmates, does not prevent violence, and does not make staff safe. In your opinion, should solitary confinement continue to be used in correctional settings? What are your thoughts on solitary confinement? Is this considered cruel and unusual punishment?

For many large, global companies that do business in emerging market countries, the risk of corruption is a part of everyday life. Without bribing public officials in those countries, these companies could never build a factory, hire employees, get permission to build infrastructure, sell their products, or conduct other business functions. Shipping merchandise and other items in or out of these countries can be equally difficult, with customs agents in these countries demanding unofficial or “grease” payments to allow shipments to be made. If you worked for one of these global companies, how would you respond to being asked by a senior executive to pay a bribe to a foreign government official to obtain or retain business? Are bribes and “grease” payments a necessary part of doing business abroad and what can be done to lessen the risk?
