“The Debate on Corporal Punishment in Modern Corrections: Examining Ethics and Effectiveness”

You are a correction officer in a maximum correctional facility. 
There is a violent prisoner who refuses to comply with the institutional rules. Staff members are unsure how to gain their compliance and are thinking of using flogging or whipping to curtail their violent behavior towards other prisoners and staff. In your own opinion, should current-day corrections incorporate punishments that were once used but later outlawed due to the cruel and harmful nature of such acts (e.g., corporal punishment, flogging, or whipping)? Be sure to explain and defend your answer fully.
