Use Internet resources to address the following scenario:
You are a correctional officer at the state prison. One of the inmates reveals to you his knowledge of the whereabouts of contraband in your facility.

After he provides you with the information, you reveal his involvement to the authorities.

•The paradigm of law your actions define and give reasons.
•A justification of whether you lied to the inmate.

•An explanation of whether the actions would be considered universally acceptable.
•An analysis of whether this is a form of retributive justice with reasons to support your analysis.
