8 Confidentiality or Security? You have been working as a counselor at the community correctional center for three years. You feel good about your job and the results you have achieved. No inmate or civilian has ever questioned Juan Lopez's ethics or integrity. You are presently working on an especially interesting case. A young twenty-two-year-old second-time drug offender named Rafael has really been opening up to you and seems to be turning himself around in terms of his personal values and motivation. The trust between the two of you is apparent. In fact, just several days ago the superintendent commented on how much better your client seemed to be doing since you had taken him on your caseload. However, during the last counseling session your client disclosed something that could severely disrupt your relationship with him, and you are not sure what to do about it. Halfway through your last session, in a moment of frustration, Rafael blurted the whole thing out. Apparently he and two other inmates had been planning an escape for some time. After Rafael became your client and began making progress, he had second thoughts about being involved in the escape. The other two inmates, however, threatened to implicate him if anything went wrong with their attempt. The escape attempt is planned for the following night. Rafael is distraught as to what he should do, and since you are his counselor, you are somewhat dis- traught also. As a correctional counselor you are not only responsible for counsel- ing inmates but have implicit security responsibilities as well. If the escape attempt is allowed to continue as planned, correctional officers, inmates, or both might be seriously injured or killed. If the plan is quashed, you will have failed to honor the confidentiality of your client, and Rafael will most probably suffer repercussions. Needless to say, your counseling relationship with him will also be severely damaged. It seems you have to sacrifice either Rafael—and your counseling relationship with him—or the security of the correctional center. Confi- dentiality or security, which must it be? Can there be another way? 99 100 Section Three QUESTIONS FOR DISCUSSION 1. Sometimes legal concerns conflict with client confidentiality. Although custody issues come first, what might the likely costs be to your thera- peutic relationship with the inmate in question? 2. What other options are available? 3. Does Rafael have a right to ask you to remain quiet about the attempt?
