Prompt
Creating questions for an interview is a crucial element of the interview process. As you have learned there are two main question types that can be used strategically to obtain the desired information from the interviewee. For this practice activity, review the Project One Scenario Pdf and then read the following:
The female visitor has been escorted to a small room, which is bare of all decorations and furniture, except for a small, white rectangular table and three unpadded chairs. You have been briefed on the situation regarding the attempted delivery of contraband and have been tasked with conducting an interview. After you enter the room with only a pen and a manila folder containing a notepad and several forms, you introduce yourself to the female visitor and sit down at the table. She has obviously been crying, and her hands are visibly shaking.
Consider the situation and the purpose of the interview in the preceding scenario. Then create two questions, one closed designed to address the purpose for the interview. Be sure to explain your thinking behind the questions you create. Completing this activity will help you understand the difference between and purpose of the two main question types, and will prepare you for further question creation in your Module Six assignment.
After you read the scenario, address the following:
• Write one closed question.
• How is this question being used to move toward the purpose of the interview? What do you hope to achieve with this question?
• Write one open question.
• How is this question being used to move toward the purpose of the interview? What do you hope to achieve with this question?
Specifically, the following rubric criteria must be addressed:
• Develop one closed question.
• Identify the purpose of the closed question.
• Develop one open question.
• Identify the purpose of the open question.
Scenario
Southern New Hampshire University
CI 140 Project One Scenario
Family Visit to Jail
A female enters a correctional facility with her three minor children, ages three, five, and nine, to visit her husband, who is incarcerated. When she enters the facility, she signs in and follows the procedures to prepare for her visit. As she signs a form in which she acknowledges that she is in a correctional facility and therefore her person, property, and vehicle are all subject to search at any time, and that audio and video recordings are taking place throughout her visit, she frowns and shushes her children.
Her husband is brought to a visitation room. A sign advises all visitors and inmates that audio and video recording is taking place. The design of the room prevents the inmates from having any physical contact with their visitors. The room and each visitor are actively monitored via closed-circuit (CCTV) surveillance by facility officials. The inmate and visitor speak with each other via handset using an internal phone system. Their conversation is recorded.
During the visit, the corrections officer watching the interaction believes that a form of nonverbal communication is taking place between the female and her husband. The husband and wife are not speaking English, and the corrections officer listening does not understand the language they are speaking. It also appears as if the husband is tapping the plexiglass in a pattern, and then the female responds with a similar tapping. The corrections officer also believes that the female removed an object from her mouth and placed it in a small gap between the plexiglass and the desk. The corrections officer observing the situation silently signals to the corrections officer at the exit. The facility continues to monitor the interaction, without intervening, and the female repeats this action one more time.
While this interaction is taking place, the corrections officer also notes that the female continually bounces her leg, the children all sit silently against the wall with slouched shoulders, and the inmate nods his head any time he is not tapping on the glass.
After they conclude their visit, the female leaves the area silently. The corrections officer opens the doc for her and walks alongside her, creating a space between her and her children.
As a matter of procedure, after each visit, all visitors and inmates are removed from the visitation room, he room is cleared by a prison official, and the room is then cleaned by a trustee-inmate in preparation or the next group. Before the trustee-inmate gains access to the room, prison officials tell him to wait. he trustee-inmate raises his eyebrow when told not to enter the area, but he silently complies with the orrections officer’s order. A corrections officer goes in and closely inspects the area where the female ppeared to place the object. They find contraband.
The corrections officers direct the female to a waiting room and kneel down to address her children before they leave the prison. The situation begins to escalate as the female and her children are separated by the corrections officers.
