<p>This study formulated and analyzed a nonlinear deterministic compartmental model of corruption dynamics that explicitly incorporates the influence of corrupt immigrants on a naive population. The population is divided into six compartments: susceptible, exposed, corrupt, prosecuted, jailed, and honest individuals. The model is shown to be well posed, with a positively invariant and attracting feasible region and non-negative solutions for all time. The corruption reproduction number, , is derived using the next-generation matrix approach. The corruption-free equilibrium is proved locally and globally asymptotically stable when , while the corruption-present equilibrium is proved globally asymptotically stable when &nbsp;using quadratic Lyapunov function. Sensitivity analysis identifies the recruitment, influence, prosecution, and reform rates as the parameters to which &nbsp;is most responsive, with reform exerting the strongest negative effect. Numerical simulations confirm the analytical results and show that the long-run endemic level is independent of the initial conditions. Although the sensitivity index of the corrupt-immigrant parameter is small (+0.0437), the simulations show that corrupt immigrants act as a persistent external source of corruption; neglecting this inflow would understate persistence corruption. The results support a combined strategy weighted toward reform, since rehabilitation, civic education, and moral recovery reduce both peak and endemic corruption and ease the burden on the prison system.</p>
