  1. An officer reads the following policy: 'Inmates on medical restriction are not permitted in the general population dining hall. They must receive meals in their assigned housing unit between 7:00 AM–8:00 AM, 12:00 PM–1:00 PM, and 5:00 PM–6:00 PM.' An inmate on medical restriction arrives at the dining hall at 12:15 PM. What is the correct action?

    Answer: Direct the inmate back to their housing unit for the meal

    The policy clearly states that medically restricted inmates must receive meals in their housing unit, not the dining hall. The officer must direct the inmate back to their assigned unit.

  2. A facility map shows the intake processing area in the northeast corner, the warden's office in the northwest corner, the gymnasium in the southwest corner, and the chapel directly south of the warden's office. Which area shares the closest position to the warden's office?

    Answer: Chapel

    The chapel is described as being directly south of the warden's office, making it the closest named area to the warden's office on the map.

  3. A posted notice reads: 'Shift supervisors must conduct and document headcounts at 6:00 AM, 12:00 PM, 6:00 PM, and 12:00 AM. Any count discrepancy must be reported to the duty captain within 15 minutes of discovery.' A discrepancy is found during the 6:00 PM count at 6:08 PM. By what time must it be reported to the duty captain?

    Answer: 6:23 PM

    The policy requires reporting within 15 minutes of discovery. The discrepancy was discovered at 6:08 PM, so 15 minutes later is 6:23 PM.

  4. A line graph tracks the number of contraband items confiscated over five weeks: Week 1=8, Week 2=14, Week 3=14, Week 4=5, Week 5=11. How many weeks showed more than 10 contraband items confiscated?

    Answer: Three weeks

    Week 2 (14), Week 3 (14), and Week 5 (11) all exceeded 10 items. That is three weeks total.

  5. The following directive is issued: 'During lockdown procedures, all non-essential staff must exit secured housing units immediately. Essential personnel—defined as the shift supervisor, one assigned officer per block, and medical staff responding to an emergency—may remain.' Officer Torres is an assigned officer for Block C. During a lockdown, which statement best describes Officer Torres's status?

    Answer: Essential; may remain in Block C

    The directive explicitly lists 'one assigned officer per block' as essential personnel. Officer Torres is the assigned officer for Block C, so she qualifies as essential and may remain.

  6. A facility bulletin states: 'Visitation privileges are suspended for any inmate who receives a major disciplinary infraction. The suspension takes effect the day the infraction is issued and remains in place for 30 days. Inmates may appeal the suspension in writing within 5 days of the infraction date.' An inmate receives a major infraction on July 10. What is the last day the inmate may submit a written appeal?

    Answer: July 15

    The bulletin allows 5 days from the infraction date to appeal. Starting from July 10 and counting 5 days forward gives July 15 as the deadline.
