Which custody level is described as minimum security, typically for inmates with low risk?

• A. Minimum Security Level
• B. Misdemeanor
• C. Negligence
• D. Non-contact visits

Answer: (A)

Custody levels classify inmates by risk and supervision needs. Minimum security is the level set for inmates who are considered low risk for violence or escape and who can operate with fewer restraints and more program opportunities. This makes it the best answer because it directly names a custody level that corresponds to the description given in the question.

The other terms don’t fit as custody levels: a misdemeanor is a crime category, negligence is a standard of care in law, and non-contact visits describe a visiting restriction rather than how inmates are classified for supervision and housing.
