Which term describes the low-risk security status for inmates considered to have adjusted well and minimal violent history?

• A. Negligence
• B. Natural Disaster
• C. Minimum Security Level
• D. Misdemeanor

Answer: (C)

In corrections, security levels describe how closely an inmate is supervised. A minimum security level is used for inmates considered low risk because they’ve adjusted well and have little or no violent history. With this status, supervision is more relaxed, and inmates typically have access to more programs, work opportunities, and less restrictive housing than higher-security levels. The other terms don’t fit: negligence refers to failing to exercise proper care, not a prison housing status; a natural disaster is an external event, not a classification of inmate risk; a misdemeanor is a type of offense, not a security level.
