10a-31 Definitions 2014 Test #2

Probable cause refers to the reasonable grounds of suspicion, supported by strong circumstances, that would lead a cautious person to believe that a criminal activity is taking place. This means that there is enough evidence or information to suggest that a crime has been or is being committed. It does not pertain to other incidents such as arson, emergency medical procedures, or administrative rule violations.

Unencumbered space refers to usable space that is not obstructed or hindered by any furnishings or fixtures. This means that the area is clear and free from any obstacles or obstructions, allowing for easy movement and utilization of the space.

The correct answer is Only I, II, and III are correct. This is because the definition of contraband includes any item that is not authorized for retention or receipt, any item that is authorized but in excessive amount or altered, and any article that may be harmful or a security threat to the correctional facility. Article IV is incorrect because it refers to articles issued by the facility, which would not be considered contraband.

All of the mentioned items (I, II, III, and IV) can be considered sources to put an inmate on protective custody. Investigative reports and reports from informants can provide important information about potential threats or dangers to an inmate's safety. Events, such as fights or altercations, can also indicate the need for protective custody. Additionally, sources of reliable information, which can include various sources such as intelligence reports or credible witnesses, can contribute to the decision to place an inmate in protective custody.

Training and experience is the correct answer because reasonable belief is based on an objective assessment made by a custody staff member at the scene. This assessment is influenced by the individual's training and experience in handling similar situations. The more training and experience a staff member has, the more likely they are to make an accurate and reasonable assessment of how to react to a given situation. Therefore, training and experience play a crucial role in forming a reasonable belief.

All of the options, I, II, III, and IV, would be considered weapons under the definition section in chapter 10A-31. A stun gun, an un-loaded firearm, a sandclub, and a studded leather band all have the potential to be used as weapons and therefore fall under the definition of a weapon.

The use of stamps and electronic devices has been approved by the Facility Administrator for the inmate population. According to Chapter 31, these items are not considered contraband regardless of where they are found.

All of the options provided (computers, telephones, and radio) fall under the definition of an electronic communication device as they are capable of receiving, transmitting, or storing messages, images, or data. Therefore, none of them would be considered as not being an electronic communication device.

County work release is a program that allows certain inmates to be in the community while serving their sentence. They are permitted to engage in remunerative employment, which means they can work and earn money. Additionally, they can attend vocational training to acquire new skills that can benefit them in the future. Lastly, they are also allowed to attend to their family needs, such as taking care of their children or supporting their family financially. This program aims to provide inmates with opportunities to reintegrate into society and improve their chances of successful rehabilitation.

Chapter 31-1.1 does not establish authority for the internal affairs unit in a county facility. It sets forth the purpose for minimum criteria for the planning, design, and construction of a new county facility, minimum criteria for the administration of county correctional facilities, and guidelines for the provisions of programs and services to inmates.

The correct answer is "Inmate work release." Inmate work release refers to a program where inmates are allowed to leave the correctional facility during the day to work in the community. It is considered a productive occupation as it provides inmates with the opportunity to gain job skills, earn money, and reintegrate into society. This type of work is separate from inmate work details, which are typically assigned tasks within the correctional facility itself, and inmate discipline, which relates to disciplinary actions taken against inmates. Probable cause is unrelated to the concept of productive occupation.

Mr. Perez is not considered a foreign national because he presents a permanent alien resident card for identification. This card indicates that he is a legal resident of the United States, even though he is not a US citizen. Therefore, he is not classified as a foreign national.

The correct answer is "No". The question asks if supervising a unit of 128 inmates is considered watching a multiple occupancy unit in accordance with 10-31.1.3. The answer "No" indicates that supervising a unit of 128 inmates does not meet the criteria for a multiple occupancy unit according to the specified regulation.

The combination of a first initial and Social Security number would not be considered personal information under Chapter 31. This is because the first initial alone does not provide enough information to identify a specific individual, and the Social Security number is considered sensitive personal information that should be protected.
