In reference to the criteria for VIO AD removal, what does "negative in-custody behavior" refer to?

Involvement in violent incidents
Participation in educational programs
Making positive contributions
Following all institutional rules

The correct answer is: Involvement in violent incidents

"Negative in-custody behavior" specifically relates to actions that are detrimental or harmful within the correctional environment. This concept usually encompasses involvement in violent incidents, which indicates a disregard for safety and order. Such behaviors can significantly impede rehabilitation efforts by creating a threatening atmosphere for both staff and inmates. In contrast, participation in educational programs, making positive contributions, and following institutional rules all reflect constructive behaviors that are encouraged within correctional facilities. These behaviors support rehabilitation and indicate a commitment to improving one's circumstances while incarcerated. Therefore, they do not align with the notion of negative behavior, which is why they are not considered correct in this context.
