Correctional Counselor (CC1) Practice Exam

What happens to inmates in work/training group D2 regarding credit?

1. They receive full credit

2. They are granted some credit based on behavior

3. Zero credit given

4. They must serve an additional term

The correct answer is: Zero credit given

Inmates in work/training group D2 typically are not awarded any credit towards their sentence. This classification often exists as part of a behavioral management system where specific groups of inmates do not meet the criteria for earning time credits. Factors influencing this designation can include the nature of the offenses committed, behavioral issues while incarcerated, or the level of participation in rehabilitation or work programs. In such systems, not granting credit serves as a tool to encourage positive behavior and discourage actions that would otherwise disrupt the rehabilitation process. The aim is to motivate inmates to engage in productive activities and modeling of good behavior by showing that there are tangible benefits to doing so.
