Correctional Counselor (CC1) Practice Exam

What occurs if a VIO AD was imposed by an ICC?

1. Only the UCC can remove it

2. The ICC can refer the case for removal

3. It can be automatically removed

4. The UCC cannot act on it

The correct answer is: The UCC cannot act on it

The correct choice indicates that the UCC cannot act on it when a VIO AD is imposed by an ICC. This means that the authority and responsibility to address or remove a Violator’s Involvement Order Admonishment (VIO AD) lies with the entity that imposed it. The ICC, or Institutional Classification Committee, has specific jurisdiction over the decision to impose such an order based on its assessments and deliberations related to an individual’s conduct. In this context, it is important to understand that once an ICC has made a ruling or imposed an admonishment, it retains control over that decision, and other entities such as the UCC (Unit Classification Committee) do not have the authority to intervene or alter the outcome. This structure is designed to ensure that decisions regarding discipline and conduct are centralized and that the committees that impose sanctions hold the primary responsibility for their enforcement and potential removal. Recognizing this chain of authority is crucial for understanding the correctional system's administrative processes. It helps clarify the roles and powers of different committees within the system and reinforces the importance of adhering to established protocols for addressing misconduct.
