Correctional Counselor (CC1) Practice Exam

When is a case-by-case VIO review unnecessary?

1. When the I/M is compliant with all regulations

2. When the I/M has an admin determinant permanently precluding min custody

3. When the I/M has successfully completed their sentence

4. When a VIO AD has been previously applied

The correct answer is: When the I/M has an admin determinant permanently precluding min custody

A case-by-case Violator Inmate Opportunity (VIO) review is unnecessary in situations where the inmate has an administrative determinant that permanently precludes them from being considered for minimum custody. This means that certain circumstances or criteria have been established that definitively disqualify the inmate from eligibility for lower custody levels, irrespective of other factors or incidents that could be evaluated. In such cases, a VIO review would be redundant since the inmate's status is already established by the administrative determination. This streamlining of the process helps to allocate resources and time effectively within the correctional system, ensuring that reviews are prioritized for inmates who might still have the opportunity for changes in their custody status. While other scenarios mentioned may suggest circumstances where a review could be less critical, they do not provide the clear-cut, definitive criteria that a permanent administrative determinant does.
