Which of the following is NOT one of the 6 elements of a VIO review?

  1. Extent of the injury

  2. Financial impact

  3. Intent vs neglect

  4. History of similar acts

The correct answer is: Financial impact

The element that is considered not part of the six components of a VIO (Violation of Inmate’s Rights) review is the financial impact. In the context of a VIO review, the primary focus is on assessing the actions and behaviors that contribute to the violation of rights rather than the monetary implications associated with it. The extent of injury ensures that the seriousness of the harm caused is evaluated, while intent versus neglect helps determine the mindset of the individuals involved—whether the actions were deliberate or a result of carelessness. The history of similar acts is crucial for understanding patterns of behavior and assessing whether the violation is part of a recurring issue. Therefore, the financial aspects do not fit within the primary components necessary for a comprehensive VIO review.
