Questions and Answers

1.

Arrangements shall be made with____________________________ to borrow law books not contained in the adult county correctional facility's own collection.
- A.
  
  A bar association
- B.
  
  Law libraries
- C.
  
  Law school(s)
- D.
  
  A bar association, law school(s), or other law libraries
Correct Answer
D. A bar association, law school(s), or other law libraries

Explanation
Arrangements shall be made with a bar association, law school(s), or other law libraries to borrow law books not contained in the adult county correctional facility's own collection. This means that the correctional facility will reach out to these institutions to borrow law books that they do not already have. This shows that the facility is actively seeking to provide access to a wide range of legal resources for its inmates.

Rate this question:
2.

Inmates who so request shall be given access to the Inmate Law Library on a schedule which permits as many inmates as possible to use the library, depending on: 1. The resources of the adult county correctional facility; 2. The availability of space; and 3. Security Considerations.
- A.
  
  True
- B.
  
  False
Correct Answer
A. True

Explanation
Inmates who request access to the Inmate Law Library will be granted access based on certain factors. These factors include the resources of the correctional facility, the availability of space, and security considerations. This means that the number of inmates allowed to use the library at any given time will depend on these factors. Therefore, the statement is true.

Rate this question:
3.

While attending the law library Inmate Smith was observed breaking the computer. As punishment for the infraction, you order his law library access denied for a 3 day period. Your actions do not violate 10A.
- A.
  
  True
- B.
  
  False
Correct Answer
B. False

Explanation
The statement is false because denying Inmate Smith's law library access for a 3 day period without a valid reason or due process may violate his rights under the 10th Amendment (10A) of the Constitution. The 10th Amendment protects individual rights and limits the power of the government, including prison authorities, to infringe upon those rights without proper justification. In this case, there is no mention of a valid reason or due process, so the action of denying access may be considered a violation of the 10th Amendment.

Correct Answer
B. False

Explanation
In certain extreme instances and with the approval of a supervisor of the rank of lieutenant or above, an inmate may be denied direct personal access to the Inmate Law Library. This statement is false. It implies that denial of direct personal access to the library is a possibility, but this is not the case. The statement suggests that denial of access is a rare occurrence, but it does not indicate that it is never allowed.

  NEW JERSEY ADMINISTRATIVE CODE
- D.
  
  N.J.A.C. 4A
Correct Answer
B. The inmate's civil rights

Explanation
The correct answer is the inmate's civil rights. This means that when imposing sanctions for infractions, it is important to ensure that the inmate's civil rights are not violated. The sanctions should be directly related to the infraction committed and should be applied fairly to all inmates. This ensures that the punishment is appropriate and does not infringe upon the rights of the inmate.

Rate this question:

- A.

- B.
  
  False
Correct Answer
A. True

Explanation
The staff at the adult county correctional facility is required to develop a written inmate disciplinary rule book that includes various components such as all chargeable offenses, the schedule of sanctions, the disciplinary procedures, the disciplinary appeal process, and a notice that N.J.A.C. 10A:4, Inmate Discipline, also applies to State sentenced inmates incarcerated within the adult county correctional facility. This statement is true because it accurately reflects the requirement for the development of a comprehensive inmate disciplinary rule book.

Rate this question:
11.

Each inmate shall be given a copy of the disciplinary rule book within seven days and the inmate shall sign a form acknowledging receipt of the rule book.
- A.
  
  True
- B.
  
  False
Correct Answer
B. False

Explanation
The statement is false because it states that each inmate shall be given a copy of the disciplinary rule book within seven days and the inmate shall sign a form acknowledging receipt of the rule book. However, the statement does not specify whether or not the inmates actually receive the rule book or sign the form. Therefore, without this information, we cannot assume that the statement is true.

Rate this question:
12.

Staff members are not required to assist inmates who are illiterate, not sufficiently conversant with the English language or otherwise unable to read due to a physical or medical inability in understanding the disciplinary rules.
- A.
  
  True
- B.
  
  False
Correct Answer
B. False

Explanation
Staff members are required to assist inmates who are illiterate, not sufficiently conversant with the English language, or otherwise unable to read due to a physical or medical inability in understanding the disciplinary rules. This is because it is the responsibility of staff members to ensure that all inmates have a clear understanding of the rules and regulations in order to maintain a safe and orderly environment within the facility.

Rate this question:
13.

Which of the following are required when an employee prepares a disciplinary report? I. The specific rule violated II. Facts supporting the charge III. The disposition of any physical evidence IV. The date and time of the hearing V. The reporting staff member's signature
- A.
  
  All of the above
- B.
  
  I, II, III, AND IV
- C.
  
  I, II, IV, AND V
- D.
  
  I, II, III, AND V
Correct Answer
D. I, II, III, AND V

Explanation
When an employee prepares a disciplinary report, they are required to include the specific rule violated (I) in order to clearly identify the offense. They also need to include facts supporting the charge (II) to provide evidence and justification for the disciplinary action. The disposition of any physical evidence (III) is necessary to document any tangible proof related to the violation. Lastly, the reporting staff member's signature (V) is required to authenticate the report and establish accountability. Therefore, all of the above options (I, II, III, AND V) are necessary when an employee prepares a disciplinary report.

Rate this question:
14.

Employees shall prepare a disciplinary report when the employees have probable cause that an inmate has committed a violation of the adult county correctional facility rules.
- A.
  
  True
- B.
  
  False
Correct Answer
B. False

Explanation
Employees are not responsible for preparing a disciplinary report solely based on their own belief or suspicion. The statement mentions that employees should prepare a disciplinary report only when they have "probable cause" that an inmate has violated the rules. This indicates that there should be reasonable evidence or justification to support the claim before taking disciplinary action. Therefore, the correct answer is False.

Rate this question:
15.

Punishment for any Inmate Law Library infraction, such as damage to the law books or disruptive conduct, shall ordinarily include denial of access to the Inmate Law Library
- A.
  
  True
- B.
  
  False
Correct Answer
B. False

Explanation
The statement is false because it states that the punishment for any infraction in the Inmate Law Library would ordinarily include denial of access to the library. However, the word "ordinarily" suggests that denial of access is not always the punishment for every infraction. Therefore, the statement is not entirely true and the correct answer is false.

Rate this question:

- C.
  
  A major violation, On-The-Spot Correction
- D.
  
  A minor violation, corrective action
Correct Answer

When an inmate commits a minor violation, it is immediately addressed and sanctioned through On-The-Spot Correction. This means that the correction or punishment is applied immediately after the offense is committed, without delay or the need for further investigation or deliberation. This process is reserved for minor violations, as major violations may require more extensive investigation and disciplinary action.

- A.
  
  True

B. False

Explanation
The explanation for the answer "False" is that the statement is incorrect.

- A.
  
  True
- B.
  
  False
Correct Answer
B. False

Explanation
The explanation for the correct answer, which is False, is that even though Hearing Officer Nick was the only witness to the inmate on inmate assault, it does not automatically authorize him to conduct the hearing. The fact that no staff members were injured in the event is irrelevant to determining whether he is authorized or not. The authority to conduct the hearing should be based on the proper protocols, qualifications, and guidelines set by the institution or organization.

- D.

- A.
  
  True
- B.
  
  False
Correct Answer
B. False

Explanation

The question implies that they should receive a hearing within that time frame, but it does not specify any legal requirement or policy that enforces this. Therefore, the statement is incorrect.

Rate this question:
33.

- A.
  
  True
- B.
  
  False
Correct Answer
B. False

Explanation
Inmate Smith must win his appeal based on the grounds that he was refused access to the Disciplinary Board's deliberation. However, the correct answer is False. The fact that he was denied access to the deliberation does not automatically guarantee that he will win his appeal. The outcome of the appeal will depend on various factors, such as the specific rules and regulations regarding access to deliberations, the strength of his argument, and the decision of the appellate authority.

Rate this question:

- A.

Therefore, the statement is incorrect, and inmates are indeed provided the opportunity to call witnesses.

This ensures a fair and just process while also prioritizing the safety and security of everyone involved.

- A.
  
  True
- B.

This suggests that there are circumstances where further investigation is needed before proceeding with the hearing, and during this time, the hearing can be delayed. The specific timeframes mentioned, 48 hours for Prehearing Detention cases and seven days for all other hearings, indicate the maximum duration of the postponement.

Rate this question:

  All of the above
- B.
  
  I, II, AND III
- C.
  
  II, III, AND IV
- D.
  
  I, II, AND IV
Correct Answer
D. I, II, AND IV

Explanation
At the conclusion of the Disciplinary Hearing, the written decision must include the finding on the question of guilt, the sanction imposed, and the date and time of the hearing. This ensures that there is a clear record of the decision made, the consequences imposed, and the details of the hearing for future reference and documentation. Including a list of all witnesses may also be important for transparency and accountability, but it is not stated that it must be included in the written decision. Therefore, the correct answer is I, II, AND IV.

Rate this question:
39.

In accordance with 10A:31-16.15 Inmate Smith has filed an appeal to his disciplinary decision with new evidence that will clear him of all institutional charges. Smith submitted the appeal within the 72-hour window. According to 10A, the warden must overturn the decision.
- A.
  
  True
- B.
  
  False
Correct Answer
B. False

Explanation
According to the given information, Inmate Smith filed an appeal to his disciplinary decision with new evidence within the required time frame. However, the correct answer is false, which means that the warden is not required to overturn the decision. This suggests that there might be other factors or requirements stated in 10A that need to be considered before the warden can make a decision on the appeal.

The Administrator may not increase the sanction imposed by the Disciplinary Board/hearing officer.
- A.
  
  True
- B.
  
  False
Correct Answer
A. True

Explanation
The statement is true because the administrator does not have the authority to increase the sanction imposed by the Disciplinary Board or hearing officer. The administrator's role is to review the decision made by the board or officer and determine if any further action is necessary. However, the administrator does not have the power to modify or increase the sanction that has been imposed.

Rate this question:

- A.
  
  True
- B.
  
  False
Correct Answer
B. False

Explanation
The correct answer is False. The explanation for this is that according to 10A:31-17.1, the area supervisor alone does not have the authority to place an inmate into disciplinary detention. The decision to place an inmate into disciplinary detention should be made by the hearing officers based on their anticipated findings after conferring with the area supervisor. Therefore, the actions described in the question do not comply with 10A:31-17.1.

Rate this question:
42.

Which of the following is not true in regard to the amount of time an inmate may receive in Disciplinary Detention: I. Shall be proportionate to the offence committed II. The severity of the offence; III. The inmate's attitude during the hearing; IV. The inmate's specific program needs; and
