All inmates will be visually checked every hour during which time frame, unless involved in an outside program?

• A. Between 11 pm and 6 am.
• B. Between 12 am and 6 am.
• C. Between 10 pm and 7 am.
• D. Between 9 pm and 5 am.

Answer: (A)

Hourly visual checks are used to maintain safety and security during the overnight period when inmates are mainly confined to their housing units. The time frame that ensures continuous overnight supervision is from 11:00 pm to 6:00 am. Within this window, staff perform checks on the hour (for example, 11 pm, midnight, 1 am, and so on) to quickly notice any problems, such as medical needs, disturbances, or attempts to harm oneself or others. If an inmate is involved in an outside program, those checks may follow a different schedule, but the standard nighttime window covers the majority of the night for regular housing. The other time frames don’t cover the full overnight period as required.
