How many shower heads are needed in Dorm and Multiple Occupancy cells?

• A. At least 1 shower head for every 16 inmates or fraction thereof
• B. At least 2 shower heads for every 16 inmates or fraction thereof
• C. At least 1 shower head for every 12 inmates or fraction thereof
• D. At least 2 shower heads for every 20 inmates or fraction thereof

Answer: (A)

In dorms and multiple-occupancy cells, the number of shower heads is based on a simple capacity ratio: provide at least one shower head for every 16 inmates, rounding up for any fraction. This ensures adequate access as the inmate count changes without oversupplying. For example: - 10 inmates → 1 shower head - 17 inmates → 2 shower heads - 32 inmates → 2 shower heads - 33 inmates → 3 shower heads Other options would either require more showers than needed (a smaller ratio) or fewer showers than the standard dictates, so they don’t match the established minimum.
