Which inmates are explicitly eligible for custody in reduced custody housing area beyond misdemeanants and non-dangerous felons?

• A. Sentenced inmates only
• B. Un-sentenced inmates only
• C. Misdemeanants, non-dangerous felons, or such other inmates deemed not to present risk
• D. Only violent offenders

Answer: (C)

Reduced custody housing is for inmates who pose a lower risk to safety and security. The question asks who is eligible beyond the two common groups of misdemeanants and non-dangerous felons. The policy explicitly includes additional inmates who are deemed not to present risk. This means eligibility isn’t limited to just sentenced or just unsentenced inmates, and it isn’t restricted to violent offenders. The phrasing recognizes that any inmate who, after assessment, is considered not to present risk can be placed in reduced custody housing. That's why the correct choice lists misdemeanants, non-dangerous felons, or such other inmates deemed not to present risk. The other options are too narrow, excluding these broader low-risk possibilities.
