Steve, Brandon, and Dylan are three friends who have been convicted of burglary. After their sentencing, they are all sent to a prison where they take many tests to determine their programming needs. After they complete these tests, they are each sent to a different prison. Steve does not have a prior prison record and is considered a nonviolent offender, so he is sent to a prison where he resides in a dormitory-style housing unit and has a great deal of freedom of movement. Brandon, like Steve, does not have a prior prison record and is sent to a prison where he must share his cell with another inmate, and he does not have very many opportunities for educational or vocational programs. Dylan is considered a high security risk given his prior record and his behavior while he was on bail
awaiting trial. He is sent to a prison where he is subjected to a count at least four times a day and spends very little time outside of his cell. While incarcerated, Dylan is continually in trouble and commits many disciplinary infractions. He also severely injures his cellmate when they get into an argument one day. Prison administrators ultimately determine that he cannot remain in general population and transfer him to a prison where he spends his days alone in his cell and has very little time outside of his cell. He has little or no contact with other inmates or corrections officers. Dylan has been transferred to a ________-security prison. A. minimum B. maximum C. medium D. supermaximum
