In the UDC's Restrictive Housing Program, what is necessary for advancement through the phases?

  1. Satisfactory completion of training

  2. Agreed upon criteria for each housing area

  3. Time served in RH

  4. Approval from other inmates

The correct answer is: Agreed upon criteria for each housing area

Advancement through the phases in the UDC's Restrictive Housing Program is contingent upon agreed-upon criteria for each housing area. This means that specific standards and expectations have been established that inmates must meet to progress to the next phase. These criteria are tailored to the unique requirements of each housing area within the program and ensure that the advancement process is objective and consistent. The use of agreed-upon criteria helps maintain order and promotes rehabilitative goals by providing clear benchmarks for behavior and compliance that inmates can strive to meet. By focusing on criteria, the program effectively encourages personal accountability and facilitates measurable progress based on individual performance rather than arbitrary factors like time served or the opinions of other inmates.
