Under the applicable statute for custodial sexual relations, who is considered protected?

Only inmates held under long-term sentencing
Anyone under correctional supervision
Only juveniles in custody
Individuals awaiting trial only

The correct answer is: Anyone under correctional supervision

The correct answer identifies that anyone under correctional supervision is considered protected under the applicable statute for custodial sexual relations. This broad definition ensures that various vulnerable groups within the correctional system are safeguarded against potential exploitation or abuse by individuals in positions of authority, such as corrections officers. This protection extends beyond just inmates held on long-term sentences or juveniles, recognizing that any individual under the care and supervision of a correctional facility deserves the same level of protection, regardless of their legal status. It includes those awaiting trial, serving short-term sentences, or involved in any type of correctional program. Ensuring that all these individuals are protected reflects a comprehensive approach to addressing power dynamics and the potential for abuse in correctional environments.
