What is a requirement for inmates to be eligible for transition from Restrictive Housing to General Population?

Completion of all educational programs
Review with the RH Review Board
Immediate release once they request it
Never being disciplinary free

The correct answer is: Review with the RH Review Board

The requirement for inmates to transition from Restrictive Housing to General Population often involves a review process, typically conducted by the Restrictive Housing Review Board. This review assesses various factors such as the inmate's behavior, compliance with facility rules, and overall readiness for reintroduction into the general population setting. The board’s evaluation plays a critical role in determining if an inmate's circumstances have changed to a point where they can safely be housed with the general population without posing a risk to themselves or others. Other options, such as the completion of educational programs or immediate release requests, do not adequately capture the multifaceted assessment required for such a transition. Additionally, being “never disciplinary free” would contradict the purpose of transitioning; a history of infractions is typically evaluated to assess an inmate’s current behavior and suitability for general population placement.
