What type of activities are allowed during Phase I of the Restrictive Housing Program?

  1. Group therapy sessions only

  2. Individual mental health counseling only

  3. In cell programming and out of cell activities

  4. Only educational classes

The correct answer is: In cell programming and out of cell activities

In Phase I of the Restrictive Housing Program, inmates typically have access to a mix of in-cell programming and out-of-cell activities. This structure is designed to maintain a level of engagement and support for inmates, while still observing the safety and security protocols that are essential in restrictive settings. In-cell programming can include a variety of educational materials, self-help resources, or structured routines that facilitate personal development. Out-of-cell activities could involve supervised programs that allow inmates to interact with staff or participate in recreational activities within a controlled environment. The combination of both in-cell and out-of-cell activities is crucial for promoting mental health and socialization, reducing feelings of isolation, and providing opportunities for skill development, ultimately aiding in the rehabilitation process while still safeguarding the integrity of the facility. Other options, while they encompass valid therapeutic approaches, do not fully capture the program's comprehensive nature that includes both types of activities crucial for inmate rehabilitation and support in a restrictive setting.
