Which group is likely considered high-risk during transportation?

Individuals with good behavior
Alcohol and drug users
Those without prior offenses
Individuals following instructions

The correct answer is: Alcohol and drug users

The correct choice identifies alcohol and drug users as a high-risk group during transportation. This is due to the unpredictable behavior often associated with substance abuse. Individuals under the influence may exhibit erratic behavior, which can pose a danger to themselves and others during transport. The risk is heightened because such individuals may not respond to commands or directions effectively, increasing the chances of incidents, including escape attempts or confrontations. In contrast, individuals with good behavior, those without prior offenses, and individuals following instructions are typically considered lower risk regarding potential disruptions or dangers during transport. Their behavior generally suggests a willingness to comply with rules and cooperate with corrections officers, making them easier to manage in transit.
