Which level of custody represents the lowest level of threat?

  1. Level 4

  2. Level 3

  3. Level 1

  4. Level 2

The correct answer is: Level 4

The level of custody that represents the lowest level of threat is Level 1. This classification is typically associated with inmates who are considered non-violent and pose the least risk to themselves, staff, and others. They may have lower security needs and are often allowed more privileges compared to higher custody levels. Such inmates may participate in work programs or other rehabilitative activities outside of traditional confinement settings, as they are deemed manageable within a less restrictive environment. This structured approach helps to promote rehabilitation while maintaining safety and security in correctional facilities.
