Your State Has a Severe Prison Overcrowding Problem

Your state has a severe prison overcrowding problem. One option to alleviate this overcrowding is to release inmates from prison early. Mr. Green, the head of the Department of Corrections in your state, meets with Mrs. Jones, who oversees the agency that determines whether an inmate serving his or her sentence is ready to be released early. They also discuss the requirements of the supervision of these inmates once they are released. Mrs. Jones's agency is an independent agency that is separate from the Department of Corrections. Therefore, it follows the:

A) autonomous model.
B) consolidated model.
C) integrative model.
D) totalitarian model.
