Multiple Choice

Which of the following is not true about the Potosi Correctional Center (PCC) in Missouri and the violent misconduct of 3,403 inmates confined at PCC between January 1991 and January 2002?


A) PCC houses only three types of inmates: those who have been sentenced to death, those who have been sentenced to life without opportunity of parole (LWOP) for first-degree murder, and those who have been sentenced to a parole-eligible term. (Most of the inmates sentenced to a parole-eligible term were serving minimum sentences of 50 years.)
B) Death-sentenced inmates were "mainstreamed" or fully integrated with the non-death sentenced inmates in the general prison population.
C) During the 11-year period of mainstreaming inmates, who otherwise would have been segregated on death row, none of the death-sentenced inmates killed or attempted to kill another inmate or staff member.
D) The rates of major and minor assaults of death-sentenced inmates were higher than the rates of LWOP inmates and were 20-25 percent higher than the rates of inmates serving parole-eligible terms.
E) all of the above are true
