What is strongly advised for inmates identified as high risk?

For inmates identified as high risk, constant monitoring is strongly advised because it ensures their safety and the safety of others. High-risk inmates may be prone to suicidal tendencies, aggressive behavior, or may pose a threat to themselves or fellow inmates. Continuous observation allows jail staff to quickly respond to any potential issues, preventing incidents before they escalate. Additionally, this monitoring can help staff identify any changes in behavior that might indicate a need for further mental health intervention or other support.

In comparison, daily exercise routines, group therapy sessions, and free access to communication devices may not provide the immediate oversight necessary for high-risk individuals. While these options could play a role in overall inmate health and rehabilitation, they do not specifically address the urgent need for safety and intervention that constant monitoring provides.
