Answer:

C. When transferred from a local to a state prison.

Step-by-step explanation:

There are situational and psychological factors related to an inmate's suic ide.

When inmates are transferred to a state prison they're likely to be single-celled. There is a disproportionate number of inmate suic ides that occur in these special housing units.

A transfer to state prison could derive in a poor social and family support, which were held higher at a local prison.
