Final Answer
The correct answer is 10 inmates, as one corrections officer should be provided per 10 inmates or increment thereof on each floor for direct supervision, thus the correct option is 1.
Step-by-step explanation
The question requires the number of inmates per corrections officer for direct supervision. The answer provided should be the minimum number of inmates that should be present in order for there to be direct supervision. The answer should not exceed the amount of inmates present on the floor or the amount of corrections officers working on the floor. Therefore, the answer is 10 inmates as this is the minimum amount of inmates present that would require one corrections officer for direct supervision.
The question does not take into account the type of floor the inmates are on or the type of security the corrections officers are dealing with. It is assumed that the corrections officers are overseeing the inmates in a supervised manner, rather than just a guard stationed at the door. Therefore, a minimum of 10 inmates is required in order for one corrections officer to provide direct supervision.
The question also does not consider any special circumstances, such as medical emergencies or inmates with special needs. In these cases, the number of corrections officers required could be increased to ensure the safety of the inmates. Additionally, the number of corrections officers required could be increased if the number of inmates being supervised is too high for one corrections officer to handle.
In conclusion, the correct answer is 10 inmates or increment thereof on each floor for direct supervision. This is the minimum number of inmates that should be present in order for one corrections officer to provide direct supervision.
