No contact with adult inmates equals what type of separation?

• A. Isolation
• B. Supervision
• C. Separation
• D. Sight and Sound

Answer: (D)

The idea here is protecting younger inmates by blocking what they can see and hear. No contact with adult inmates is achieved through Sight and Sound separation, which keeps youths apart from adults by using barriers and separate housing so they cannot visually or audibly interact. This is specifically about eliminating exposure between age groups to reduce risk and influence, while still allowing normal supervision and age-appropriate programs. It’s distinct from isolation, which is complete solitary confinement with no social contact, and from generic separation or supervision, which don’t necessarily guarantee no sight or sound contact.
