Which of the following statements lists crimes staff or visitors can commit in a correctional facility?

• A. Petit theft only.
• B. None; staff cannot commit crimes in facilities.
• C. Only policy violations.
• D. Introduction of contraband, sexual misconduct, and bribery.

Answer: (D)

Crimes can be committed inside correctional facilities by people other than inmates—staff and visitors are capable of unlawful acts there. The combination of introducing contraband, sexual misconduct, and bribery covers offenses that violate criminal law and facility rules, not just internal discipline. This is why that statement is the best fit: it names deliberate criminal acts that can occur within the facility and expose individuals to criminal liability. The other options are too narrow or inaccurate—petit theft alone doesn’t capture the broader range of crimes that can involve staff or visitors; staff can and do commit crimes inside facilities; and some actions are policy violations rather than crimes.
