Unescorted temporary absence.

Unescorted temporary absence.

• A. a type of conditional release that allows an offender to be out of prison during the day and requires him or her to return at night
• B. a type of conditional release that permits the offender to leave the institution accompanied by one or several members of CSC
• C. a type of conditional release that permits the offender to leave that institution unaccompanied by a member of CSC
• D. a structured program of release that involves work or community service

Answer: (C)

Unescorted temporary absence is a form of conditional release where the offender is allowed to leave the institution without an escort from CSC. The defining feature is that there is no CSC staff member accompanying them during the absence. This distinguishes it from escorted temporary absence, where the offender must be accompanied by a CSC member. The other described scenarios involve either being accompanied (an escort) or being released into a structured program (work or community service) rather than an unescorted leave from the facility. Therefore, the description that matches leaving unaccompanied by a CSC member is the correct interpretation.
