True or False: Inmates on a work release or weekend sentence are considered to be in full custody.

Inmates on a work release or weekend sentence are not considered to be in full custody. While they are still under the legal supervision of the correctional facility, their custody status is more permissive than that of inmates who are fully incarcerated. Work release programs allow inmates to leave the facility during the day for employment purposes, returning only at designated times. Weekend sentences typically require inmates to serve their time in the detention center over the weekend but do not equate to full custody.

Full custody implies that the individual is continuously monitored and confined without any freedoms or privileges to leave the facility. Since individuals on work release or weekend sentences experience a degree of freedom and responsibility not afforded to those in full custody, the statement is indeed false. Thus, those inmates do not retain the same level of custodial control, and their classification does not align with full custody criteria.
