Who is authorized to issue extra laundry items?

The correct answer indicates that a Correctional Health Services professional (CHS) is authorized to issue extra laundry items. This reflects the specific responsibilities assigned to CHS staff, which commonly include managing health-related needs within the facility, as well as addressing hygiene requirements. In many correctional institutions, ensuring that inmates have access to adequate hygiene products—including laundry items—is often a responsibility assigned to health services personnel rather than correctional officers or administrative staff.

Unit Managers generally oversee the management and operations within specific units but may not have direct authority to control aspects governed by health and hygiene standards. Similarly, the Chief Deputy has a higher administrative function and would typically not be engaged in issuing ordinary laundry items. Correctional Officers, while responsible for maintaining order and security, also do not typically have the authority to issue extra laundry items as that usually falls under the scope of health services or designated personnel with specific mandates related to inmate health and hygiene.

Overall, this delineation of responsibilities ensures that inmates' hygiene needs are addressed while maintaining accountability within the correctional system.
