How many hours of supervised physical recreation may each inmate have, and on how many days per week must this occur?

• A. 2 hours; 4 days per week
• B. 1 hour; 3 days per week
• C. 1 hour; 5 days per week
• D. 1 hour; 3 days per week

Answer: (D)

In detention settings, supervised physical recreation is kept to a limited, regular allotment each week to support health while matching staffing capacities. The schedule that fits this balance is one hour of supervised recreation on three days per week. This provides consistent physical activity, with rest days in between to manage crowding and staffing needs. Longer sessions or more frequent days would require more staff and resources and may not align with typical facility policies. So, one hour, three days per week is the standard arrangement.
