Inmates confined longer than ten days shall be allowed sunlight no less than how many hours weekly?

• A. 1 hour
• B. 2 hours
• C. 3 hours
• D. 4 hours

Answer: (A)

The key idea is that even during extended confinement, inmates should receive some outdoor light exposure. The policy sets a minimal weekly amount of sunlight at one hour for inmates held longer than ten days. Sunlight supports vitamin D production, helps regulate sleep-wake cycles, and can improve mood and overall well-being, which is why providing at least some outdoor time is considered important. Since the requirement specifies the minimum, one hour per week is the correct answer. The other options would exceed what the rule requires, even though facilities might provide more if feasible.
