Which role provides direct and indirect, individual and group counseling to no more than 40 prisoners?

• A. Correctional counselors
• B. Brig Duty Officer
• C. Command Criminal Investigator
• D. Master-At-Arms Personnel

Answer: (A)

Providing both direct and indirect counseling to inmates—through individual and group sessions—is the role of correctional counselors. They assess needs, offer guidance and therapy, and coordinate resources to support rehabilitation, often maintaining a caseload around forty prisoners to ensure quality, personalized attention. The other roles focus on security, investigations, or enforcement rather than counseling, so they aren’t responsible for inmate counseling. Brig Duty Officers handle brig security and daily operations, Command Criminal Investigators conduct investigations, and Master-At-Arms personnel maintain order and security; none of these are dedicated to therapeutic services for prisoners.
