Which of the following is NOT a function of the control center?

• A. Control the visitation program.
• B. Monitor inmate movements.
• C. Coordinate security operations.
• D. Maintain inmate records.

Answer: (A)

The control center functions as the security hub of a facility, handling real-time monitoring and coordination of operations. It tracks inmate movements using cameras and movement logs, and it coordinates security actions across different units, especially during routine operations and emergencies. Keeping inmate records is typically done by the records or administrative staff, not the control center, so maintaining those records isn’t its primary role. The visitation program, including scheduling and eligibility, is managed by inmate services or the visiting office, not by the control center. Therefore, the action that isn’t a typical control center duty is coordinating or controlling the visitation program.
