Escorted temporary absence.

Escorted temporary absence.

• A. a type of conditional release that permits the offender to leave the institution accompanied by one or several members of CSC
• B. a document that outlines a risk management strategy for an offender specifying the appropriate intervention
• C. a type of conditional release that allows an offender to be out of prison during the day and requires him or her to return at night
• D. a type of conditional release that permits the offender to leave the institution unaccompanied by a CSC member

Answer: (A)

Escorted temporary absence means the offender is allowed to leave the institution under supervision, with one or more CSC staff members accompanying them for the duration of the absence. The escort provides safety, enforces conditions, and supports accountability as the offender participates in approved activities in the community, such as medical appointments, family visits, or rehabilitation programs. This is distinct from unescorted temporary absence, where no staff accompany the offender. It also differs from day parole, which is a different form of release with its own scheduling and supervision structure for daytime community access. The option describing a risk management plan refers to a planning document rather than a type of release.
