DC-141 Part 1 misconduct report would NOT be issued for which behavior?

• A. Harassment of staff
• B. Disobeying a direct order
• C. Possession of contraband
• D. Suicide or self-harm related behavior

Answer: (D)

The key idea is understanding what the Part 1 misconduct report is used for: it documents inmate rule violations that require disciplinary action. Behaviors like harassing staff, disobeying a direct order, or possessing contraband are clear violations of inmate discipline and would be recorded on a Part 1 report to initiate appropriate disciplinary steps.

Suicide or self-harm, however, is addressed as a health and safety concern rather than a disciplinary violation. When someone engages in self-harm or expresses intent, staff prioritize medical/mental health evaluation and safety measures, not a disciplinary form. So this behavior would not be documented as a Part 1 misconduct report.
