Which statement describes involuntary administrative segregation?

• A. Inmate requests separation
• B. Placement by Warden
• C. Based on inmate request
• D. None

Answer: (B)

Involuntary administrative segregation is when facility management places an inmate in a segregation unit without the inmate’s consent, usually for safety, security, or risk reasons. The decision is made by the Warden or equivalent authority, not at the inmate’s request. That’s why describing placement by the Warden is the correct fit. The other options reflect voluntary actions—the inmate requesting separation—so they don’t describe involuntary segregation. The “None” choice isn’t correct because there is a description that matches.
