Code Green corresponds to which event?

• A. Unidentified Aircraft
• B. Escape
• C. Bomb threat
• D. Medical Emergency

Answer: (B)

Code Green is the alert used to signal an inmate escape. When this code is announced, staff initiate lockdown procedures, secure perimeters, conduct headcounts, and organize searches to locate the escapee and prevent further access to areas of the facility. The aim is rapid containment and safe recovery of all inmates.

The other scenarios involve different emergencies with their own responses, so they don’t fit Code Green. An unidentified aircraft would trigger a different external or security-related alert, a bomb threat calls for a bomb-threat protocol code, and a medical emergency is typically addressed with a medical code that prioritizes rapid medical response.
