Which of the following is NOT one of the Seven Official Count Times?

• A. 7:00am Bed Book/Double
• B. 11:00am Bed Book/Double
• C. 3:00pm Bed Book/Double
• D. 9:00am Bed Book/Double

Answer: (D)

Counts are scheduled checks used to account for every inmate at specific times, ensuring safety and accountability. The Seven Official Count Times are the moments designated by facility policy for those checks. In this list, the 7:00am Bed Book/Double and the 11:00am Bed Book/Double and the 3:00pm Bed Book/Double are part of that official schedule. The 9:00am Bed Book/Double isn’t on the official timetable, so it is not one of the Seven Official Count Times. The Bed Book/Double label indicates the method used to verify bed assignments, including doubles, to confirm everyone is present. Sticking to the official times helps keep counts consistent across staff and shifts, reducing mismatches or security concerns.
