Which of the following is NOT a special circumstance that may require transporting inmates?

The option indicating that the funeral of an uncle is not a special circumstance requiring inmate transportation is correct because typically, transportation of inmates for such events is reserved for immediate family members. In many jurisdictions, this includes parents, spouses, and children. Extended family members, like uncles, generally do not meet the criteria for compelling reasons to allow an inmate to be transported out of the facility.

In contrast, situations involving core family members—such as an immediate family member's serious illness or the death of a grandparent—are usually recognized by correctional facilities as significant enough to warrant special considerations. This is largely due to the emotional and psychological impacts associated with those relationships, which can justify the need for an inmate to attend such serious family events. Thus, the other circumstances involve close family ties that are treated with greater leniency in terms of inmate transport policies.
