Which protocol states that an inmate's refusal to sign a property receipt must be documented by another officer?

The correct answer is TCJS 265.10 Inmate Property Checking. This protocol specifically outlines the procedures related to the checking and handling of inmate property, emphasizing the importance of accurate documentation. If an inmate refuses to sign a property receipt, having another officer document this refusal is crucial for maintaining a clear and official record of the transaction. This procedure helps protect the rights of both the inmate and the facility by ensuring that all actions taken regarding inmate property are properly recorded and corroborated, reducing potential disputes or claims regarding lost or mishandled property.

The other options relate to different aspects of inmate management or rights. Inmate property management involves broader guidelines that may not explicitly cover the documentation by an officer, while inmate rights focus on entitlements and treatment within the facility. Evidence handling pertains to processes related to legal evidence rather than the documentation of inmate property transactions. Thus, TCJS 265.10 is the most relevant protocol for this scenario.
