What issue can improper lock maintenance lead to?

  1. Increased staff productivity

  2. Enhanced inmate communication

  3. Locks jamming and doors not opening

  4. More recreational opportunities for inmates

The correct answer is: Locks jamming and doors not opening

Improper lock maintenance can directly lead to locks jamming and doors not opening effectively. When locks are not regularly serviced, lubricated, or inspected, the mechanisms can become rusted or malfunction due to dirt, debris, or wear and tear. This can create significant safety hazards within a correctional facility, as doors that are meant to secure areas may fail to function properly in times of emergency or when needed for routine operations. Ensuring that all locks are maintained correctly is crucial for the security of both correctional staff and inmates, as well as for maintaining order within the facility.
