Requiring prisoners to salute or address enlisted personnel as 'Sir' and related commands are considered which classification?

• A. Standard military practices
• B. Routine discipline
• C. Unorthodox military practices
• D. Unorthodox and non-standard

Answer: (D)

In a corrections setting, terms like unorthodox and non-standard are used for practices that fall outside the usual, approved procedures. Requiring prisoners to salute or address staff as “Sir” mirrors military etiquette, but in a prison context it’s not a normal or routine disciplinary method. It imposes a military-style hierarchy on inmates and isn’t part of standard operating procedures for civilian corrections, making it both unusual (unorthodox) and not supported by the established guidelines (non-standard). While it might resemble military protocol in appearance, it isn’t an accepted standard practice in this environment.
