Which items must be included in the 24-Hour Notification?

• A. The prisoner's social security number and date of birth.
• B. Name of the prisoner, alleged offenses, and the name of the person who ordered PTC.
• C. The court date scheduled for the trial.
• D. A formal memo describing the confinement status.

Answer: (B)

The key idea here is to convey the essential facts that establish who is confined, why, and under whose authority within a tight 24-hour window. The needed items are the prisoner’s name to identify who is in custody, the alleged offenses to show the basis for confinement, and the name of the person who ordered the pretrial confinement to indicate who authorized it and who is responsible. These three pieces give immediate, accountable context so the right officials can review or respond without delay.

The other items aren’t typically required in a 24-hour notice: a prisoner’s social security number and date of birth are sensitive details not necessary for the rapid alert; the court date may be determined later and isn’t essential for the initial notification; and a formal memo detailing confinement status is a longer document rather than the brief, urgent notice intended for immediate awareness.
