Which form is updated to reflect the release paperwork?

• A. USM-41
• B. USMS Policy 9.21
• C. USM-106
• D. USM-40

Answer: (D)

When a release occurs, the action needs to be recorded on the form specifically used for documenting releases. USM-40 is that release documentation form, designed to capture the release date, reason, and the authorized personnel, so the inmate’s custody status is accurately updated in the record and passed along to the next point of contact. The other options don’t serve this purpose: one is a form used for a different stage in the process, another is a policy document rather than a fillable release form, and the last is a form used for something other than recording release actions.
