Harass by Persons in Certain Correctional Facilities is which felony?

• A. Third Degree Felony
• B. Class B Misdemeanor
• C. State Jail Felony
• D. Class A Misdemeanor

Answer: (B)

In this area, what matters is how the law classifies harassment in a correctional setting. Harassing someone who is in a correctional facility is designated as a Class B Misdemeanor. That means, unlike felonies, it carries up to 180 days in jail and a fine up to $2,000. The question asks which category this offense falls under, and the correct choice is the Class B Misdemeanor because the statute specifically sets this offense at that level, rather than a higher felony category. The other options (different felonies or a more severe misdemeanor) would imply greater penalties, which don’t apply here. Also, note that the question’s wording might ask for a felony, but this particular offense is not a felony at all.
