Which code corresponds to restitution?

• A. Release to detainer only (D)
• B. Basic education/vocational training (E)
• C. Maximum level of supervision (L)
• D. Restitution (R)

Answer: (D)

In this coding system, single-letter codes indicate specific obligations or statuses for an offender. Restitution refers to the offender’s obligation to pay or compensate victims as ordered by the court, so the code used to flag that requirement in the record is R. That makes it the best answer because it directly identifies the restitution element in the offender’s status.

The other concepts represent different categories: a release to detainer reflects a release status rather than a financial obligation, basic education or vocational training indicates participation in a program, and the maximum level of supervision denotes how closely the offender is monitored. None of these denote restitution, so they wouldn’t be used to indicate that obligation.
