Before interrogating an inmate under custody, what must be read to them?

• A. Miranda rights
• B. The inmate's charges
• C. A summary of the incident
• D. Their rights to privacy

Answer: (A)

Before custodial interrogation, you must read the inmate their Miranda rights. These warnings inform them of the right to remain silent and the right to have an attorney, and they state that anything said can be used against them. Reading these rights helps ensure any statements are voluntary and admissible in court, protecting the inmate from self-incrimination. The inmate’s charges, a summary of the incident, or their privacy rights are not the mandated warnings for this situation.
