Answer 4

[AI-generated answer — Explain Bot]

You are correct! The correct answer is D. Geriatric prisoner. This term refers to individuals who are elderly or advanced in age and are serving a life sentence with little possibility of parole. Geriatric prisoners often require more extensive medical and treatment care due to their physical or mental disabilities that may accompany aging. This can include conditions such as chronic illnesses, cognitive decline, or mobility issues. The prison system in America has had to adapt to accommodate the growing population of aging prisoners and provide appropriate healthcare services for their specific needs.
